Monocacy Eventing

Sunday, September 19, 2010

When I'm too injured to use a saddle, we do this:

(I love my horse.)

Monocacy Eventing: Monocacy Gold was unlike any other horse I have ever met, and most who watched us go would probably say the same. We struggled with many things, (mostly being able to slow down!), but in the end, I always knew neither of us would have made it that far without the other. I lost Gold on August 19th, 2009. At that point, even the idea of ever riding again was something I didn't want to think about. I thought that I loved the sport because of the horse I had, but I recently discovered that I can continue in the sport and bring a part of Gold with me the whole way. Everything that I am as a rider, all that I am capable of, is all thanks to everything I learned from Gold. Having a new found attitude towards riding, training, and competing, I decided to write a blog to keep track of progress and frustrations within the sport of eventing. It's not always easy, and it's not always fun, but it's what I've realized I love to do, and I can't imagine doing anything else at this point in my life!
