Hey guys! For those of you who are new-ish to the game, I'm Dana and I used to play BITS a long time ago. I do pop back in from time to time to check up on show results, and I just realized that I can post on this board, yay!
Big congrats to Secret Flare and Elise (if you still own him?) for *almost* winning the Triple Crown
Pretty exciting to see that. But I was wondering what happened to the rest of my horses? I've seen maybe one or two of my eventers in recent results, and maybe one 'chaser. I understand that you guys are busy and everything but it would be nice to see some of my old guys competing again. (Razillian? Radioflyer?)
Things have been going pretty well for Freedom and I. Last season we placed 5th in two training level USEA events. They would have been 4th and 3rd, had I not made the same stupid mistake twice in stadium and pulled a rail each time. But live and learn, right? It was our best season ever and I'm really excited to acctually have placed for once, haha. Freedom also has a new leasor, after his leasor of 4 years who had helped me train him had to give him up in order to save money for college. His new leasor is only 12 and not very experienced, but Freedom has really surprised me by staying calm and being a good boy for her. He's really growing up, and hopefully she'll be able to learn from him as much as I did. And yes, our dressage still sucks. A lot. But jumping is going awesome. We did a jumping exhibition a few weeks ago at our barn's open house (for people who live in the neighborhood and families of riders to come in and see what goes on at the barn), and got to jump 5' for the first time which was really exciting. Hopefully we can get our dressage going in time for next season... but dressage is not exactly my favorite thing so we'll see how that goes
Question for the admins... are some of the boards set to private? I can't see as many boards as I remember there being... like horses for sale/wanted, buying facilities, and general discussion. There may be more but that's all I can think of.
Hope all is well with you guys! And the new website looks AWESOME by the way
