Good news
It is September the 5thand Maile went through the vet examination today. This is a trot up that all competitors horses must do. The vets inspect the horse in the walk and trot to make sure they are 100% sound. We have been worried about this inspection as Maile has a mild string Halt. I am happy to say that she passed and has been given permission to compete.
As well the Canadian team was named today, we have 5 riders and only 4 are aloud to compete in the team portion of the competition. All 5 will get to do their individual test. Since Maile has been so sick I was not certain if we would be named to the team, well and I am happy to say we were named to the team today.
SO I have one more day to prepare Maile, oh my......no stress about now.....how does 4 years of thinking about Beijing 2008 turn into counting the hours.....it really is amazing how time fly's. I wish I could get many lost moments back and use them more wisely.
To be honest I have felt very numb over the past week, not wanting to think about what could be or how this week would end. With it all being so close I now feel like Im ready to explode.
Your an inspiration Lauren, congratulations to both you and Maile!!!
