My dad and I are on our way home.... Leaving Steiner dressage is very bitter sweet. I am already planning when I can go back, and I'm wishing we weren't so far apart! But the important thing is that I had an amazing experience. I can't believe the whole summer has gone by already.
I was supposed to show Webby this weekend, but unfortunately I was in the hospital this past week with a nasty staph infection :/ it is what it is now, but I am definitely bummed that I'm not going to get a quantitative reflection of the progress he and I made this summer. We worked really hard and then didn't even get to show off!
Fortunately, this doesn't change the fact that I learned so much and made tons of progress this summer. Training with Betsy has started to set the stage for my career. I am getting the foundation I need to become a professional. We were very intense all summer because I am driven to do well and be the best that I can be and Betsy was more than happy to push me and teach me. It's been a bit of a whirl wind, but I learned so much. It's a little daunting to know that I've come so far but still have a really long way to go. I am so ready to get this staph situation all healed up so I can get back in the saddle! You would think that a summer of barn labor 6 days a week would scare me away, but it has only fueled my fire. Full time training has only made me want to ride more...
So I guess Betsy turned me into a Dressage rider after all ;)
