Over The Moon!

WELL, after a few weeks of not riding because of weather and such, I FINALLY got a chance to ride!! And to make that even better, I got to have a lesson with a very dear friend of mine who I had not seen in a long time; let alone ridden with!! But this was probably the best lesson i have had in a LONG time! Everything was just spot on. I was absolutely elated to be having a lesson with Karisa and I even convinced Ana to go too :D I knew it was going to be a good ride when i got on and Joe was immediately supple. I usually have to fight with him at least the first fifteen minutes, but he was immediately spot on. I was so happy, that never happens! We started jumping and he was a bit silly at the first fence, but it had flowers at it. Needless to say i was NOT surprised. Josephine was just stellar. I simply can't get over it. We were both spot on. I jumped what was the highest since my accident in October. I finally feel 100% again. I am so thankful for that. We ended up working in a gymnastic to three feet. I felt like everything finally fell in to place. I just let go and trusted Joe and that really worked out for me. When I couldn't see a distance, he carried me there. That was truly a gift. He took care of me. It was so wonderful. We had a few pretty good fences in there, too! I can't help but say that I wouldn't feel this confident if it weren't for my trainers. Jenny never hesitated to make sure I was confident in riding. She helped me slowly build up my confidence to where I felt like I could succeed again, and I do! I even feel like I could show!! (Which is a crazy amount of confidence for me. Unfortunately school takes priority over horse shows.) I am so thankful for Jenny and Abby and Josephine. I feel so blessed. I could go on and on and on about how happy I am about yesterday's ride. It has been a long time since I have felt like this. And I couldn't be happer :')

PS Sorry this blog is so rushed, i'll try to post more next weekend. I have to run off to class!! Here are some pictures of Joe being adorable to make up for it.
