havent died

hey everyone i havent died just thought i would give you an update Gus has been out for  two weeks due to an abscess in his hoof so i have been riding jeffferson and let me say the first lesson wwas so bad it felt like i had never ridden before i could get him to collect and i was bouncing all over the place so i was not happy with that lesson and was glad it was not videoed  this weeks lesson how ever was much better we did jumping and it was a sucess we trotted and cantered some jumps  and worked on collection at the trot and canter and rode with out sturrips i cant wait for this weekend lesson because i start school on thursday so riding is going to be a relief and then i am goin to the movies that afternoon i might also stay  and help with the after noon class and maybe try to ride indigo or even just groom him so he is being taken care of too thats it for now i will update next weekend

going riding tomorrow

Tomorrow i hope i am going riding and i am going to try to video what i am doing to post it on here. so i can see how consistent we are through the next two weeks and i am going to do it in black and white and am going to add music so if you comment tell me what music you would like to here we are going to be doing flat work and maybe some dressage so i hop i can find my video camera

summer

I am back from my second beach trip and thought i would update so last firday june 30 i had a private lesson and we did a little jumping and sime half passes and i got a suprise i was talking to my instructor and we talked about how i wouldnt be able to ride for a while but she is going to let me ride while she is gone over seas she thinks i am a good enough rider and she trusts me

i have to have an adult with me and no jumpping but other then that i am really excited
thats really all thats be going on in my life lately

Ps. Sara have fun in china cant wait to see you again good luck on the horse search again

update

this is just going to be a short update sorry i have been M I A for a month and it may be more i leave for the beach this saturday then leave again july second and the my instructor and one of my best friend are leaving for China so no riding for a while which is very sad the only ride i might get in is the sunday i get back after the first beach trip so thats whats up in my life sorry to keep everyone out there hanging love you guys i will post when i get back from the  beach with some pictures

a video that got me thinking

I just finished watching a video on YouTube that really made me think and i hope this is a long time from now but the quote used in the video only the good die young. i cant imagine losing a best friend that has been there with you from the begging weather its the first show, first time trailering, all the falls, trail rides, foxhunts,and more but no matter what age they leave they are always there in our hearts and will always be with us no matter what we move on to do. it just got me thinking on if i ever lost Gus even if he isn't mine it feels like he is and i know my heart would break into a billion pieces because of the lose of a good friend that never judged or got mad but was their for a shoulder to cry on and they are a rock when you need them Horses are different then people no matter what my happen to you they always are there to comfort you and it always helps to have someone there that will stand by you.

right now i still have my best friend but the day that changes i know it will be the worst day of my life 

the pictures here show the bond that i have with this horse that is going to last for a long time

one thing that means spring to me

Okay as the title says there is one thing that means spring to me and that is the annual spring riding clinic. that is what i think of when i hear the word spring. the camp was enjoyable with helping and riding the first day we did cross country jumps in the top pasture and the second day we did a mock horse show and it was all a good way to get Gus's training further along. We have an upcoming show in may and Gus and i will hopefully place a little higher this year then last with his training being further along then last year.

last weeks lesson and upcoming clinic

Last weeks lesson went fabulous we worked on figure eights and we walked them and then moved up to a trot and canter and it went well for me gus only missed one lead and that is a miricle. This weekend i have a two day clinic can you say exstatic i am in a great mood i get to spend the whole day at my home a way from home. Sara i hope your hands are feeling better she and biggen didnt have such a great day just go and read her blog cant wait to see you at the clinic

a buck filled day

hey guys just got back from the barn like an hour ago and lets just say Gus was in a bucking mood today and was trying to get me off and that didn't happen so he just ended up wearing himself out more then he wore me out today we rode in the triangle and in the arena and worked on spirals and lots of sticking off to the canter and we also did some ground work. i hope that your ankle feels better Sara that's about it for today

updated pics are a much needed thing
