Bronwyn @ Training Show, September 25th, 2010 - not so sure about those poles!

This video hit me emotionally. Listening to the spectators encouraging words was surprising. I've only ever been around negative criticism during my experiences riding. I am glad you have people supporting you and your horse. Keep it up.

Thank you for your kind comments. I have been very fortunate - I grew up riding (my family raised and showed paints quite seriously for much of my childhood). The man you hear (also the videographer) is my father who never hesitates to hook up the trailer and haul with me - there is also a friend of mine that I met through the blog I write and the higher pitched woman's voice was a lady I met at that show that just fell in love with the horse. It helps that she's so pretty. ;)

Ok, not saying your fat or anything, but watching all the videos you post of you riding really encourage me. You and I are about he same size and I have always been self conscience when riding, but watching you ride with such confidence really does encourage me :) Thank you so much!
