So I had my lesson yesterday, and when we cooled out, Grace asked me to come over to her. I thought she was mad at me because she had heard me say that I sometimes jump 2'3" in practice rides, when we only jump 18" ! BUT NO!!!!! :D She said "How do you feel about moving up to Intermediate B?" (I'm in Intermediate A right now) and I just stared at her and said "YES!!!" So now my lessons are on Monday at 6:30pm instead of Friday at 5:30! Whoop whoop! :D :) xD

Okay so lately when I ride Lady she is a butt-munch. Like, I'm lucky if I get her to trot. I am almost positive that the prpblem is that the summer camp wore her out. It wears all the horses out!! So when I am acually leasing her, in the fall, I am hoping she will be better!!! Because she won't be as tired!! But yeah just wanted to say that. Byez!

So today I went to the barn as always to side walk the little kids. My mom said she wanted a picture of me and Lady so I was like okay. I went to put my stuff in the lounge and she was reading the board that has lot of news from the barn on it. I came out of the lounge and she was like Claire, come here. I was like What? She pointed to the list of people who lease the school horses and I was like Ummmmmm..... so I read it and at the bottom I see Lady's name. I'm thinking, "Oh. Somebody is leasin…

I went down to catch Lady and didn't see where she was. So I call out "Lady?" and I see her!! She poked her head up, took a moment to look me over, and trotted up to me with her ears up!!! Then she saw the halter and put her head practicaly IN it!!! I was like "Awwww you love me!!!!!" Now, I was in the field alone, but all the horses were eating so I felt fine. Me and Lady start walking up to the barn. When we get to a part where you have to put down part of the electric fence, Lady reared up a…

My best friend is beautiful. Tall, gentle, caring. Bay, a mare, with brown eyes. Brown mane and tail. And her name? Lady.
The week when Lady came, I didn't know about her. Then one Saturday when I went for sidewalking, I saw a girl assigned to a horse named "Lady" on the board. I asked Annalee "Who is Lady?" And she simpley said " The new school horse!"
At first, I just thought
Oh, cool. A new horse. Yay. But then practice ride rolled around. I wanted to be one of the first to ride this n…

They numbed me, so I was fine, but it turned out that I had 2 rotten, infected teeth, and that my gum was GROWING OVER THEM!!! ew, i look at the holes, and it is SO GROSS. I had to hold a gauze ball in my mouth, to clot up the blood!!! It's been like 2 1/2 hours...and I can still hardly feel my mouth on the left!! I was eating a milkshake (the dentist TOLD ME TO!!!!)…

Horses,
We morph into one. Whether it be soaring over jumps, perfecting fancy moves, or turning tightly around barrels. We come. And when we come; we come, with excellence.
But why? Why did we choose you to give us the grace we will never have? The wings we want, but will not be granted? Because you are genius. You have power. You have beauty. You have elegance. The power, beauty, and elegance that we will never have.
Horses. We love you.

So first I (of course or I wouldn't have been allowed to ride) sidewalked the little kids. Now time for
riding!!
I rode Smidget, a sorrel mare. She had a very nice trot, and a smooth canter!! I jumped her a couple of times and she was very good! The only reason the she refused was my fault. I didn't get her going fast enough. So she was a very good girl!!!
My new focus for practice rides is :WARM UP MORE!! I started cantering, and I could feel she wasn't ready. I started jumping and I c…

So I had my lesson yesterday and it was awesome!! I rode Sully, Allie rode Spot, and Billy rode Sundae. Oh and Grace rode also. She was on Smidget! We went on a trail ride where we did walk and trot. We then went on the jumping trail, where Grace said we could jump whichever jumps we wanted, and go around whichever jumps we wanted. I jumped the second coop, one log, and one branch sticking off of a log ( we didn't line up to the log very well...lol ). Oh and also one branch that went all the way…

I had my lesson on Friday and it was good. I rode Sully. :-) We started off doing group trots (after we walked). we did posting trot, sitting trot, and 2-point trot. Sully was so smooth that lesson!! The sitting trot felt like walking!! Even though we were at a good nice trot!! Then we got in line and cantered. We worked on identifing the leads, and changing them if they were wrong. Sully picked up the correct one almost every time!! Then we did some jump courses. The biggest one was :Flowerbox…

Hi guys!!! So today I went to the barn to sidewalk the little kids. It was fine. Like any other job. you love it, but you hate it at the same time. Right?? So when practice rides rolled around, I got on Slim! I got on him because Delaney rode Lady. She didn't ride Sweet Tart because, well, Sweet Tart's dead now. :( Anyways! He was pretty good. He trotted, then I got him to canter a couple of times, and jumped 1 jump. It was a green & white verticle liverpool, that looked about 18"-2' from Sl…

What's the verdict??? .....................
IT WAS AMAZING!! I rode Sully, the Appaloossa in my pictures. She was much faster than she usually is... but I really liked my new trainer, Grace!! I think this is good for me! :)

Woohoo!! Tomorow is the day. No, no, no. It's
the day. My first lesson in Intermediate A! So I'm gonna have Grace for my instructor, and I'm thinking she's gonna put me on Saint ( !! ), being as she was the one who suggested I ride him in my last lesson in Beginner B! So... I'm excited! But... nervous. But happy! But... scared. Scared that I'm not going to be able to do the lesson. Because I don't know. I went and watched one lesson, and I wasn't sure if I could jump...about…

Our barn had a lovely paint mare named Sweet Tart. She had one blue eye, and one brown. She was an amzing jumper, and was a wonderful soul. The other day, she busted her hock open. She got stiches, but couldn't use her leg anymore. We had to put her down. At least she's out of her pain, right? Right.
RIP SWEET TART
