Will have a full post later but one of the former students (first families to actually 'pay me' to ride their horse) youngest daughter had a great go in the novice trail and is in the finals! I'm so happy and excited for her!
This family started riding at the barn where I worked, and I helped them buy there first horse (they often admired him so when I heard that the original owners *might* be thinking about selling, I let the family know.) They paid me a little extra to ride there horse on the weeks they couldn't get there, which was a big help financially for me at the time, and he was a very broke horse which helped my riding. The younger daughter liked horses but didn't have much interest in riding. Over the years as she developed more interest they purchased a horse that I broke out as a 2 yo for her to show (he was 5 when they bought him). Both of those horses are semi-retired now and the two girls share one horse to show. From the little shy girl that she was, I'm so happy to see her dreams coming true.

Love stories like this. How wonderful that you were part of them realizing their dreams and they were part of your life in helping you realize some of your goals.
