Winning Is Everything

I can't believe I actually fell off Wings! At an event... in front of judges... losing to Riley, a know-it-all rider I really wanted to beat.

All winter long, almost every single day, Wings and I had jumped and practiced dressage on our homemade cross-country course on my aunt and uncle's farm. I don't understand how he messed up, but I have to make sure it doesn't happen at our next major event. And if that means practicing from sunup till sundown, that's just what we'll have to do to win.

When we're on our game, I know Wings and I can totally beat Riley and her horse any day of the week. We'll show everyone.
