In real life, I showed Arabian horses in western pleasure up to the national level for over seven years. It was the best experience I've ever had and hope to one day be able to afford it on my own. I am a young adult so please get permission before contacting me if you're underage.
Here's
to show days: early mornings, long days, late nights, truck rides,
hotel rooms, learning courses, warmups, sunburns, rope burns, countless
hours of practice, taking the fall, bruised egos, determination,
shavings/hair/hay stuck in your hair and clothes, thousands of dollars,
your show team, your trainer, your partner, the drama, hurrying up and
waiting, show clothes, competition, missed classes, expectations, blue
ribbons, laying down the perfect trip... and most of all, our sport,
RIDING.
-Stacia Sullivan
You are a great champion.
When you ran, the ground shook
The sky opened and mere mortals parted.
Parted the way to victory
Where you'll meet me in the winner's circle
Where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.
