A small victory

Monday night saw my first ever horse jumping competition at Tullynewbank Stables. I had horses most of my childhood, but I never competed, as I'm just not that brave. So when I signed up a few weeks ago I wasn't entirely sure I would go through with it, but I did and I jumped all the fences without knocking any down. I did this in both my rounds and gained a double clear.

To say I was proud was an understatement and I got a rosette for my trouble. A truly cherished item.

Having faced a big challenge, I feel empowered. I have signed up for the next competition but it really is all about taking part.
