Proving herself as a showjumper

Aristo

I had stayed with Aristo the vet said she was getting better,she had moved and got up but she was still very tired, she was in a vet clinic which was the best place for her to get better, I continued competing as I needed the points I was ranked 2 in the world and very close to being first that's has been my dream and I was very close to. Nicola had been by my side, so had Kent I was very lucky to have such supportive people in my life. My parents had called and said hey could come and stay with me but I said i was fine since Nicola had stared at me for a couple of nights just so I wasn't by my self since I would think about Aristo to the point I wouldn't, sleep, eat or drink.

The vets had been sending me pictures every day of Aristo she was standing and be out in a little paddock torting around the place, she would soon coming home and I could not be happier.WEF had been great the other 4 horses won every class they could and showing that even with how good they were and were behaving better than older more experienced horses that made me even prouder of my little ponies.

the day Aristo came home

Aristo came off the truck she looked around and realized she was home, she seemed happy to see her friends, we turned her out she still didn't have the same energy but she was getting there. Once she tired herself out in her paddock, I gave her a bath and pampered her a little then put her in her stall to chill, the barn was quiet since over 12 horses were away competing so Aristo didn't have much to get excited or stressed. She just stood and chilled out which she never had done before. Harley and Bisquet needed to be ridden badly, they were turned out 9 hours a day but they still had extra energy while Halrye more then Bisquet. So I went and got Harley out his stall he seemed happy to see me as he knew he was going to be ridden. I put him in the cross ties and gave him a good groom, he looked pretty clean for a grey, then I went into the tack room, I picked up his saddle, saddle pad, girth, breastplate and then his boots since I planned on jumping him, once he was tacked up I went to my locker which was across from Harley put on my long boots and helmet ,I got his bridle on and we were off to the ring . Once Harley was warmed up we started with some basic jump work, my groom was helping to put jumps on and down,I thought it would be best to do some grid work which would make him think and would tire him out a bit more.

He did great and seemed to be happy that he got to be ridden, I untacked him and gave him a shower then I turned him back in his stall since it was hot and sunny outside. then it was Bisquet turn he was a lot more chilled horse, which was what I loved I did pretty much the same tacking routine with him, I worked on our striding to jumps and some other small things.
