I love my mom... haha tonight my mom watched me jump my horse... I was jumping decent-size jumps and some of the kids from the barn were setting them up for me so they could watch...and I jumped this one roud and it wasn't perfect, but I made it without knock downs or refusals and the kids [who are all pretty good riders] were freaking out because they hadn't really seen anyone jump that high in person...and then I rode up to my mom to see what she thought... "Dana, what happened over the first jump?" -"He chipped in, I screwed up the striding". -"Oh, yeah it looked like you messed up. Did he break his stride between the 2nd and 3rd or did you make him trot?" -"I made him trot because he was one the wrong lead". -"Oh, that's what I thought". ...The demand for perfection is great in the Groop household. My mom, by the way, has ridden a horse maybe 4 times in her life. My Lord, hahaha-Seriously I love her to death. |
