Day One!

It has started!!
We had lessons first thing this morning and Chloe felt amazing! All the other girls came back reporting the same thing, I'm so excited for our team! We then spent our time getting ready for the trot up. We had some wardrobe malfunctions and ultimately a couple of us had to be sewn into our skirts, but all was well because in the end all the horses passed and that is what matters!! After the jog I walked my two star coarse for the first time ever and I know i have asked this many times before but cant we please just fast forward to cross country!?! The track looks amazing! It is a very galloping coarse and has some good questions and I honestly cannot wait to ride it! We also picked our order of go for the weekend and Natalia Gurmankin is first out, she is going by the name trail blazer now! Next out we have Tessa Becket and third out is Me and Chloe. I'm planning on going to the barn extra early to ride once before and the rest of the time will be dedicated to bathing her, I swear she plans on getting extra dirty the night before dressage. Today we also had the opening ceremonies and it was awesome getting to walk in the grand stand arena with all me team mates representing California. The competition has started my friends and i'm excited to trot down that center line tomorrow. For now though im going to go visualize my test some and SLEEP!!

Bounce into water and it goes to the turtle in the water. That is also a Styrofoam jump in. If a horse hangs a leg it will supposedly crumble.
Double corners
so many gallop fences, I love it!
