Without it, I don’t know what I will do [Good bye California]

November 14th, 2011

[Anything successful is a series of mistakes]

Well this is it guys,
I’m leaving for college this Friday and with that I am leaving so much behind. Marco is going to be staying home until I can find a place/way to ship him out to Louisiana. Just thinking about me being away from him a month is the worst feeling in the world. This last summer was the most amazing summer. I did so much with my friends and did so manny things I never thought I would be able to do in one summer, but with that I feel like this was the greatest summer I had had with Marco. I have been working on this video since the beginning of summer, which was when Marco was injured and it was a really tough time for me not being able to ride, but with that I learned to appreciate my horse so much more. I spent more time worrying about my horses well being then not being able to show( I did not compete in one show the entire summer) and even though I couldn’t show , I was still happy being around my horse and it seemed like he was happy just hanging with me (cause Im such a cool cat). And then these last few weeks of being able to ride him have been beyond incredible. I’m going to miss him so much and all my friends and family as well.

On another note this video was the most effort and meaning I had ever put in a video before. I had spent so much time editing this and making sure it was putting across exactly what I was feeling. In the end I feel like this video sums up my time on youtube as SSoftballProduction and my exprience in the horse world. I have always been asked why I ride, why do i want to keep riding. Saying I will never become anything in the horse world or on youtube, but it didn’t bother me. Riding horses and making vids are “the blood that pumps through my veins.” I love it and wouldn’t want to change it so I “took on the world” and I believe you “should do it atleast once in your life time.” And above all “Anything successful is a series of mistakes” is a quotes I live by. I believe I hav e made so many mistakes in my life but I’m hoping that with college that it will bring me success in the future in my career and I also hope that you guys learn something from it. Follow your heart, do what you love, and dont ever let someone tell you you cant do something. Period. Work toward your goal and make yourself happy when you accomplish it. I will leave it at that, but just know that you guys have been the greatest group of supporters ever. I love everyone of you that watch my videos, and subscribe I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. And I mean that. Love you all and hope I can continue to make videos in Louisiana. Later guys.

Oh and to be the pain in the ass…I WORKED MY OFF WITH THIS AUDIO! I WILL KNOW IF YOU STEAL IT AND I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN! :)

on the longest night.

August 27th, 2011

*please read*
no audio owned.
i was just feeling a little down this evening when i decided to make this. samson and i had a pretty bad fall on sunday.
he is 100% fine, i got the worst of it.

all of these clips are brand spankin’ new! basically i can’t ride my horse but he’s amazing and puts up with me anyway. the clip of me going into the water jump is literally seconds before i came off, unfortunately not on film.

jumped him today even though my head is a bit weird, and he went amazingly amazing. he is such a star.

connor is in the blue and rode him aswell, samson jumped so well for him.
there’s lots i want to say, but this upload has gone too fast! curse you speedy internet!

sometimes everything can seem to pointless and so hard, but you just have to take the good with the bad, dust yourself off and start again. pick up the pieces and use as much sticky tape as possible to fix it. because this is all i can do. i’m not going to walk away, neither are you. i promise i will learn to ride you properly, some day, and get the best from you that other people can. i am sorry that i let you down so much, i make you look like a fool and hide all of your amazing talent. you deserve so much better but you’re stuck with me. it’s okay fat pony, i will someday become the rider you deserve.
words cannot describe the love i have for this horse.
love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Overcoming All Obstacles] Brandywine Valley Horse Trail Ride with Gam and Bay 8/10/11

August 27th, 2011

“To succeed you must first improve, to improve you must first practice, to practice you must first learn, and to learn you must first fail.”
-Wesley Woo

I can Identify with that quote! This trail ride was an experience! I took the boys out on pretty much Identical rides through the Brandwine Valley. I was hoping for a nice calm and peaceful ride, but Bay had other plans. He decided to argue over a puddle, of all things! I stood my ground, and he decided that I was right after all… I usually am :D Gam was awesome as always, Bay is just a little slower to catch on, but I love him just the same. Thumbs up for rescue horses!

Have you guys ever had to deal with something like this?! How did you overcome your obstacles? Let me know in the comments, I love to hear from you.
