i called Hope yesterday, and we chatted like old friends. she inquired if i'd be going to florida next month for their clinic (God i wish!) but unfortunately i wouldn't have been able to anyway without my own horse..where are you?!

| he's a beaut |
however it turns out there happens to be a clinic in the summer in MAINE, of all places, where i'm from, and Hope informed me that i'd be able to borrow a horse there if i could make it. this sounds almost doable. it's really essential that i start going to these para-clinics so people start knowing who i am, and Hope said they're going to have to see how i ride etc, so they can gauge the type of horse that would be suitable for me. She also mentioned another clinic near Sacramento in the summer (at least it's the same state!) that would be a great one for me to network and all that good stuff.
it was a very positive conversation, and i am thrilled to pieces to have someone like Ms. Hand on my side in my quest for the big times! she inquired about my show experience, and helped me brainstorm several ways we could generate more publicity and interest in my journey. i have joined the USPEA website, http://uspea.org
which means that i'll be able to put information up there. basically, it was a great talk with Hope, and she always leaves me feeling upbeat and optimistic. like there's no reason i shouldn't make it on the team, if i just take the right steps!
