A Very Overdue Update

Hey everybody! I hope all is well in everyone's lives. It has been nearly 3 weeks since Punky and I moved to Windchase! I love it here! Punky and I have grown in leaps and bounds over the past few weeks. I am 10x the rider I was. I ride 1-3 horses every single day. Punky and I receive dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country lessons from all of the great instructor here at Windchase.

My first ever cross country school was the most amazing experience. A day like that reminds me of why I love this sport. Punky and I make a great team and we have become very close over the past few weeks. I love my horse. He has saves my butt over jumps and he is so forgiving of my mistakes. To me he is worth his wait in gold. Phyllis, Jineen, and Melissa (the trainers here) are also quite fond of my little Appaloosa. Rumors of a very nice moving, strangely marked Appaloosa are starting to circulate the farm. I love this life! The work is hard but you gain so much that it makes it all worthwhile. Even when you get stepped on, your arms yanked on, your hands get rope burn, and you almost eat dirt everyday.


I will try to post more frequently. I swear I will!


With Love,

The Dark Horse
