........It's the ride of your life. Your heart is racing, the crowd is screaming, the judge's eyes are staring you down, but you don't feel any of this. With your earpiece intact, you and your trainer are an indestructible pair. The entire crowds' eyes are on you, their faces anxious to see what's to come. You are so nervous you can feel your legs shaking beneath you, but confident you can win at the same time. It's almost like your nerves take over, and you're just going to hold on for the ride. No matter how many times you have shown, this feeling never goes away. All the hours you spent practicing are out the window now. It's just you and your horse out there, and it's show time!

Calling it Home..

Everyone,
   The next few days were full of boring stuff, like registering for school, school shopping, and painting my room. When I got settled in permanently my mom went back to Indiana. It didn't take long for me to start getting homesick. I think it was the fact that I knew I was going to stay down there that scared me the most. At a time like this I knew exactly what I needed. As soon as I walked into the barn Santana was there to greet me at his stall. Since I was going to stay, I was also going to start showing performance horses. In everyday terms, the ones that "step high." My first show was the weekend after my first week of school, and boy was I nervous.
