Hey y'all, it's Saltadora. Before telling you why I'm blogging, let me tell you a little about me.
I've been riding for almost my whole life, but I've been taking lessons formally for about 6 years. I learned how to ride by taking trail rides in the mountains near where I live, and my parents bought me my first horse when I was 13. I have taken lessons and have shown in dressage, eventing, jumpers, and hunters, as well as Pony Club. My goal is to obtain my HA/A rating before I graduate, with a specialty in show jumping. I have shown an Arabian in open breed dressage shows and have even earned high point championships on one. I have shown up to novice level eventing and level 3 jumpers, all on an Arabian horse, and I have helped train and show a young horse in hunter classes. I am taking lessons with an instructor who has trained 2 horses to the Canadian Olympic team. In addition to climbing the Pony Club ladder, I also want to qualify for NAJYRC before I graduate. I would love to make the Olympic team one day, and I dream of breeding and training international-quality jumpers with Arabian bloodlines. I am a full-time high school student, and I make pretty decent grades. I also have a wonderful boyfriend, whom I intend on marrying one day. ;)
I'm making this blog to tell about the ups and downs of my horse experience, the show circuit, taking lessons, the horses in my life, and the wonderful (and not so wonderful) horsey people out there. I'm not an expert and I won't pretend to be in my blog, but I call them like I see them. All I can say is that I can't wait to start writing my blog, and I really hope y'all like it!
