Chasing Points
I’m currently taking a short hiatus from the horses until the 19th. I’m in China working for two weeks at an orphanage sponsored by a U.S. charity called ChinaCare, which cares for and gives surgeries to disabled orphans. I was nervous that taking time off from riding could make it more difficult for me to qualify in the equitation classes, so my trainer, Andre, found a few one days for me to attend when the showing was quiet helping me to qualify in the Maclay and USET before I left. I hope to quality in the Medal when I return…..fingers crossed, just eleven points to go. When I return, I look forward to heading up to HITS Saugerties, followed by two weeks of showing in Kentucky! Then we’ll give the horses a break before my favorite show of the year, the Hampton Classic at the end of August. I miss riding and can’t wait to get back on the horses.
