Things have been good with Duncan lately. We had our first dressage show, which he did great in. He's had a little time off lately because of some back stuff, but the vet did some chiro on him and he has been good. There is also a horse here for training, River, that I have been riding. He's fun and sort of like Duncan.
Duncan and I have been liking to trail ride and have fun. I decided not to worry about showing this year, and we will pick it up next year. He is so young, and I wasn't feeling good about where he was training wise. If and when we show I want to be prepared and feel good about it. I want to do it right, not half ass. And dressage is not important to me right now. Eventually it will be, but for now we are doing other things and taking some time. And I am fine with it. We did our first schooling show at Hearts and Horses. We did intro b and c. We got a 67 in intro c and won the class, and a 63 in intro b and got third. They were okay rides, but the judge was generous. Duncan got around the arena, did not spook, and didn't leave. It was a good first show. And I was happy with it. But it made me realize I am not going into a show again until I feel ready.
 But I do want to get some stuff done so that we can do something when we go to college. Because Duncan and I are off to Houghton in August! I am so excited! Not so much for the school work part but for the horse part. It is going to be awesome to be training with an awesome trainer, and have so many girls my age who ride and are Christians. I am so excited for that. It is everything I love all in one. Should be pretty awesome.
