Apr 9, 2022: “The difference between try and triumph is a little umph” - Unknown . On the Saturday before Easter I rode Griffin independently for the first time in several months. We practiced Grade 1 Novice Test A and had a few bobbles but it went great! I think we are going to be able to film the test for virtual judging again soon and I’m excited! We are getting better all the time and Griffin was such a good boy. Thank you so much for putting up with me buddy, I know you don’t understand why I do these crazy dressage tests. I appreciate you so much 😊❤️🐴🇺🇸 . I will put the whole video of us riding up soon. . #equinepartner #equinepartnership #dressage #paradressage #dressagetest #dressageteam #fyp #photooftheday #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #trusttheprocess #enjoythejourney #usef #adultamateur #chasingdreams #breakingbarriers #littlesteps #sponsoredrider #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #kerritseq #kerritsrootd #neverknockgoods #cerebralpalsy #disabledathlete #strongereveryday #goodboy #aspiringparalympian (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjsjqYMKsM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feb 18th, 2021: Horses never fail to make me smile, no matter what else is going on in my world. I have other things I like to do, but none of those things compare to the precious two hours a week I have with horses ❤️ . Cappy and I had a great ride today after the crappy weather on Thursday prevented us from working together. We worked on more balance and body awareness exercises then. The focus of today’s lesson was to try to return to the same feeling of relaxation and flow that I had last week. Today was a bit tougher as I have been sitting more than usual at home due to having extra computer work. So my hip flexors were tighter than usual. Despite this, we both did so well and I’m so proud of us. Aside from relaxation and balance, I got to try some more rein work today, and I feel like I am getting better with it each time. Mrs.Lisa and Nina came up with a cool method to teach me how to lead Cappy that feels like a combination of leading and neck rein. I have to get used to it but I’m sure we’ll be riding circles around the arena in no time ♥️🐴😊🇺🇸 . P.S Cappy got clipped! Look how cute he looks! . #horse #horses #horselove #jointhejoy #timeisprecious #enjoythejourney #enjoythemoment #progressnotperfection #trusttheprocess #photooftheday #explorepage #usef #adultamateur #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #sponsorship #sponsoredrider #cappy #goodboy #dream #dreamer #chasingdreams #strongereveryday #thefutureisbright #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #breakingbarriers #dowhatyoulove #hardwork #cerebralpalsy #aspiringparalympian https://www.instagram.com/p/CLc4rs3HP9Y/?igshid=1hdeqrk2a8067

Feb 12, 2020: Yesterday Cappy and I had a super fun ride! It was honestly one of the most relaxing rides I had in a long time, probably because I wasn’t so lasered in on being perfect or doing things right. I also paid more attention to my breathing and could correct my body more quickly thanks to the rhythm training from last time. Towards the end we also practiced some more rein stuff, so hopefully I will go back to learning how to direct Cappy with the looped reins soon. I hope that I can maintain this level of relaxation in all my rides, as it will be so helpful. My seat and legs are staying more consistent and I’m so pleased with our work. . I was supposed to have a dressage lesson today with Shane to go over the comments from Grade 1 Novice Test A, but it was canceled due to a bad thunderstorm. I miss my Shaners but I know will be back at it soon. Today hasn’t been the best day for a lot of reasons, but I’m doing my best to stay positive and not dwell on it. A bad day doesn’t equal a bad life. I’m choosing to focus on the good 😊❤️🐴🇺🇸 . #positivity #thinkpositive #relaxation #celebratethelittlethings #progressnotperfection #trusttheprocess #enjoythejourney #photooftheday #explorepage #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #sponsorship #sponsoredrider #usef #adultamateur #dressage #paradressage #equestrian #paraequestrian #strongereveryday #breakingbarriers #dreambig #dreamer #chasingdreams #cappy #goodboy #welshxtb #cerebralpalsy #aspiringparalympian (at Emerald M Therapeutic Riding Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQBxrunnJt/?igshid=12t15q9oysb8z

“Horses lend us the wings we lack” - Pam Brown I got to ride Cappy independently today! It was a blast and I can’t wait to do it again! It was way easier than the first time I tried it and that made me so happy. Cappy was such a happy boy and had floppy ears the whole time I was guiding him around 😊 If at first you don’t succeed try again! I even managed to remember to use my elbows when asking him to halt and he did. I’m so proud of myself for not giving up when using the reins in a different way was hard. Look at us now! Soon we’ll be riding circles around everyone and having the best time ❤️😊🇺🇸🐴 . I’m wearing my @kerritseq Willow Ice Fil Top and Juniper Ice Fil Tights just in time for #cpawarenessday tomorrow. Don’t forget to wear green and #gogreenforcp for all the CP warriors out there, and be on the lookout for more CP awareness goodness from me 💚💚💚 . #try #dontgiveup #dontquit #trustyourself #trusttheprocess #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #independence #explorepage #photooftheday #horses #dressage #paradressage #equestrian #paraequestrian #troxelhelmets #troxelshare #sponsoredrider #kerritseq #kerritsrootd #usef #adultamateur #chasingdreams #breakingbarriers #strongereveryday #hardworkpaysoff #cerebralpalsy #aspiringparalympian #la2028 (at Emerald M Therapeutic Riding Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0Q6oJnQU5/?igshid=1vfxywkm631xx

Jan 14th, 2021: Today I got back on Shane for the first time since Christmas break and we had a great lesson! It felt really good to be back with my buddy. When I got on we had to lower my stirrup leathers by 4 holes because my legs are doing so much better with all of the surcingle work on Cappy and the hip flexor stretching I’ve been doing at home. I had a short lesson so Shane and I worked the first four movements of Grade I Intro B. Because I wasn’t as tight i was able to get Shane a little bit more forward which was great! He did really well with what we worked on today, aside from being a bit sticky with turning to the right which is new for him. He did shoulder-in instead at first, but after a few tries I was able to get him to circle right. I’m not sure if my cues were off, if he was experiencing tightness on his right side and it was uncomfortable, or what made him reluctant to turn right, but I know he did his best for me and that’s all I can ask for. I do know that my hands are my biggest enemy when it comes to my riding and it’s going to take a lot to reprogram my muscle memory to correct the issues I have, but I know I will be better with them if I keep working at it. I did try holding the reins with my whole palm closed around them instead of with my thumbs on top, and it allowed me to stay more open and balanced. I’m proud of myself and Shane for the work we did today. All the small improvements I have been learning about and making have been helping so much, and the future looks brighter all the time. Good boy Shaners ❤️🐴😊🇺🇸 . #horse #horses #dressage #paradressage #paradressagerider #grade1paradressage #equestrian #paraequestrian #usef #adultamateur #dreambig #workhard #hardwork #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #troxelhelmets #sponsoredrider #sponsorship #thefutureisbright #chasingdreams #breakingbarriers #strongereveryday #progressnotperfection #trustheprocess #cerebralpalsy #aspiringparalympian (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKC-srrnQPZ/?igshid=14r7ze2w5rpvp

How amazing is @laineyea video of her Boy? . "For those who missed it here’s the video of Patrick’s #waterrecovery at the amazing @newboltoncenter. This state-of-the-art method of bringing horses out of anesthesia after surgery reduces the risk of injury exponentially keeping our best friends safe post-op where so many unnecessary injuries can occur. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the amazing team behind the great Dr. Dean Richardson who kept my boy’s safety as their number one priority from beginning to end of his visit. Excited to begin our #roadtorecovery 💪🏽 Now THAT’S a #mondaymotivation I can get behind!!! #paddywillflyagain" #sponsoredrider #inspiration #equestrianlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ebo6ujpAv/?igshid=ux3qz2vwdt5i
