I'm so proud of both of you for stepping out of your comfort zones and having good trips. Some days aren't our best, but hearing that Ellie wasn't spooky, and that you were able to improve from round to round are both HUGE accomplishments you should be really proud of :-D Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697362741342101748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041895980330771179.post-36314699567642841262014-05-20T08:23:38.891-07:002014-05-20T08:23:38.891-07:00Sorry to hear you heard some things that upset you...Sorry to hear you heard some things that upset you, that is the worst especially at a show when nerves are already on high alert.

The more I have gone and done the better I do. I have learned that for me I need to just only worry about myself the maybe hour preceding my rides. Selfish but I can't be worried about anyone else. I need to be unrushed and relaxed getting ready and it really improves my experience. That window is closing now and I have a much easier time but it was definitely gradual. Also now I trust Houston and rarely do I worry anymore about what he's going to do. Makes it much less stressful when you can only be concerned about you and not a green bean. <br /><br />You guys will get there :) Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884053627728391449noreply@blogger.com
