Yesterday I jumped my first Grand Prix back after 8 YEARS! 🤩

Kaytaro and I had only competed in 3 classes together before this, but we decided to give it a go.
It was far from perfect and I wish I rode the first half with the confidence I rode the second half - but we put in a respectable round and I know what to fix for next time. If only we could have a do over 🤣.
This is why we always stay hungry and working hard in this sport !

It was special for my 3 kids to come watch Mommy show in the big ring 🥰🥰🥰 they thought I was pretty cool after that 🤣

A big thank you to J.f. Gagne for stepping in to help me while Shawn was at Harrisburg, and my Oakmore Equestrian team 💜who I could never do this without.
I have endless gratitude to Charles and Andrea Belofsky for giving me this opportunity 🙏🏼

And to the amazing Kaytaro - thank you for making me believe in myself again 💜💜💜

This won’t be the last time you see me here !!
