Laying down an accurate schedule

Since I plan on working Baby up to 3'0" as the season goes on, I've made a plan regarding what classes I will do at each show. It's subject to change, but I like having a base timeline to follow.

May 16th
14-17 Medal
Jr. Equitation @ 2'6"

May 17th
Low Children's Medal
14-17 Medal
Jr. Equitation @ 2'6"

June 6th
Hunter Derby @ 2'6" w/ high options
14-17 Medal
Jr. Equitation @ 2'6"

June 7th
Hunter Derby @ 2'6" w/ high options
14-17 Medal
Jr. Equitation @ 2'6"

June 20th
Low Hunter @ 2'9"
14-17 Medal

June 21st
14-17 Medal
Junior Equitation @ 3'0"

July 18th
14-17 Medal
Junior Equitation @ 3'0"

July 19th
14-17 Medal
Junior Equitation @ 3'0"

Medal Finals (date is up in the air for now)
14-17 Medal Final
Junior Equitation @ 3'0"

 MHSA & MAEF finals TBA

I'll throw some pony medal on Molly in there somewhere, probably the second weekend in June.

I can only do the medal until I qualify. Hopefully I'll qualify a lot earlier this year and save myself a class fee until finals. Junior Equitation is the only thing that I'm going for points in, and I just have to keep my points high enough to go to that final, and I'm still not sure how that or the MAEF final is going to work considering the fact that I'll be at school. Yes, I'll be riding, but I have no idea if the horses at my chosen school's barn will be available for me to show if they're being used in lessons and IHSA. I guess I could ask Miss S to make sure that someone rides Baby. Eh, we'll see what happens.

The Kids Are Alright: Interview with Jill Treece

Image
If there's anything that my generation gets mocked for, it's our relationship with social media. We use it too much, we're addicted, it's unhealthy, we can't operate without it, and so on. Yet, many of the major complaints don't recognize the wealth of knowledge and interpersonal relationships that come with an online presence. Let's face it: social media and its subsidiaries are a double edged sword. This topic has plagued me for a while, but when Jill Treece posted a comeback video to her YouTube channel, it felt like an appropriate time to start a conversation. why i left youtube by Jill Treece You may know Jill Treece from running over Boyd Martin that one time . . . or you may be following her recent foray into clicker training her Thoroughbred mare Zoë. Jill and I are about the same age and began our online platforms at around the same time. She started an Instagram account for her old horse to document their adventures in Eventing. From there

Unspoken Rules of the Hunter Ring

Image
Ever since I started riding, I've been a part of the hunter ring. It's not an easy sport, and it's kind of difficult to really fit into a hunter operation if you've never experienced it before. So, if you're about to switch disciplines or just dipping a toe into the sport, keep these bits of information in mind. From one hunter to the next, good luck! 1. Only black or white saddle pads are allowed. I cannot stress this enough. It's about being profeshunal, people. Just because the page on Dover said HUNTER green, doesn't mean it's allowed in a hunter barn. Common mistake. Don't make it. sin!!! sin, I say!!! 2. Your everyday riding attire will be as follows: solid colored polo shirt (tucked in), beige Tailored Sportsman breeches, a black belt, black tallboots (either Ariat, Tredstep, or Parlanti). The only time you can divert from this is at shows. Then, you are allowed to school in a quarter zip, but that's it. Also, I'd like to r

The Regionals Swing

Image
Yup, that time of year again. I still didn't qualify for regionals, but after seeing how last year went, I didn't even put it down as a goal. Eh, I might try senior year. I don't feel too pressured about it. Reaching (in vain) for my taco My parents and I made the 2.5 hour drive on Saturday morning. We actually arrived early, so I started helping bring horses in and unblanket them. Everything ran smoothly during set up. I was only schooling Leia, which went fine except her being super slow. Over the past year and a half, Leia has gone from being super strong and forward to fences to being a leg ride the whole time. We started with some trash distances but got it together for a good school. Unfortunately, so was just as slow and chippy with most of the people who rode her. Eh. Horses are kind annoying anyway. Looking for free tacos I spent a decent amount of time cuddling with Carlos in the morning before helping tack up Murry for the flat classes. I also finally
