g r a t e f u l

as always I really don't like this video; it's a 4 AM video morning, and I wanted to edit but there's inspiration behind it at least.
I opened my formspring back up to anonymous comments and therefore haters. Which they don't tend to bother me; I mean yes they do but it's the whole let it roll of your shoulder kind of thing because they don't spit reasons for hate, and I offer nothing to be jealous of, honestly I'm a normal individual as things go. I have the normal valleys that I'm faced with in life and you just have to face them; the don't go away.
but well, I have my reasons for choosing to not be a highly religious person. I'm a raised southern bred Baptist child, and my dad was a preacher. I've been in church all my life; I know the ropes, and I have my beliefs.
Faith is tested at points, but I do rely on God for a good bit of my life regardless of the fact of whether I choose to no longer attend church unless I'm forced.
But what this is boiling down to is the fact that I am grateful; for every opportunity given; for every pony I've had a chance to work with, for EVERY single good and bad thing that's happened. There's a light at the end of every tunnel and while I am an extreme politically straight realist, I'm also an optimist, just grounded by reality. I don't roll on hope, I ride on effort and hard work.
I always step into the ring intending to do my best whether I'm riding against quote "ten year olds" or professionals. And a slightly shout out to my anonymous haters (: love you guys by the way, there are kids that ride everywhere that are ten years younger than me that ride better than me. And I am humble enough to admit that. I don't get unfurled at spiteful comments so if you feel the need to cut me on formspring and it brings you pleasure, I just want you to know that I agree with half of what you are saying; other than the fact that some of you are saying I am ungrateful. I'm sorry that I've come off in that manner; I never take anything for granted and I appreciate every driving force in my life.
As for Canada (: he was a different pony this weekend! He was completely amazing. We didn't qualify but we had some awesome rides and he was very well behaved so we'll try again, but no regrets. Thank you for all the support and the anonymous honesty. I'd rather you express your true feelings about me, even if you can't sign your name.
Happy week all! I have a better video planned for these clips 'cause this really does suck. I just mainly wanted to write an ass long description xP
formspring for those who requested (:

i remember watching this video before the may camden show I took dicaprio too, and legitimately sat my mom down & showed her this video, and how you smile in it because I wanted to try to not be stressed and have a fun relaxing show (to the tune of this song) it didn't happen at ALL at that show, there was yelling & crying, but I experienced it at september camden. the calm and amazing message you may or may not have mean to send with this video reached me.. thank you erin ♥

@Pinkeyrox I'm so glad. It's odd that I was just going through these old videos of Canada :[ I'm sad I gave up on him.

I love the short length of your videos... they don't get boring or repetitive, and they still showcase your riding and gorgeous ponies <3
