I'll Remember it for the Rest of my Life

I know it has been a little while before I posted but I was holding off just so I could post this. Over the weekend I went out of town with my mom and my aunt to go to my first horse expo. But that isn't the exciting part of it (okay, well, yes, it is an exciting thing!) The highlight of it was that... I MET CHRIS COX*!!! Yes, it is true, I met my horse training idol! I wanted to keep it a surprise for everyone, so, I hope you're all surprised!

I was gone for the whole last weekend and will remember it for the rest of my life. When we arrived at the expo area my stomach already started to churn, I saw his huge trailer parked out front and thought "oh my gosh, he is actually here!" We all went inside, received our bands and started looking around. The place was huge, so huge that it took us a few minutes to actually find the main arena (where Chris was performing) and his booth. When we got on the right path we first saw the arena where all the performances were going to be, we stopped and observed. I gazed around at the huge place when my eyes suddenly glanced to my right, I took it in for a moment but then looked at a group of people chatting with one another (for odd some reason) and suddenly realized one of those people were him, Chris Cox! My feet became frozen, my stomach started buzzing, and my hands started becoming clammy. My mom inched me along towards him (me being scared out of my freaking mind) and when we got there we waited until he had a minute. Finally when people stopped talking to him he turned to us and my mom introduced us, I shook his hand but then all of a sudden I started crying gave him a hug (he gives great hugs by the way) and then he said "let's get a picture" and barely being to say anything I said "yes" then afterwards my mom talked to him a little bit because at that moment I had a talking problem. He was such a nice person (much nicer than you would expect) and 100% deserves all of his fame.

After that emotional yet exciting moment we watched his demonstrations which were incredible, he even started a three year old filly in an hour and a half, with a halter, leadrope, saddle, and pad. If you haven't seen him in Road to the Horse or his TV show I highly recommend it, he is very talented. I really hope he comes back again.

I also bought one of his halters, I love it! I used it on Ava yesterday and it is really nice, much better than my cheapy old one.

Now that you have read all of that you can now look at some photos I took.
