Very emotional watching this last night! World champions! 💖 the best freestyle test I’ve ever seen…

Thought I’d share in case people haven’t had the pleasure of watching it:

It was absolutely stunning. I keep watching it!
My children aren’t horsey and they’ve now stopped listening to me when I was trying to tell them about it while watching it again!

I wish! I think every horse girl dreams of being at world championships! I might need a lottery win 😂

We have our first competition in a couple of weeks 😬😬 we’ve been working really hard
 
I do love this boy, and I’m very lucky to be his mum!

We have been working hard and we have had some fantastic days training; and other days that are not so fantastic. Today was one of those difficult days.

I try to keep a good balance, and give us both plenty of time between training to relax (physically but more importantly mentally). I also make sure my horse has regular physio and is happy in his work. Lots of hacking always helps!

For the last couple of weeks, Woody has felt amazing and really on the ball. Felt like we could take on the world…… But today was just one of “those not so good days”. One of those days were you feel all training and progress has gone out of the window….

I think as riders it’s really hard to not feel down or get discouraged by the bad days. It’s hard to not get into arguments with your horse or project negative feelings. They are not machines.

It can also be hard not to lose confidence in your progress so far.

I think today is a ‘pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off’ kind of day. Horses really do know how to humble us when we are flying high, but I think it’s really important not to give up 💖💖💖
