This is it.... I am down to my last few days with Faith. I am so sad to let her go. I absolutely adore her, and I know in my heart that she will be a spectacular horse some day. We have done our best to expose her to as much as possible. She's had such a great start. I wish things were different, and I could keep her.

I have put several of the pictures that document our journey together on photobucket. You can see them here:

I have decided not to ride Faith in the competition. I will only show her in hand. Although it makes me feel like a failure (in a small way), I do believe it is the right thing to do. I am terrified that she will throw a tantrum and ruin her chances of finding a good home. I would rather be honest with potential adopters and tell them she has been started under saddle, but she still has a long way to go.

I have totally enjoyed this process and have no regrets. I hope to someday participate again in a future EMM event (with the full 100 days). Good luck to all of the people competing in the upcoming makeovers.
