2011 Barn Holiday Party

Last night was the holiday party at the barn.  I took these videos of the kids setting up courses and jumping them. They were having great fun.

I recall “cantering” around the back pasture when I was about their age. Oh the joy of being young and so easily entertained.  

I really love this video of my daughter Nicole riding Tucker. She has so much fun riding with her girlfriends, Kayla and Lilah. They call themselves the PUFs which is short for pretty unbelievable friends.

I think that I might learn from the three of them and focus on just having fun riding and not so much on the end goal.  After all, the fun is in the getting there. It’s the journey, it’s the climb…

“Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb…”
