This is my riding journey for 2022. I have my 2021 riding journey also available here on Wattpad, which is complete at 69 entries. This chronicles my 2022 riding journey, I record my lessons with my trainer, post updates on my horse Shorty, write about recommendations, etc. In a way, this is an equestrian blog combined with a journal. Hope you enjoy! ALL PHOTOS USED FOR THE COVER OF THIS BOOK ARE MY OWN. DO NOT STEAL THEM.

Note: This book is the sequel to A Challenge, which is on my account, but can be read as a standalone. Cover designed by @Conejumper Vanessa Ireden is used to winning. She's a good rider, and has the best horses to do it. Medallion was supposed to be one of those horses, but the quirky mare has no intentions of doing so. For five months she frustrated Vanessa, so Vanessa decides she has no choice but to sell her. However, when what would have been her third win of the eventing season is stolen from her by a gray gelding called Challenger, and his rider, Tessa Wellen, her world starts changing. Intrigued by the gray gelding, Vanessa wants to buy him. But Tessa turns her down firmly, and Vanessa can't understand why, until she rides him herself and finds out the gray gelding is not as easy to handle as she thought. Her pride bruised, her confidence shaken, but her eyes open, Vanessa must make the choice to try again with Medallion. And if she does, to learn another way.

A collection of short stories that I wanted to put into words. Usually I receive them as daydreams, visions or nightmares. I express myself better in words rather than in speech so I write them out. Some of them I share here. I hope you enjoy them. **Note: None of these stories are edited...yet they came out close to perfect.

At one point in time, Hailey Love was both a competitor and a trainer in the equestrian world. She was a veteran in the all-around show circuit, which included both Western and English disciplines, but new to training and showing her own horses in those competitions. After an unfortunate jumping accident at a high-level show jumping competition that resulted in the death of her beloved horse and partner and what could have been (and quite possibly escalate to be) a life-changing injury, she vowed to never show in that area of competition again. For a little more than seven months, Hailey completely disappeared from the eyes of the equestrian world, as both a trainer and a competitor. Eventually, Hailey returned to her home town, and home barn, to try to start over and heal from what remains of the wounds she suffered, whether they be physical or not. But what will occur when someone shocking appears before her, asking for her to train him for the upcoming show season? Reference for Competitive Horse Show Rules AQHA Executive Committee.
