pics





I feel like posting pictures. These are at least a few months old. I don't know how many years old some of them are. THe paint is Toby. The ribbons were from a barn show. THe green cart is me @ the local county fair where I showed goats for FFA. And one is me and my cousin, Avalon, leaving the water park. okay...so my computers being slow so i'm going to go and do something else. maybe clean tack...maybe not...

Rode again today

I rode today. I was suposed to ride Friday but we decided to go ahead a have my lesson today due to possible winter weather. Anyway, I used my new saddle. :) Linnea likes it and loves how my position is nearly perfect. It's weird considering I really haven't ridden much in the past year and yet the only thing i'm being fussed at about is my shoulders or simple thing like my thumbs or how my hands tend to rest in my lap. I go back to the barn on my birthday, 02/06! I'll be 17. I don't know if i'll ride that day, but we'll see. And Linnea said that in the next few lessons or so i might be able to canter. :)
I just need to learn to not be distracted by psycho cats. haha. Tripp was so good. I only had to remind him that I wanted a forward trot, not a pokey trot.

Busy week



This week is a busy one. Tomorrow starts exams. The exam i have tomorrow is for Physical Science. It shouldn't be too difficult. But anyway. Last Friday I was able to start riding again. I had a private lesson and I rode a 16hh paint named Tripp. I love him he is soooooo awesome. I should be to use my own saddle at the barn soon. I've just been waiting for my new stirrup leathers to come in. I go again on the 29th and then on my birthday (February 6th) I'm going with my trainer to a clinic :)

Wow 1st post of the new year.

And what a way to start this post other than almost falling out of my chair. Anyway. Exams are in a week : ( And I have to take all of mine since they are either state EOC's or State VOCATS exams. Three of them are going to be easy so i'm not worried about US History, Physical Science, or Animal Science 2. The one i am worried about is Algebra 2. I suck at it.

Next week i go to the doctor and see more about my wrist. hopefully he'll say i can ride this time. Last time he said no.
