Freestyles here we come!

Hello!

Well we made it on to the next round as the jumpers would put it!!
Today seemed like a long day of waiting to ride and then managing the show nerves as well! At 12:30pm I finally was getting ready to get on and head over to the warm-up ring! My warm-up was fantastic and Albrecht was thrilled with it! I felt a little bit more nervous today than Wednesday but I felt confident about the way things were going! When I got into my test Stentano was feeling great but he just seemed to have a little bit more oompapa than in the team test. I tried to use that to my advantage but in the canter he clearly expressed his excitement in the changes! We lost quite a few marks in that which really brought my score down but I could feel the potential in the ride today with how the energy and power will come to my advantage in the future! We ended up with 64.211% which just squeaked us into the freestyles as we tied for the 15th position and the top 15 move forward! WOW!! It was very exciting to see Esmee and Norseman in the top ten placing 5th and Sarah Lowen from Ontarion placing 10th!!! Congratulations to them and all of the other juniors today!
I am super excited tomorrow to show off my slumdog millionaire music put together by Karen Robinson! Tomorrow is a new day and we will take what we have learned thus far! My ride time is 2:08pm tomorrow so hopefully the heat may become useful in calming both Stentano and I!!
Sorry I have to make this one quick because I need to hit the bed soon and go over my music a few times tonight to begin the freestyle mindset!!

Monica and Stentano
