Sorry i haven't posted!!


I've been working at my barn's summer riding camps. I'm there from 9am-4pm ,Monday-Friday unless there is a special circumstance like I have a riding lesson or I have to leave early for something, like a doctors appointment.

Anyway, I've been too tired to get on the computer lately. By the time i actually get home it's dinner time and all I want to do is take a shower and go to bed. But no, I have to eat, take the dog for a walk, play with the dog for a while, take a shower, then finally i can go to bed. But anyway, this past week was youth camp. We only had 4 kids but still they were exhausting! We used Daisy, Jazz, and Tripp out of the barn's horses. One camper brought her mule, Rawhide. That camp ended yesterday with a horse show. After most of the campers left, Me, Linnea, and Elaine went with the campers that were still there to the owner's office so we could be in the A/C for a little bit.Linnea had me sing the K9 Advantix song to the owner. Then at 4ish Elaine and I went to go get ready to ride. Elaine was going to ride around and i had a lesson. But first Linnea had to teach a 30min lesson to Lillian who is 6ish... I was tacking up and i had gone to get my saddle after putting my saddle pad on Red. Elaine heard Lillian say "I like that pad!" It's a yellow and pink tye dye english pad. I use it almost every time. But anyway,Elaine rode Jazz and I rode Red. In my lesson Linnea asked me what i wanted to work on and I said jumping cause I hadn't done it in a while.So she said okay and I started my warm-up. Linnea was happy when I had to post without stirrups at the walk cause she could see that my legs had gotten stronger. But later I was going around and I went over the jump and she got a little peeved cause my jump position wasn't how she'd like it. ANd I was tired at this point. So she was like "I'll give you a break and let you walk. But...you have to be in jump position to the count of 10." In two directions I had to do this and if my position wasn't perfect I had to start over with counting. Then when I jumped again Linnea was like "I want to be able to actually see your butt! Moon Elaine!" I was like "What!!!!?" and Elaine was like "Excuse me??!!" She replied with "Hunter girls moon people and smile doing it!" So yeah...after each jump she'd be like "Okay you mooned the barn but you didn't moon the bleachers and there is no one there!!!!" Gotta love my trainer...but at times, I really wonder why I chose to do hunters.


This coming week i sort of have a week off... I haven't decided if i'm going to go ride or what. We'll see.
