[Noblesteedemily]

great job!! what was the written test like? from what you said before, it sounds kinda hard lol

[hjlhorselover]

hehe it was alright.. i got an 88% because like I said the EQ handbook stuff was really confusing so i missed 4 of those questions. but it helped that i studied with a bunch of friends etc.

[BornToRideHorses]

you look amazing and congrats on 8th :D

[hjlhorselover]

thank you!!:)

[barbarolover8888]

ETTSY!

You and alvin both look amaizing :D

great job(:

and how high are the jumps? haha

[hjlhorselover]

thank you so much!!

they were just 2'6"

[2hearts1jump]

you did so well in this ettsy! i wanted to qualify, but i didnt start qualifying until thursday afternoon, haha and its really hard to do in 2 days.

congrats on making it there though! alvin looked amazing(:

[hjlhorselover]

aww darn! to bad!! next year! did you qualify for the Greenway CEP this friday?

yeah i qualified in march..

[2hearts1jump]

yeah next year for sure!

and i'm not showing next week unfortunately. ):

good luck with it though!(:

[kitkatherine8878]

written test?

great job though

[hjlhorselover]

yeah we had to take a written test with info from the USEF EQ hand book and basic horsemanship and other stuff!

thank you!

[kitkatherine8878]

did you study it? i would think it would be easy

[hjlhorselover]

yeahh you have to study. it really really affects your score if you don't score well on it.. there were some easy parts like i only had to know certain types of the horse.. but its was all the EQ handbook rules and stuff that were hard/confusing. but i studied with like 6 people for like 4 hours strait

[XoRideToLiveoX]

you both look amazing(:

congrats!

[hjlhorselover]

thank yoU!
