Summer 2013

Wow I cannot believe how fast time is flying by this summer. It just seems like yesterday that I was coming back from Alaska with a blown ACL now it is September almost October I still don't have it fixed but plans to have it replaced are right around the corner.

To summarize some of the greater events of this past summer; first starting with a blown ACL when I went to go in for surgery I got a call that my father was not doing well so postponed surgery and went to California instead, I was there for his passing and I know that meant a lot to him.

Shortly after ceremonies for my father I was given an invite to go to Poland and compete in a European Colt Starting Championship. With no ACL I was definitely a little hesitant but decided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this doesn't come along twice so I better jump on it. Boy am I sure glad I did because I ended up winning the whole thing and now I'm invited back to Poland for three weeks in October to teach clinics all around the country. So stoked!

Surgery is now scheduled for when I get back from Poland and I sure am looking forward to surgery and rehab and being able to hit the slopes by January after a good lengthy rehab.

PS I will give a summary and details of competition in another post.

Play hard and be safe. Until next time,
Happy Trails,
