Apr 9, 2022: “The difference between try and triumph is a little umph” - Unknown . On the Saturday before Easter I rode Griffin independently for the first time in several months. We practiced Grade 1 Novice Test A and had a few bobbles but it went great! I think we are going to be able to film the test for virtual judging again soon and I’m excited! We are getting better all the time and Griffin was such a good boy. Thank you so much for putting up with me buddy, I know you don’t understand why I do these crazy dressage tests. I appreciate you so much 😊❤️🐴🇺🇸 . I will put the whole video of us riding up soon. . #equinepartner #equinepartnership #dressage #paradressage #dressagetest #dressageteam #fyp #photooftheday #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #trusttheprocess #enjoythejourney #usef #adultamateur #chasingdreams #breakingbarriers #littlesteps #sponsoredrider #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #kerritseq #kerritsrootd #neverknockgoods #cerebralpalsy #disabledathlete #strongereveryday #goodboy #aspiringparalympian (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjsjqYMKsM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

April 5th, 2021: “Some people dream of success, others wake up and work hard at it.”- Clinton Anderson . Cappy and I had a great lesson today! It was really hot so we couldn’t be working for too long, but what we did get out was awesome 😊 We practiced our independent riding and my personal goal today was to guide Cappy around without looking down and I did it! I also didn’t get nervous when Cappy wanted to veer off somewhere else and both of these things together made our ride great and helped Cappy be more comfortable with me! I’m so happy with how it went and I’m hoping that I can ride without sidewalkers really soon because that would open up so many doors for us, but even if it doesn’t happen yet I’m still so excited for the rest of my lessons this week! My next personal goal is to release the tension in my arms and shoulders so I can follow Cappy’s movement better. Although I’m not balancing with my arms anymore my body needs to be as fluid as I can make it for my horses. I love them so much and I can’t wait to see where we go next 😊♥️🐴🇺🇸 . P.S Prior to the taking of this photo Cappy decided my arm was a tasty snack 😂 No worries I’m not hurt, just wanted to show that everything isn’t always as perfect as it seems 😊. Every day with horses is an adventure! .

March 27, 2021: “Offer them respect, earn their trust, build a relationship, rejoice in the love, become a team.”- Unknown . Shane and I had a fantastic lesson and lots of time together today. We were able to go through FEI Grade 1 Novice Test A twice, and I’m getting so much better at the half circles down centerline! My legs were also super relaxed and it was fun to get to try it all in a halter instead of a bridle today 😊 After we were done with the test we had enough time to go down the driveway for a break and change of scenery and Shane really enjoyed it! There’s lots of video of us outside if you scroll through 😊 With all the people that come for lessons it’s rare that we get to be together this much, so I had such a blast. Being able to ride Shane outside with someone clipped on was also huge for me because it gave me confidence that I’ll be able to go on trail rides with my friends in the future which is something I have wanted to do since my childhood ♥️ You were a star today Shaners, this is one of the best days I’ve had with you in a long time and I’m so grateful to have you as a partner 😊🇺🇸♥️🐴 . Shane and I are looking to enter a virtual show together in mid April and go through the test again for the USEF/ USPEA virtual judging program in May. And of course I am going to keep working on riding Cappy independently and enter more shows with him later this year. I love showing because it is a chance for me to showcase the partnerships I have with my equine partners. . #horsemanship #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #equinepartner #trustyourself #enjoythejourney #haveconfidence #believeinyourself #horses #strongereveryday #fyp #explorepage #photooftheday #usef #adultamateur #equestrian #paraequestrian #dressage #paradressagerider #paradressage #thefutureisbright #lovingeveryminute #lovingit #chasingdreams #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #kerritsrootd #kerritseq #myariat #cerebralpalsy #aspiringparalympian (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7rMS4nK-q/?igshid=1j0b06krcerii
