New Year Update!!!

Unfortunately I have not updated my blog in a while! ): My Uncle Rick informed me of this today! So, I decided I should give every one an update on what has been going on. 

One of the everyday questions I constantly ponder has to do with “All The Little Things.” Should we just learn to let them go, treat them as a big deal, or is there something in between? Recently, I have learned from my horse, Link, that with him, the little things are a big deal. 

As a rider and horse owner it is my responsibility to ride and train my horse to the best of my ability. For example, if Link is a little sore one day it should be a big deal for me. I need to make sure, that as an athlete, he is totally comfortable!

Ok, moving on from me questioning myself to an actual TeamLavengro Update!

I would like to start off this update by saying; for the next three months my trainer, Willette Brown, is fortunate enough to be in Wellington, Florida with her horses. I am super excited for her! I so wish I could go too! Being around good horses, good riding, and good teaching just rubs off on you; all in all it makes you a better rider! I can not wait for my chance to go to Wellington for a winter!

However, while she is gone the plan is for Link and I to continue to make lots of progress. As an outcome to the plan, yesterday Link arrived at his new home for the next three months!(Thank you Tina Nichols for taking such good care of him!!!!) Link will be staying at a lovely barn while he is in training with the very talented, and young, Cassi Martin! 

I am so looking forward to the progress I know will be made over the next three months! Unfortunately, Link is staying about an hour and a half away from my house so I will not be able to see him everyday. Although, I will be going down to ride him at least once a week!

One really cool aspect to this whole plan is the technology piece! Myself, my mother, Cassi, and Willette are going to try and set up virtual lessons! We hope it is possible to hook the video camera to the computer and have it stream live to Willette over Skype. This would be awesome because Willette would be able to watch me ride LIVE from Wellington, Florida!!!!!!! 

I hope to get another blog up soon!! Thank you to everyone that is following my blog and supporting me in my riding career! It means so much to me!
