New Saddles and Better Weather- Heck Yes.

I absolutely love the weather we’ve been having lately. It’s amazing. Period.

I brought Bear home from the trainer’s in Henderson last week, and I love having him right here in Owensboro for me to ride. We’ve been going on trail rides and jumping over logs. I also just got two new saddles, and they’re amazing. I love them, they are so insanely comfy, and they beat the saddles I have been using, which were like riding on a block of wood.

Swimming Outside..... In Winter?

That's right, I did it.
And by it, I mean the Polar Plunge. No- I'm not crazy, at least not completely. But I had an absolute BLAST. It was so amazing. The Polar Plunge is something I have always wanted to do, and it was for charity- I raised $100 for the Special Olympics, which made me feel awesome! Surprisingly, I wasn't scared at all to jump in 26 degree water, I didn't even hesitate or anything, I just did it. Though I will admit, it was a huge shock to my system as soon as I hit the water, the first thing I thought as soon as I was in the lake was "SWIM, SWIM" and so I swam for my life. My friend who I was jumping with swam in front of me and cut me off as I was trying to swim to one of the ladders, so I had to swim an extra couple feet in the freezing water. I had an amazing time though, and I'm totally taking the plunge again next year!

I took the plunge for Apollo and they only had a XXL to give me, so that's why it looks like I'm wearing a dress.
