Riding for Christian Kennedy 2019

Another couple days in the sun for the books, I am working hard at my farmers tan (sorry northern friends). I have been able to keep teaching the WIT girls and they are working hard at improving their seats. Really impressed with this group and I have enjoyed helping them study for their quizzes that they have every Friday. Its fun for me to teach anatomy, or talk about the skeleton of the horse and things of that matter. I have been making them Quizlets to help them further study and use that as a tool to help them. I have really enjoyed that, and my position here at the barn.           Another activity I enjoy is watching my horse improve and get stronger! He has been doing amazing under the wings of Lendon and Oded. Sometimes I have to look down and wonder if I am riding Totilas or Kahlua ;).

Blog for 2019 WIT Program and Christian Kennedy Scholarship: Winter of 2019 is the first winter I have ever been to Wellington Florida.

I have only been here for a little over a week and the first word that comes to mind is “wow”. Wow to the people I have met and all the girls in the WIT program that I will be helping teach this winter. Wow to the horses and riders I have already been able to see and being around them has helped me ride better already! Wow to the generous Oded Shomoni for helping my horse and me achieve great things, I have only taken two lessons and I am so excited for more! And of course wow to Lendon for believing in me enough to invite me down here. I am excited for this journey and would love to tell you all about it. I am also taking this opportunity to ride for Christian, for such an amazing rider and person and for me
