Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway

She's coming.

Today.

I'm freaking out.

Scared.

Thrilled.

Hopeful.

I took this chance, please let this be wonderful.

Welcome "Little Bear".

Your excitement and fear are infectious. Wow! You must be on the edge of your seat!

I hope everything works out for you :)

My Quotes:

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A good horse is worth more than riches."
- Spanish Proverb

"Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway"
- Susan Jeffers

RIDE FOR HER!
Somewhere behind the rider you've become,
The trainers who pushed you,
The people who believed in you,
The long hours of schooling,
The falls you've taken,
The ribbons you didn't win,
The tears and broken bones,
And the horses you've given your heart to,
Is the little girl who fell in love with the sport
And never looked back.
Ride for her!
