weareescapingvelocity replied to your post “I had a real shit ride last night and I’m a 100% doing that thing...”

Trick is to just run really fast a big solid fences, then nerves go away over other stuff

Laura we can’t run at jumps at a dressage show. Otherwise, yes but add screaming.

Transformation Tuesday Looking at the progress @weareescapingvelocity made with Riley is incredibly motivational. I can’t wait to see what she what the future hold for her and Arrow!

Important Note About Me & My Friends

Me: Hufflepuff

Steph: Slytherin

Malin: Also a Huff, probably.

Laura: We have no idea, so watch out.

What did you think of Erika and Laura? You have gone on and on about Stephanie, but what about the other girls? Did you guys not get along?

Man, I forgot about how such nosy little shits you people can be sometimes. “Did you guys not get along?”- please reach farther, I want to watch you stretch bb.Erika is an absolute gem of a person. Admittedly we both actually didn’t talk to each other until meeting in person at Galway, but I did stalk her blog so like that’s the same thing right? She’s incredibly sweet and hilarious, I fell in with her very easily as she is just such a down to earth person that it would be literally impossible to not feel at ease with her. I felt quite an immediate bond with her because she was picking out all the chunks at Galway and oh my god I want a dumb chunk draft cross like her boy Finn so bad. I don’t know what I would do with one, but I want one. Part of what makes Erika really cool to hang with is that she’s a very knowledgeable rider. She’s very smart and getting to hear her commentary was just so refreshing, love actually getting to talk with people who know what they’re looking at! Also, like you guys- Erika bowls really well for someone trying to fuck up. Like it was absolutely unfair. She was hammer throwing that shit and getting 8 pins down. WHO DOES THAT?Laura is absolutely one of my favorite people in existence and I don’t think I can put into words how excited I was to get to spend time with her in person. I was never nervous about trying to be liked by her or surprised by who she was at all. She was one hundred percent the exact person I have already built a great friendship with and it just felt “normal” to be around each other. Almost like we’d already spent time in person despite that no being that case, that’s how natural it felt in person. She is the kindest most honest and sincere person I’ve met. She’s an utter crackup and her charm got us some free drinks at dinner. Laura’s just got a magnetic personality. She’s also just so freaking cute. Girl absolutely lights up any room when she smiles. Warm personality that just makes you feel good about things. As a rider, Laura is fantastic. She’s done so much with Arrow and I am so incredibly stoked to see her continue to progress with him. She’s such a technically minded rider and just freaking way gutsier than I am. There’s so much in the way that she rides that I am in awe of and get so much inspiration from. Watching her compete this weekend really made me want to kick my ass into gear. She’s one of my daily riding inspirations and finally seeing her ride in person just added fuel to that fire (my poor pony) that makes me want to do the most/best I possibly can. She did so brilliantly with the way she rode her cross country course, going double clear! I had one of the best weekends ever with all of these girls! Too many laughs were had and now we’ve got a bunch of stupid inside jokes that are hilarious to us and really dumb sounding to anyone else. I just wish we’d all had so much more time because going home just made me sad! All three were such fabulous and fantastic people to spend time with and I cannot wait at all to do it again sometime soon!!!

**Also Tumblr anons, just as a general note: your little “who do you like more”, “did you even like them”, “what are they really like” questions & games are really revealing. Clearly you are all very duplicitous by nature and two-faced to assume that I would not love the people I’ve already become friends with. I believe in building relationships on honesty and therefore know the people I befriend are bound to be as genuine with me as I am with them. If this an unreal concept to you then maybe you ought to reevaluate how you approach all relationships in your life.**

me, all of Galway: I mean, I still hate bonnets... but that one? That one I like.

My Laura :)You are one of those people I feel insanely comfortable with and know I can just be the purest version of myself without any judgement. You are a very selfless, loving, driven, and all around amazing lady who inspires me to be the best version of myself everyday. You’ve coaxed my out of bad moods, yelled at me, and made me laugh endlessly. One of the things I love about you is that it’s okay for you to be mad at me because you’re always willing to be upfront about it and even when you want to be left alone you humor my need to know if you’re still alive. The fact that we’re not all rainbows and sunshine is this amazing refreshing element of realness I have been missing out on.You are a stellar rider and what you’ve managed so far with Arrow is spectacular! Not to mention all the gorgeous work you’ve already accomplished with Riley. You have some insane fortitude riding as many horses you do everyday but holy damn you are so incredibly physically fit it just amazes me. Your ability to handle the workload you set for yourself is awe inspiring. I really don’t know how you do it, but I know seeing you manage your time so well as to do every little thing you do makes me want to try harder. I know you think I tease you sometimes, but I am honestly just frequently vying for President of the Laura Fan Club position and just love praising every new little positive attribute I learn about you (which includes those wicked biceps).Sometimes you make me sad when you don’t think you’re worth my time because honestly you are hands down one of the best, most honest, and worthwhile person I have had the pleasure of getting to know. You always have a place to stay if you need it and if you need me to fight someone I can always just fly down to you. I love our nearly daily phone calls and all the snaps you send me (even though I am really bad at remember to respond to them so much of the time). I want you to remember that as breathtakingly beautiful of a person you are on the inside, you are also a gorgeous person on the outside. You have this warm lovely smile, bright eyes, luscious hair, perfect apple cheeks, and an amazing strong body. You look good in anything.Not to mention your impeccable ability to put up with me periodically being this massive sap. I love you, you are one of my most cherished people, and I look forward to eventually furthering our friendship in person!
