Welcome!

Well, this is the official introductory post of my very first blog. Hooray! It's gonna be a little long to start things off, I have a years worth of back story to write, but I'll do my best to make it as quick and painless as possible.

My name is Emily and I have an eventing addiction. Whew. Feels good to say that out loud. It started as it always does, with a little girl's love of horses. I'm pretty sure I asked for one for every major (and minor!) holiday from the moment I had my first pony ride at probably about 3. Years went by, and I still asked. I also did some things my current trainer would KILL me for, like getting on strange horses in pastures while the owners weren't home. Without a helmet. In the middle of no where. Oopsies ;) Finally, at the age of 11, I was lucky enough to have my very first riding lesson! It was all down hill from there. Over the next few posts I will continue to give the brief back ground of how I got to where I am today. Hopefully competing in my first recognized BN horse trial by the end of fall. Stay tuned, there will be more than one post a day. Basically as many as I can fire out to get us up to the current place and time.
