grateful for this amazing horse <3 |
Personally I'm not a big believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason... But things sure do have a way of happening. And like it or not, we all have to find a way to keep moving forward. This year, for me, was a year of forward momentum.
My plan is to pull together at least some variation of a recap summary of all the highs (and lows) in an upcoming post or series of posts before the year closes. Hopefully haha, bc let's be real -- those posts can be a real bear to write!! They're often worth it tho. Personally, I love reading them on other blogs, and love reliving my own too.
epic compilation video here!!! play with sound ON!!
For now, tho, I'm starting with my

And for shits and giggles, since it's a Friday anyway, here are the compilation videos from years past too. I love these videos so so so much. And it's so important for me to look back and remember what felt like a solid WIN back in 2014, for instance. The bloopers tho... ahaha, obvi they never get old either ;)

I always look forward to your complication videos :) I still get a knot in my stomach watching him half jump and get stuck over that xc jump. Its been an amazing journey for you and Charlie.
ReplyDeleteHa I’m glad you like them! I have maybe a little too much fun making them lol... tho yea agreed about that moment when Charlie got stuck on the coop at plantation. Honestly that was the moment when I was making the stand alone blooper reel when I realized ... eh mayyyybe this is too sad for me to be a “funny” video and that it needed the good moments side by side to balance it out ...
Deletethat first picture is so fucking magestic i can hardly even
