So we were in the running for 7th place, but we had an unlucky rail down in stadium jumping.  we still ended up 14th out of 54 riders at nationals.  Pretty damn good guys.  Especially considering my horses history and experience.  yay...

That's me and my mommy...She was dubbed "Super Groom" for the pass few shows because of the number of horses I was riding or the high tension of the competition.  She did an awesome job, and it was tons of fun.  Things are gonna slow down now, at least until October.  So maybe I'll have a life now.  Sure hope you guys remember me..

sooo my boy finished in 4th ultimately.  we were winning after dressage and stadium jumping but we had one refusal on cross country due to lack of experience.  the jump was downhill on a curve and he wasn't quite sure how to handle it.  but i am very pleased-he was great. 

so i leave tomorrow! i still have a lot to do though. 

quick funny story.  my mom and i were just playin around after watching the 21st episode of gilmore girls (whos NOT obsessive??).  so then somehow we started chasin each other around the house laughing and she ended up giving me a wedgie and she ripped my underwear!  like...in several pieces...or somethin like that.  it was hysterical.  i guess you had to be there.  wow im tired ok heres some pictures of me and sam at the show saturday...day 1

lezly is leavin monday for columbus!!  i wont have a comp. or anything there unless my roomie happens to have a laptop or something fancy like that.  im one of the few "not so fancy" equestrians on our curcuit.  heh.  so basically anyway ill be completely isolated from everyone here.  but ill miss you all so much!  this is huge for me though im really really reeeeeeeally excited! 

check out my pictures from the show a couple weeks ago.  sam was an absolute shit but the pictures turned out ok...for the most part.

*stomping around in a circle and pouting*

why is it that its so difficult to take the advice that ive given to others?  blah.  im so irritated.  if i happened to "lend a helping hand" to anyone lately, regurgitate that information back to me and then maybe ill take it more seriously than hearing it from myself.  damn this makes no sense...
