I’ve been going to Camelot since 2011 — I’ve been so many times that I thought it would be fun to compare some media from my many shows there.
Dressage centerlines
june 2012 — check out that velvet helmet cover and horrifying braids! with the lovely Quincy
july 2015 — first rated show!
2017 – the final centerline since we cantered the first one!
2018 – I swear I was smiling just seconds before this!
Dressage tests
2012 – the definition of cherry picked! I only kept 3 pictures from this dressage test.
none of them were cantering!
2015 – the lean was fierce!!! this test scored a 39 — I was over the moon
2015 – canter leaning on point
june 2017 — aww look how cute he’s getting! still doing some weird shit with my torso though.
2017 – canter work was full of strugz
2018 – outfit on point, sideways lean almost eliminated!
no canter pics from 2018 again! oh well.
Cross Country
I pulled together a collection of schooling and showing pics for XC comparison. I thought there’d be more cross over between the various fences, but there wasn’t.
2012. holy long spot, quincy! murray could fit at least three more strides in there before taking off!
2012. camille, before she got a face lift!
2015. this is Murray’s patented “slither” move.
2015 schooling like rather a juggalo here
2017 – we actually jumped the purple roll top this time!
2017 – I had originally thought this blue bike rack was the same as in the massive long spot above, but it isn’t!
2018. turns out i still climb my horse’s neck on occasion!
2018 – camille again! the previous section pictured is just to my left in here — by her tail.

Stadium Jumping
2012 – this is the fence where I screamed “dickhead” because I made Quincy runout. sorry Q, I was definitely the dickhead there.
2012 – these BN fences look soooo tiny!
There were no 2015 stadium pictures, of course, as I was eliminated. But look! There are some bonus pics from Murray going intro in 2014 instead!
2014 – little baby murray!!
2014 – this is when i started to get serious about my outfit. is till own and wear this shirt!
2014. what even is happening here, murray?
2017 – enter the rainbow grab strap!
2017 – and the hanging knees. some things never change.
2017. what a curiously familiar takeoff point that is, Murray…
2018. LOL those knees.
2018 – this seemed rather an unnecessarily big effort.
2018 – same knights as above!
So cool that you have media from the same place spanning 6 years!

I was pretty delighted at the progress I saw when putting them together. I originally just wanted to compile pics of the same xc fences but this ended up kinda cool!

The final picture for all three phases are all gorgeous! So nice to see the hard work and daily grind pay off!
