Aren't youu afraid that you aren't doing a lot with Arrow? Like, aren't you going to fall behind? There are other riders on here like Otteventer and 4starfuture and showoffsmom who all have young TB eventers that are already competing and you haven't even jumped yet. Is it because you aren't as brave? Just curious.
Haha thanks for the question but no, I am not worried :) Otteventer, 4starfuture, and showoffsmom are all fantastic eventers that are doing great things with their green horses and I can't wait to see where they go in the future! However there are a few differences between those horses and Arrow, the first being, Arrow is 3, while he is smart and wonderful he is still very much a baby second being, he is just about to hit 17hands. Bigger horses take longer to mature physically. My trainer and I are set on not putting him over fences until later in his 4 year old year. Also, Arrow is not my emphasis right now, I ride him and work with him but his job right now is to basically grow up. My priority right now is Riley who is in the process of making the jump to Prelim, so more of my time and energy is being put there. I am not afraid of Arrow, on the contrary he is probably the most mellow 3 year old I have ever had the pleasure to sit on, he hacks out in groups and alone and always very willing :)
