Wish me luck!

What an excellent opportunity Maria. It's so nice to see someone who is willing to pursue their dream rather than just sit around and "wish" they could do something. Keep us updated on how you're doing. Best of luck!

Tammy, that means a lot to me, thank you!

Just thought I'd give a quick update, like you wanted! I just got home from the trial, and they invited me to stay on, so I'll be going back at the beginning of September. Connor will be leaving at the end of August to get up and settled in before I arrive. That way when I get there we can start right in on our training together.

It's defiantly a LOT of work and never ending at that, but Oz said that he saw an improvement in my riding in that short time (as did a few people here at home when I rode today), and also if we work hard Connor and I will be ready to go to a couple big shows next season, so I am defiantly excited for that! The horses there are lovely, I'm in love with a $300 000 horse, sadly I don't think it would work out, lol! And Simone's Olympic horse is an absolute dream. So yeah, that's pretty much my life story right now!

Oh, and did I mention that there's a pool there that we're allowed to use whenever strikes our fancy?! That pretty much sealed the deal for me right there ;D
