Man, I forgot about how such nosy little shits you people can be sometimes.Ā āDid you guys not get along?ā- please reach farther, I want to watch you stretch bb.Erika is an absolute gem of a person. Admittedly we both actually didnāt talk to each other until meeting in person at Galway, but I did stalk her blog so like thatās the same thing right? Sheās incredibly sweet and hilarious, I fell in with her very easily as she is just such a down to earth person that it would be literally impossible to not feel at ease with her. I felt quite an immediate bond with her because she was picking out all the chunks at Galway and oh my god I want a dumb chunk draft cross like her boy Finn so bad. I donāt know what I would do with one, but I want one. Part of what makes Erika really cool to hang with is that sheās a very knowledgeable rider. Sheās very smart and getting to hear her commentary was just so refreshing, love actually getting to talk with people who know what theyāre looking at!Ā Also, like you guys- Erika bowls really well for someone trying to fuck up. Like it was absolutely unfair. She was hammer throwing that shit and getting 8 pins down. WHO DOES THAT?Laura is absolutely one of my favorite people in existence and I donāt think I can put into words how excited I was to get to spend time with her in person. I was never nervous about trying to be liked by her or surprised by who she was at all. She was one hundred percent the exact person I have already built a great friendship with and it just feltĀ ānormalā to be around each other. Almost like weād already spent time in person despite that no being that case, thatās how natural it felt in person. She is the kindest most honest and sincere person Iāve met. Sheās an utter crackup and her charm got us some free drinks at dinner. Lauraās just got a magnetic personality. Sheās also just so freaking cute. Girl absolutely lights up any room when she smiles. Warm personality that just makes you feel good about things.Ā As a rider, Laura is fantastic. Sheās done so much with Arrow and I am so incredibly stoked to see her continue to progress with him. Sheās such a technically minded rider and just freaking way gutsier than I am. Thereās so much in the way that she rides that I am in awe of and get so much inspiration from. Watching her compete this weekend really made me want to kick my ass into gear. Sheās one of my daily riding inspirations and finally seeing her ride in person just added fuel to that fire (my poor pony) that makes me want to do the most/best I possibly can. She did so brilliantly with the way she rode her cross country course, going double clear!Ā I had one of the best weekends ever with all of these girls! Too many laughs were had and now weāve got a bunch of stupid inside jokes that are hilarious to us and really dumb sounding to anyone else. I just wish weād all had so much more time because going home just made me sad! All three were such fabulous and fantastic people to spend time with and I cannot wait at all to do it again sometime soon!!!
**Also Tumblr anons, just as a general note: your littleĀ āwho do you like moreā, ādid you even like themā, āwhat are they really likeā questions & games are really revealing. Clearly you are all very duplicitous by nature and two-faced to assume that I would not love the people Iāve already become friends with. I believe in building relationships on honesty and therefore know the people I befriend are bound to be as genuine with me as I am with them. If this an unreal concept to you then maybe you ought to reevaluate how you approach all relationships in your life.**
