NC is hot!!!

Lately the highs have been in the 90's with a heat index of over 100. The past few days have been really bad. Thursday afternoon I went to the barn for a ride and I felt really bad. My trainer, Linnea, made my cousin go get my drink for me cause she thought I might pass out soon. So I still felt really bad so I got off a few minutes later. Then Friday my cousin and I went to Carowinds. We rode a ton of rides within 30 minutes. I got sick cause of the heat and I was dehydrated. This past weekend was okay. I stayed indoors so I was happy for the A/C. Then today was the start of the 2nd 7 & under camp at the barn. It was REALLY hot. When I got there I was already feeling nauseous. I went into the office to talk to the barn's owner, Kim, for a bit before going and helping Linnea. I got out and started talking to Linnea and she felt nauseous. Then Elissa arrived and she felt the same way. But we went on with the day. During the lesson the kids did good. One of the ponies in the pasture is known for galloping up the fence line and spooking lesson horses so Linnea was like "Christen, here comes Bella behind you." So I grabbed a hold of Tripp's halter just in time. Bella had skidded to a halt and Tripp saw her coming up fast. He dragged me like 4 feet so it wasn't bad. But then after the lesson was over we took the horses back to the barn and the kids unsaddled and then they went to the bathroom with Linnea while Elissa and I hosed the horses off. While we were doing this we didn't know but one of the kids with Linnea was getting sick. She had been crying in the bathroom then came out and said "I don't feel good." And so Linnea was starting to tell her that she'd feel okay after lunch when the girl puked. I had just walked out of the barn on my way to go get my water bottle which was at the ring when Linnea yelled to me, asking me to get Ashleigh's water bottle. I did but at this point I felt worse. I yelled out for Elissa to grab my water bottle then I went over to Linnea and the girls. On my way over there Linnea had noticed how my hand had gone from my side to infront of my mouth. She was like "Christen, why don't you sit down." I did and then I closed my eyes. That made the feeling get worse so Linnea told me to lay down. I did. Elissa came over with my water bottle. We stayed like this for a few minutes until Linnea asked us how we were. Ashleigh and I just layed there. So she sent the rest of the kids with Elissa back to the barn to have lunch and took me and Ashleigh to the office to get in the A/C. She told us to lay down. Ashleigh did right away but I hesitated. The office has dog hair everywhere!(The barn's owner brings her Welsh Corgi, Dooley everyday. And then we have Linnea's Austrailian shepherd, Maizie.) She turned to me and said in her "MEAN, SCARY, TRAINER" voice "Lay. Down." She also had a look on her face that if I didn't lay down then she'd do something that I wouldn't like. (For example, No riding or ground me... yeah my mom gave my trainer the right to ground me.) So obviously I did lay down. NOBODY messes with her when she uses that tone in her voice. It's like she's growling. She uses that voice with the horses, dogs, riders, etc. First she's nice then, she uses the "MEAN, SCARY, TRAINER" voice. She may be small but that also makes her a little bit scary. Anyway she left the office then came back asking if I was allergic to anything and I said no (With the exceptions being Morphine and chlorine). So she tossed me Pepto tablets that you chew. YUCK! I can't take that kind of medicine cause it will make me puke. And I said that to Kim so she took the tablets away and said that she'd give me the liquid instead. I waited a while before I took it because I nearly puked. Dooley (Whom I call Dools), the Welsh Corgi, thought this would be a good time to come up to us (Since we were laying down, we were finally at his height) and decided to start licking us. I squeaked then Ashleigh did too cause we weren't expecting this. Kim was like "Dooley! Leave them alone, they don't feel good." A while later Kim was going to take Ashleigh back to the barn since she was feeling better, but she was going to give me the Pepto first. Linnea came back just as Kim gave me the liquid. Her first words were "Uh oh." Cause around me I had a trashcan and paper towels and the pepto in my hand. Kim was like "Ashleigh is feeling better, Christen, not so much. So I had to take the medicine then wait a little bit before going back out to the barn. Linnea made me drink a ton of water. As soon as I'd finish the bottle she'd either say "Fill it up!" or she'd go fill it up. I'm so sick of water right now. But Linnea thinks I was really dehydrated. Thats why she was making me drink so much water. The sad part is I still feel bad. And I have to go back tomorrow and yeah... But after I came back to the barn I was talking to Elissa and she said Linnea is considering canceling lessons this week since it's so hot. But we have no official word yet. This is sad cause I normally get really bummed if any of my riding is canceled but I really couldn't care if it's canceled this week. Not if it's gonna be this hot out.
