Riding With A Rolex Rider... Oh my gosh!

[HunterJumperPony]

Oh my gosh, I am so excited! I get to ride with a woman who almost made it to the Olympics twice, but both time her horses went lame.. but still to even be considered for the Olympics you have to be pretty damn good. She's riden in the Rolex competion. I was looking up results and she has beaten Karen O'Conner. I'm not sure if I'm just riding with her or I get a lesson, I hope it's a lesson because that'd be one of the most amazing things of my life, but honestly either is fine.. I' am so flipping excited! Gahhhhhh! Her name is Debbie Adam's, anyone heard of her? I did find anything when I looked up her but when I looked up her and her horse a fewthings came up, but mostly just results. I am so excited, I guess I should go to bed now because I'm waking up at 6 in the morning and it's 12 o'clock right now.. Oops. Well I'll tell you guys how it goes..:):D

I had a blast! I was amazed, I rode a horse that was in Rolex.. How flipping amazing is that? The horse almost made it to the Olympics but the poor thing went lame.. Imagine coming that close and you're horse going lame, I'd be depressed. Btut they had made it to the final rounds and everything. I got to walk, trot, and canter.. No jumping but maybe next year. She's so nice, I've seen her teach. It's not like her yelling at you she's like well do this, but my Aunt said she was a quaker and that's probably why.But still, imagine having an instructor that good who didn't feel the only way to teach you was to harp at you.

[Manda]

That's amazing.

I'd like to know though, how do you get a chance to do something like that?!

[HunterJumperPony]

Pure luck actaully.. A very close family friend, you know the kind who when you grow up your family tells you to call them aunt/uncle even though you know they aren't family?Well anyway, Debbie Adam's is the sister-in-law to a very close family friend. So my Aunt and her knew I liked horses sand arranged for me to go visit Debbie. This was my secound time meeting her, the first time they offered me a $15,000 horse for free. But my parents were just lovely and said no, so sad. But thanks for all the nice comments, I hope I didn't come out like I was bragging.

He was awsome, even my little 9 year old sister who's just a young rider, not to experinced, and she rode him on a lunge. He has mellowed out a bit because he's 20. I found him really fun though, he was a big boy at 17 hands high. Next time I'm gonna ask if I can jump though, hehe.My aunt took pictures so I'll show you guys once they're printed.
