heyyy guys
so at first i really didnt want to put this video up because it was not our best ride by far. everytime i replay this in my mind, i know if i hadnt jumped so far ahead of him on that second to last jump, he wouldnt have knocked it over, and we might have even placed because we were doing decent on time. and yes, this is 3'3". but i got a request to put it up, so here it is :P
i dont own audio

[ nice and slow ] HD FOR PHILIP PHILIPS SINGING
i love philip philips (american idol contestant) yep. and be prepared for the longest description known to man. A+ if you read all of it.
this video is dedicated to the horses i rode these past few months. keegan, simon, blaze, missy (have no video of that) and most recently grace. whether it was very often or just a few rides, they made riding mean something for me again when i was having a bad time with cooper and felt like just giving up was the only option. i was so ready to just stop and riding became more of a hassle then fun. but it wasn't just that they helped it. they made me feel like i could ride again. i seriously advise anyone that has the opportunity to try new horses and new experiences to definitely go for it -- every horse has something to teach, and even if you go down in flames you really LEARN something, and that was made it so amazing.
keegan; where can i start with you keegy weegy. you came to bridges last year, but for most of the year, it wasn't the best for you buddy. you went lame, very badly, and so we all didn't think you were that special considering you spent most of your time being off. and then, to make things worse, you colliced. i remember when that happened, it was just me and one other person down there walking you around in the arena, making sure you wouldn't roll. we're so lucky that we noticed you rolling and covered in sweat that day, because we would've really missed a horse that is one in a million. you recovered, slowly but surely. and when you came back, you came back as amazing as ever. i had no idea how fun and amazing keegan really was until i started riding him recently. he is so dependable, perfect even. at least, perfect to my standards. he gave me confidence to jump up again, and that i could actually do it without looking like an idiot. he is so patient and full of funny quirks that it's hard not to love him. it was nice to have an experienced guy like keegan to lug me around and give me confidence again. i had no idea that my confidence was gone, either, until he gave me that full slap in the face -- hey, giana, you can ride! i'm not perfect, by no means, but he makes me feel like it haha. i'm sad because i know i wont be able to ride him anymore when i start leasing grace, but i'm thankful for the days i could!
simon: oh simooon. the fist bumping pony. he came out of no where, and honestly he is so sweet! he is a horse that will literarily sit there and cuddle you all day. he never has a bad thought, i dont think i've ever seen him pin his ears. sometimes he's a bit of the ultimate derp, but i think he's adorable. he's just a baby, but he'll jump the moon for you! we've had problems, but he's taught me so much it's unbelievable. at first we butted heads and were all over the place, but the lesson we had yesterday was pretty dang amazing and i realized how wonderful of a horse he really is. i've never really ridden a truly green horse, so that is a learning experience in it's own. but most of all, he taught me patience and made me feel so proud that i could give him confidence to be able to jump as well as he does with me. and to have my trainer tell me that what i do with him makes him better is the most amazing feeling.
blaze: don't get me started on this horse. such a sweet heart. he has his days, but the first time i ever rode him was bareback doing funny "tricks" and i fell in love with him a little after that. he is mostly a horse for the beginners lately, and he really, truly takes care of the riders on his back. and the clips of him in the video also gave me confidence because my eq actually looked decent on him, giving me more of a reason that i could do well with him. i could just hop on a horse and do things spot on. yet another horse that gave me a reason to think i could actually ride haha.
missy; videos of this pony aren't in here, but i rode her for a little while. she mostly gets out with her rider alex now, but there were a few instances when i rode her for a little and dang, this pony! she is the exact opposite of everything i ridden. never been on a 13 year old that acted worse then a 3 year old. i'd like to blame whoever had her before, because im pretty sure she was just broke and then thrown into a pasture for most of her life. missy has caused a little bit of trouble lately. she shuts down, bucks and rears (and if you want to know a fact about me is that im okay with anything a horse will throw at me, but i freak at with rears haha) and riding her was interesting to say the least. but she taught me how to ride a whole different horse. now i feel like i can ride cooper's hyper days even better because i learned how to control "the beast" haha.
grace: and grace.... gracey. i'm going to be leasing her, and just the three rides or so i've had with her have always been amazing. all i can say right now is im excited as hell for what we are going to be doing in the future.
