In recent months, Catie has seen ups and downs in her riding career...including many BIG changes. Most recently, we have moved Catie to a hunter/jumper barn. This was following a bad fall in which Catie was thrown from Miss Blue after being spooked and taking off at a gallop. Catie was willing and ready to try again with Miss Blue just a week after her accident but was unable to do so with the instructor she was riding with. This prompted us to try and find somewhere for Catie to ride and move forward with her goals...mainly jumping. We found a little barn by the name of Fairy Tale Farm and things there have worked out for the best for Catie. She has been able to take the good foundation that she had built with the Masters and work with another instructor and start jumping! I can't describe the emense pride that fills my heart as I watch my daughter grow as a person. Part of that growing has been watching her get thrown, fall off, pushed around, and have her heart broken, only to watch her push back with more determination in order to reach her goals. So Catie jumps! She loves it and I love watching her do it!
