Thank you

What an amazing journey I am having with Annabelle. I can't believe what we accomplished tonight. She really is gods gift to me, she had taught me so much. Through her and the Parelli program my life has dramatically changed my life. When I got her October 2011 I had no idea how my life would change. I waited a while before riding and my focus was on her not teaching myself to ride. Finally this past summer at Jesse's clinic he really helped me get better focus on my riding and ever since I've been trying to focus in that. In the past couple months I've realized the big importance of becoming a better rider.  My biggest struggles are confidence and focus and staying relaxed because I turn right brained very quickly. Going over that jump tonight really tested my focus and will power which is really hard to have going over a 3ft jump! I had to stay relaxed or Annabelle wanted to refuse the jump and if my confidence was down I couldn't even begin to stay relaxed or focused. I did that by imagining all my instructors standing there cheering me on and believing that I could do it. Words just can't explain how grateful I am for everyone who has believed in me and has helped me. I'm so excited for what the future holds.
