From Slaughterhouse to Show Ring

I know the video doesn't really go with the lyrics, but I loove this song X)

This is my first video...

It's about me and Tilly's journey together :)

I've had Tilly, my thoroughbred mare, for over 3 years. about 2 years ago she went lame for 6 months and was on total stall rest. She's just now beginning to surpass where she was before, so we lost QUITE a bit of training time.

The pictures are from all our time together (hence her stall wrapped in wrapping paper at the beginning), but the videos are only from this show season.

Since she had gone lame, we started on little 2' guys at our first show back to regain her confidence. But all the other videos are 3'-4'.

If it wasn't for this horse, I would probably not be here right now, and she'll be with me until her very last breath.

The song is Giving In, by Adema,
and I own all these videos.

Regionals are horrible! And you guys get to step foot on the cross country course, let alone compete on it? No fair! We're not allowed at our state horse show because you can get hurt on it, like you can't get hurt anywhere else. They should just wrap us up in bubble wrap and make us walk around the show ring with our horses watching us!

@feathersmom111 No lol that XC course was at a completely different facility and show ;) They'd never let us on a XC course at 4H unless they went crazy haha.
