TENNIS ONLY MEMBERSHIPS "When I go to Colombia I‘ll have no clue of what I‘m going to get, maybe it will be a horse who won‘t jump or maybe it will be a nice horse," said Schnurr But the one advantage she "It something I learned from riding." "It‘s so much easier to do a long jump after 1 ride because I can see where 1 am," said Schnurr, who laughs at what the horses would think of her jumping . "All the other kids have to take the little tiny steps until the jump, where I can just go. And all that show jump training has had an unexâ€" pected side effect. It helped her qualify for gradeâ€"school long jump_championships, although she wasn‘t as sucâ€" cessful at it as she is at show jumping. "At least at Calgary I can ride my own horse," said Schnurr, who has formed a close bond to her special guy. Schnurt is looking to use the Colombian event as warmup to another internaâ€" tional event at Spruce Meadâ€" ows in Calgary later this year, where she can bring Wesley and put her best foot, or, in this case, hoof forward. "You can hide things," said Schnurr, who won her latest show competition this past weekend. "I‘ve been told that one of my qualities as a rider is if the horse is acting up I can hide it." And she finds it funny that she seems to get along better with the boy horses versus the girls. The males of the species just seem to be more laid back or more willing to work with the rider, whereas the girls are a little more high strung at times. But she seems to manage regardless. "She always been good at adjusting," said mom Sue, who serves as one of her daughter‘s coaches in addiâ€" tion to her main coach Scott McKay. "She can get on something and feel it, she can sense what it‘s going to do." ~ be like." "I‘ve been doing it so long that I‘m used to that now," said Schnurr about figuring out a horse‘s personality. "I can feel what they‘re going to has is she is so in tune with horses that she can get a feel for them after a short time on their backs. She admits to playing psychologist with some of her more temperaâ€" mental mounts, but really she tries to be a friend to them.
