I'm gonna do it. My horse will be awesome. I will read every book I can get my hands on. Centered Riding is brilliant. I've been riding 6 days a week, and going out to groom him 7 days a week. I will be better than any of the riders my age or younger in any of the shows I go to. They're not a very high level, but it's high enough to be a challenge and give me satisfaction when I win. And I'm going to win. Alot. In equitation, jumpers, hunters, eventing, combined tests, competitive trail rides. Anything. I'm also going to do this without the trendiest clothing, because I really do not believe people who say the hunters are extremely political, and you win based on your trainer's name or the brand names you're wearing. If I put in a good round, they would have no choice but to place me. It's not like they could say "Oh I forgot about that horse." He has too many spots. So yes. I will be the best.
