Horse Show Preparation!!!

Hey Yall,

Today Chipper and I went out to the barn for the day and had a delicious lunch with the gang! I finished clipping Amador's ears beforehand with Jamie's help. He was a little goofy about it but compared to normal he was sooo calm! He looks so pretty and so fancy all clipped and groomed. This weekend we are going to Mullet Hall or the Lowcountry Horse Show Association (mouth full lol) and show in all the 2'6 stuff! After lunch, I rode with Allie, Elizabeth, and Jamie. Amador was so good and we jumped about 3ft and it was great! Charles really thinks we are going to do well this weekend and so do I. I am very excited and I hope everyone will come out and support us!

Video!!!

Hey Yall,

Check out Facebook to see my college scholarship video that Amelia and I edited up and put music too! Lemme know what you think. I think we did a pretty good job. lol Also I think Amador and I look awesome turn out and behavior wise! He is so much slower to the fences and more organized than we used to be! Tomorrow I was going to head to the barn in the morning before work in the morning, but since it is going to ridiculously wet, I think I might give Ami and I both the day off to relax. That's about it for now cross your fingers for my scholarship stuff!

Love,
Paula

College Scholarship Applications!

Hey Yall,

So as many of you know I am planning on attending St. Andrews in fall 2010 and am so excited to go ride for their team. Well, the cool part is that you can actually get a scholarship just for that! The hard part is the application and extra things, is a lot to put together. I have to have a video of myself riding Amador, a list of all past instructors, a list of basically all the ribbons I ever won, a letter form myself, and a letter from Charles. If anyone else would like to write me a reference, please let me know! I will take as many as I can get, but it has to be turned in by the beginning of next week. Also I have had a ton of technical difficulties as far as my video goes, so if anyone is camera and film editing savvy and has some extra time it would be greatly appreciated.

As far as things with Amador go, he is doing super and I am going to try super hard to get some pictures up here. He is looking beautiful all clipped and fancy looking. haha We are gearing up for the first Pinto show. Our competency test might I say for the higher divisions. We are super excited and can't wait to show em what were made of! That's it for now. Please let me know if you think you can help in any way, shape, or form. Even an "I'm thinking of you" comment would be lovely.
