The tale of my path with Vanessa continues. For those of you that remember hearing about my previous horse show you know that it didn’t go well and that my horse Vanessa and I, had multiple refusals and I suspected her ulcer was to blame.
Having come up with a better ulcer treatment plan I was hopeful that this show would be better. However, the show again began with us being eliminated from the jumper ring after Vanessa, in a very bratty way, refused again. The difference is, this time she was jumping well, felt great and proceeded to go back into the warmup ring and jump 3’9” with no problem. I knew the problem was mental and decided I would need to be more aggressive in my attempt the next day.
Success! The next day was much better and I believe we are now on our way to being able to progress and move up to competing at the next level.
