This has been tough on us. I had a few bad days but am thankful for my wonderful coach Tara. She is always so positive, and she has a quiet way of being the best supporter during lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opal and I had a great time chatting with the Vermilion Voice about my sponsorship with Lucy and our upcoming trip this summer; they even put us on the paper&#8217;s front page! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">January also means it is the start of a brand new year in Pony Club! Our club has grown by a couple of members this year, and I am really excited to welcome them and have them in our stable management lessons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_730F95D37BC5-1.jpeg?resize=403%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231\" width=\"403\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_730F95D37BC5-1.jpeg?resize=806%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 806w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_730F95D37BC5-1.jpeg?resize=236%2C300&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_730F95D37BC5-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C976&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_730F95D37BC5-1.jpeg?w=1125&amp;ssl=1 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the end of the month, I had the pleasure of visiting our local Rotary Club and giving a presentation on who I am and what my sponsorship with Lucy is like. Also, how the experiences I am having with Lucy and the things I will learn on the trip can be brought back to our community. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to go back in the fall and update them. I was especially glad I had brushed up on my Stable Management already this month, as some of the questions they asked were tough, and my SM had me more than prepared! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other things that I enjoyed this month were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katie held her first schooling show. It was actually postponed from before Christmas, so it was great fun to go all decked out in our ugly Christmas sweaters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my new friends from the Overbrook crew had a really big and important rugby tournament, so mom and I logged in and watched the game from home. It was so cool to watch her crushing the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love, Dolls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year, Friends!
