Hey, blogosphere! I haven't quite decided what I want to do with this blog... I thought I was officially finished with blogging, but now that Tim is back at it, I find myself wanting to share our progress with all of you :) I'll try to post as often as possible, though I totally understand if my inconsistency now means that I have no readers.
Tim had his final checkup at R&R today and was officially cleared to start jumping. I jumped him tonight for the first time since september. Can you believe it? SEPTEMBER. He has been back in work for the past 1.5 months and has been super! Tonight was no exception. In other exciting news, I got a Devoucoux while Timmers was broken and decided to sell my County jump saddle. So I rode tonight for the first time in a month (I went to the Bahamas for Jan term), in my brand new Chiberta, on my newly jumping horse... life doesn't get much sweeter :) Oh and a big shoutout to Hill for coming out to video and set jumps XO
I woke up this morning to a text from E saying that Jekyll's trainer needed to push back trying him until tomorrow... BOO. So, our appointment is at 1:00 and I'll make sure to post videos and pictures tomorrow night! Hillary and I actually got to watch him go at River Glen over the weekend, and I have to say that I was impressed. However, he was only going Starter and has a rather questionable past with lots of stops and rails on his record. I have accepted the fact that he is probably not going to be my next horse, but it can't hurt to try him!
In other news, E and I are working on scheduling a trip to Florida! Kyle Carter has four horses lined up for us to look at :)!!!! The most promising candidate goes by Apollo, and I'm obsessed. I want him. He has been competed and brought up the levels by an adorable 14 year old girl, which makes his story even better in my opinion. He is definitely the most promising candidate we have found so far and I am incredibly excited to go see him! Fingers crossed that he doesn't sell before we make it down there!
16.3 hands
10 years old
Oldenburg x Selle Francais
ADORABLE
Brought up the levels by a teenager, selling because she wants a prelim+ horse
It's official, I'm out of school and home for the summer :) I'll post with a more detailed update tomorrow, but for now I have some screenshots and videos to share from my jump school on Sunday. Limerick and I are really starting to get our act together cantering fences, especially when I just leave him alone and let him do his job! Easier said than done, I know! I have my first lesson at home on Friday, so I'll definitely update with how that goes!
