I got home from my last horse trial of the year. There will be no more until May 2009...

So my life is much slowed down... wait, that does not sound right.... ha! Life is freakin insane! I only have 3 more weeks of class! Which is awesome... annnnd we get off until the 21st of January. SWEET!

Well, I don't really know what to say, so I will leave you with a couple photos.

Dressage: Our first novice test, got a score of 38.42!!!

Stadium: We went clean and with much confidence. Flag preformed on his top game!

cross country: We started beautifully. Flag was going at a nice 400 mpm pace, at least. Then the big pink table.... We had one refusal, then I came at it again with the crop in his sight and we sailed over it too. But that cost us 4th (out of 12) to put us in 7th. Even with the stop, I had 14 seconds on my watch.... like I said, it was a nice pace ;). (I hope to get better x-country photos soon)

Can this life stay golden?

I can't wait for tomorrow as it is a special day, and I want to post this today as I will be gone all day tomorrow for the occasion.

Happy birthday, Mike! Turning 21 is a big deal, and I am happy I am able to share with you on your day.

I just hope the aftermath of the day does not last too long into Sunday. Haha.

With much love,
