From testing my C2 to meeting incredible people in the equestrian world, it was a month filled with exciting opportunities and valuable lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spruce Meadows Masters<\/strong><br>Before jumping into the test, I had the chance to attend the Spruce Meadows Masters, which was such an incredible experience. The atmosphere was electric, with world-class equestrian athletes showing off their skills in show jumping. I loved soaking up the energy of the event and watching the pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cadence.jpg?resize=581%2C779&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cadence.jpg?w=581&amp;ssl=1 581w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cadence.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meeting Rachel from Candence Equine<\/strong><br>One of the coolest highlights of the Masters was meeting Rachel from Candence Equine. It was so inspiring to chat with her about her journey and what she\u2019s doing in the equestrian world. Her passion for the sport is contagious, and I\u2019m so excited to follow her work! You can check out her website <a href=\"https:\/\/cadenceequine.com?sca_ref=7115668.Fvpokn9HTH\">here<\/a>. I\u2019m definitely looking forward to seeing where her journey takes her next and to being a part of her growing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C2 Test Day<\/strong><br>One of the biggest milestones this month was testing my C2. To make sure I was prepared, I had the opportunity to ride Kiko, a lovely horse generously loaned to me by Danica. I can\u2019t thank her enough for allowing me to use Kiko for the test\u2014he was such a good boy, and having a steady mount really helped me stay focused. The test was challenging but rewarding, and I was proud of how well I did. It was a great step forward in my Pony Club journey, and I\u2019m excited to keep pushing myself further in the next levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kiko.jpg?resize=581%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kiko.jpg?w=581&amp;ssl=1 581w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nicolemarie.photo\/ainsley_lynn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kiko.jpg?resize=227%2C300&amp;ssl=1 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>September Wrap-Up<\/strong><br>All in all, September was a month that pushed me to grow and learn in both riding and relationships within the equestrian community.
