Hey yall! My name is Paula and my horse's name is Amador. He is a twelve year-old holsteiner gelding and we have been together for five months now. For those of you who were readers of our last blog that followed my friends and I, I'm glad yall are still interested. We were so sorry to leave each other but at the end of the day we all did what was best for us and our horses. I moved to Hampton Road Stables, and it's so beautiful out there, and Amador is so happy! I'm going to post pictures of him there asap! I am still training with Holly, and Amador and I travel over to her new farm quite frequently, but normally she comes to us on Tuesdays and gives us a lesson.

Amador at Hampton

We just got back from the SC State Fair where we did well. I'm going to post pics of that as soon as I get them from our amazing photo taker Amelia, tomorrow! I saw them today though and there are some really amazing ones of us over fences as well as a few great candids! We competed in the 2'3'' and 2'6'' divisions, as well as equitation and a hunter hack.

We are working really hard to get ready for the show this weekend at Mullet Hall. We are going to compete in the 2'9'' 15-Adult equitation as well as the working hunter 3ft. Also we are going to compete in the Halloween costume contest and I will post pics as soon as it's over, all I can say is our costume is awesome and super crazy! In addition to all this Amador is going to make his debut in the lead line class ridden by Holly's daughter Kenzie.

We are facing a minor setback in all our preparations though. Last Monday I sat on an old chair at my house and it completely collapsed! lol I thought I was fine until my hand started hurting really bad. I worked through it all last weekend despite the fact we all thought it was broken. So today my mom decided that I really needed to go get it looked at and get some xrays taken, just to stay on the safe side. So we went to the doctor and took care of all that and thank goodness it's not broken! I do have to be really careful when I ride and I can't ride unless it's Amador in preparation for the show this weekend.
