Fourth Episode - USET Finals
The fourth episode was based on the USET Finals as I'm sure you all saw last week. The first day the weather was horrible! It was freezing and we were lucky the footing wasn't too bad since it is the only outdoor finals in the fall. That was a really good show for me because after the first day I was called back in 10th. My gymnastics round was really good, but as usual I think I was hurt a little on the flat. I have a really beautiful horse that really stands out, but I remember hearing from my trainers that I wasn't trying to stand out as much as I usually do - I didn't show the extremes they were looking for in the different gaits. The second day I was determined and my jumping round was really good and I was able to clinch a spot in the final 4 which has always been one of my goals. I had really good rounds on 3 horses and on maggie's horse I tried to leave out a stride to the last jump because I was thinking about the time allowed too much and ended up pretty much going through it. It was a disappointment, but I knew it was my fault and plus I was just so happy to be in the final 4.
This week I'd assume that it would be a combination of Harrisburg and Washington horse shows, leaving the last episode to the Maclay. Please feel free to leave me comments and I'd be happy to respond to any questions you have.

Natalie,
I think that you are an excellent rider, and show terrific talent and ability. I will be starting college this fall, and hope to still continue to ride and show the rated circuit with my new horse just as you are.

Hi, I was just wondering how many years you have been riding, and how long it has taken you to get to this level of riding. I have a 28 year old TB he does hunters and jumpers. He is amazing still he can clear 4 ft. jumps with no trouble. I love him dearly, but I know I will need a new horse soon. Anyway, how many horses do you own? Was it hard for you to part with them?
Please email me at: popcornequus@aol.com
thanks,
Hannah & Ghost

Natalie,
you're a great rider. It was great to see an insider's view during a horse show. I have two horses that I show, and hope to do the Mclay one day on the one that I trained myself since the day he was born.

Dear Natalie,
You are very lucky to ride in the shows you do and have the horses that you have. You are a hard worker to have come this far and be as good as you are. I myself have shown in the A circuit and know as well how much fun it can be. Good Luck with your future carrer in riding. -Lauren

Hi Natalie,
You are an awesome rider. I used to ride at a stable, but my horse just died and we don't have money for another right now. Do you have any tips on jumping so maybe I could get another job? Thanks!

You are such a great rider! I ride horses but I'm not that good. I'm ten years old and I have a horse named Shiloh. He is awesome. You are an amazing rider!
