Really, crowing about this is bizarre for someone who thinks she has Olympic hopes.
I’m an old lady with little interest in showing at all, certainly no Olympic aspirations. I consider myself a competent but unexceptional rider with a nice but unexceptional non-WB horse. I recently started lessons with a well-respected “S” judge, and about five minutes into our first lesson she said, “You have your bronze, right?” I said I didn’t, and her response was “WHY?”
I told her I don’t show, and she laughed and said, “Neither do I any more.”
I guess the point is that if you’re a good student, you are conscientious, show up for your lessons (as I have for years and years), work hard, and show up at the shows, a bronze isn’t at all out of your reach.
If you are none of those things, and you’re more interested in taking naps than in bettering your riding, getting halfway there is, in your world, something of an accomplishment.
