Hard work. Dedication. Pain. Progress. Hopefully, success.

The Light At the End of the Tunnel...





My new Berney Bros International has finally arrived and it is gorgeous! I have actually had the saddle for about a week or two now but just got to ride in it yesterday. We had a rather large problem of the girth not fitting. Needless to say, I had to buy a new one and impatiently wait for it to arrive. Despite the bitter winter weather yesterday, I was determined to ride in my new saddle. I absolutely loved it and Stretch was so happy to be ridden again. Sometimes you have to admire his work ethic. Now that the trailer and both saddles are purchased, I am well on my way to getting back into the swing of things!

I have already began to mark down shows of interest on my new Smartpak calendar to try to decide where I want to go show. Greenwood, Holly Hill, Feather Creek, and Mill Creek are all possibilities for the Spring. If time and money permits, and depending on how the spring shows go, I would like to attend something a bit bigger during the summer. Chatt Hills and Champagne Run are possibilities there. I am still waiting on the schooling show list to come out, as I would really like to knock off the dust at something more local and cheap. I am so excited and ready! I don't think spring can get here fast enough! Fingers crossed that all goes according to plan!

Merry Christmas y'all!
