Today was pretty eventful,
i was told to start making a journal of all my riding, so i can go back and learn. So this is what this new blog is. Since i'm not very good at writing, and i can't even seem to read my own handwriting.

I went to a barrel and poles clinic today out at Katie Larsens place. I learned quite a bit, however the first part of the morning still stands out to me the most.
I was going to make a run, and i came around the first barrel and my horse was good, and i went to turn the second, and  before i knew it we were both on the ground.
I layed there for a second not fully realizing what had happened, until Frank stood up slowly, i kicked my foot out of the stirrup and she just stood there.
It took me a second to comprehend what had just happened,
but Frankie had fallen and been so careful to make sure that I was okay. She put zero weight on my leg when she fell and was very aware of me. It makes me realize how blessed i am to have an animal like her. She was certainly amazing today and i'm so lucky. She could of easily, without knowing she was, hurt me.

I'm excited for my Queening competition, i'm going to relax tonight and study my butt off. I have this feeling that i'm going to do really well..
and i can't tell ya how much i would love a tiara. ;)
