In mid-May, I took Teddy for an eventing clinic in Johvale. I had heard a lot about the place from the Pony Club kids. After every trip, the kids would tell stories of their ponies bucking them off and running for home. The location is high up on a mountain range. This clinic had 125 horses participating and the weather was cold and stormy. This is the perfect receipt for horses to be fresh and spirited. Teddy and I had a fun time despite the uncomfortable conditions, and now I have a story to tell. Teddy for the first time in 8 years tried to dismount me with consecutive bucks and crow hops on the way towards our group after a jump. I managed to stay on! My coach gave me a lot of support when I got home as I had to reset my nervous system after this harrowing experience. I won't post the video of Teddy going bronco as it's not helpful for me to watch it again. But here are couple of fun photos showing the beauty of the place.
