My Significant Other

You won't be seeing my significant other at the show series.  I do not actually board at Southern Heritage Farm.  I board about 15 minutes away at a private barn in Catlett.  SHF was my 2nd choice, but the indoor arena won out so I'm where I am.

I saw Lilly on justappaloosas.com  It was a super floaty trot shot, she was probably a few months old.  Beautiful face, perfect slash of color, and she looked like she had sass.

I did what every horse person knows not to do.  I fell in love.  I emailed her breeder, she sent me a video.  I was hooked.  Me a poor college kid, who was selling her current horse because I was a poor college kid, was getting another horse.  What was I thinking?

I don't regret the decision.  April 2005 she came to VA a lanky 2yo filly.  She's opinionated, a little crazy, but she's a good girl generally.  She helped me get serious about dressage.  She's super scopey and fantastic over fences, but she requires a braver person than me.

Past few years have been topsy turvy with job insecurities, injuries (both of us), but hopefully this year we'll finally be able to show First level and qualify for BLMs.  We'll see.  If all else we'll just have fun.  Because that's the point of showing.  Having fun right?  :)
