We’ve made a lot of progress this summer! I posted a video back in June of me and Chapstick finally catching the trot.

That was the first lesson that we got it just about every time. Now, we get it every time 🥳 As a juvenile, my quiet hands were one of my main strengths as a rider…so it was frustrating earlier this year not knowing when (if ever) they would return, along with having an independent seat.

But I’ve worked my tail (and hands!) off this summer, and here we are 🙌 

Grateful for my trainers that gave me the confidence to stay positive 💯

And for Chapstick who has given me no choice but to come back as an even stronger rider for him 🙏

We are still only just getting started! ✨
