The Countdown Begins!

Hey everyone!
I created this blog to keep all of you posted on Chloe's and my journey to the North American Junior Young Rider Championships aka NAJYRC. This year the championships are being held in Lexington, Kentucky. The same horse park that the World Equestrian Games will be held! I am competing for Area VI which is comprised of California and Hawaii. We are taking two riders for the two star team: Me on Copycat Chloe (chloe) and Natalia Gurmankin on her horse Teqs. For the one star team we are taking Madison Reeb on her horse Raquel and Kelly Loria on her horse Lucy.
This last week has been a very busy one. Packing, packing, packing and packing to sum it all up! My dad headed out today with our dogs. He is driving the truck and trailer back there filled to the brim with all of our young rider "stuff", hay, tack etc. Tomorrow we will all ride our dressage tests one last time for the coach, who is conveniently my mother. Friday morning the horses have there last gallop and that afternoon we are off to L.A. The horses will stay there two nights having Saturday as a rest day and Sunday morning we will be flying to the horse park. And when I say "we" that is including the horses. I am so excited!!!!! I have never flown a horse and what is even more exciting is Natalia and I get to fly with our horses. I think I have been so busy this past month I have not really taken the time to get excited. But now I have let it sink in and I am ready to be there!

Anyways, I will be periodically updating this with pictures, results, the days summary etc. I hope you enjoy!!
