The Story I Tell, First Iteration

Saddle seat was always meant to be a temporary fix.

Coach Courtney has known this from the beginning. [Suiting Up] 2013

“If I could jump, I’d drop y’all like a bowl of warm potato salad.” [Conflicts] 2017

debandtoby asked: “With all this saddle seat riding, do you think you’re going to get back to hunter shows or eventing?” My response: “I would drop saddle seat in a heartbeat if I had a horse to jump.” [Getting Ready For Showing, comments] 2024

Whenever I say this, Coach Courtney simply smiles and tells me when the next show is.

She is not wrong.

The Story I Tell, Second Iteration

Awhile back, I was at the barn. Someone asked that since I did different disciplines, which was my favorite?

I gave my standard answer. Potato salad.

Then I ended with – as always I do – that Coach Courtney knows this and just tells me when the next show is.

As I was saying “… when the next show is”, Coach Courtney walked by. She added, ” … and I’ll see you there.”

She is not wrong.
