CHJA is special to me because it encourages many people of all abilities to be a part of the Colorado horse showing community. There is a huge age range from kids or adults at their first horse show to people competing for more than 4 years. When I started showing in CHJA almost 3 years ago, it was really cool to go to a show and hangout with all my barn friends and watch them compete in the higher divisions and now I enjoy getting to know the trainers, horses and other competitors in the circuit. Although I didn't place, they inspired me to keep at it and dream about being the best rider I could be and know that someday I would be in the 3-foot ring. It is also fun to see the same riders, horses, and trainers at multiple shows and watch them progress in there own individual ways. |

CHJA is special because of the close knit communities and all of the great people you get to know. Everyone supports one another. |

CHJA means a lot to me, because it’s where I can see improvement between me and my horse. When I first started CHJA 2 years ago with my first horse, Polarize, we were a mess and didn’t seem like a good team. The next year in the beginner juniors, I was champion/reserve champion in the overall point placement until Polarize got hurt, and I had to stop showing him in July. Now, this year, I’m entering the juniors with a fancy green hunter that I hope to improve on just as much as I did with Polarize, in both eq and hunters. Along with the horses, CHJA gives me memories that I will cherish, and moments with my friends that I wish I could relive. CHJA is very special to me, and I hope will remain special to me throughout my last few years of highschool. |
