A long update will either be posted today or tomorrow because I have a midsemester break starting today. Until the happy riding 

It's Friday

So glad it's Friday it's been a long week but it's Friday and that only means it's the weekend and that means it's time to ride everyone have fun.  

Monday blues

Hey everyone i' m back from a long weekend but other then that its been great our team did great both days and we even came in as a high point school on Saturday. I don't have a riding update for this week because it is snowing as we speak well type in my case and so my Monday lesson was canceled, however i am going home this weekend and i am hoping to get the chance to pop over to my barn and ride. So maybe i will get in a ride this week if nature decides to cooperate. If its snowing or just plain cold where you live then i hope you are  all cuddled up and warm and don't forget about our horse friends who also need to be toasty warm.
Until next time

Updates

It's been a rough couple of weeks for school but riding has been great even with all of the no stirrup work we have been doing. We are heading to a show this weekend and I am going to bond better with my team and watch some amazing riders. I will post more later this weekend as the events unfold. 

Valentines day

Happy valentines hope everyone had a love filled day and show our horses some love too . Love you all 

Some people ask me why

People have asked me why.
The question that i seem to get a lot throughout my schooling is why i enjoy riding horses so much.
This is normally asked by non horse friends and they really do not understand what it truly means to love a creature so much. The reason i ride is because it is my passion it is not just a hobby, and it is not just something that you can start and stop but it is something that makes me well me. Riding has given me independence and well as an unbreakable bond between a human and a 12,000 lb animal. To me this is beauty in it best form. With out riding i do not feel as if i would be a whole person i think i would feel as if a part of my soul and heart was missing. Riding is something that i will never be able to live without it is what has made me the person i am today and that really has an impact on a person when your instructor makes a comment on it. She has told me countless times before that she could always tell i would be around horses and nothing would stop me from one day having my own and i feel that both of the statements that she spoke are entirely true because without horses i would have no life to continue on with. Horses are what brings me joy and happiness to an otherwise normal life of a current college student. You know you truly love horses when you are more worried about them being cold in this weather then how cold you are while walking to class in the snow or the fact that you think they need a new saddle pad or other things when in all reality they have more things then you, but to me none of that matters i would and will continue to put money in horses for what i feel that they need instead of using it on myself because buying stuff for the horses is what makes me happy and i would continue to do that because it makes me happy and thats all that really matters. I am an equestrian and the equine is what makes me me.

Update on life

Hey guys i'm back its been just a few weeks but i am back and better then ever. I was able to go home from school last weekend and got to ride at my old barn which was amazing considering i got to ride the newest member of our farm a he is still draft horse named ember. He is my baby ,but for those of you who where here when i was still working with Gus he is still there and as crazy as ever. So over the weekend i was able to ride ember but i also got to ride jefferson who is built more like a sport horse and i got to work on some grids with him which was a fantastic experience considering i had not jumped since September or October.Okay so that covers my weekend at home so i then left to come back to my university on Sunday for  another full week as well as my Monday lesson for the equestrian team at my school. This week has been surprisingly good except for the cold and the snow but hey i got a day off of class so i'm not complaining. i just cant wait to get back on a horse again next week, and i hope everyone has an awesome weekend, and valentines day as well. If you are stuck with snow i hope that you stay cuddled up and warm as well as keeping your horsey friends warm as well.  

I'm Back

Hey Guys sorry i was on such a long hiatus it just got crazy with school and still kind of is considering i am now in college and riding with the equestrian club at my university. i feel as if i have become a better riding and can wait to be able to have some time to update my blog more frequently since i now have a little more time. i hope that you will stick with me as i get this blog up and running again but thanks for sticking in there for awhile considering i was away from my blog.

Megan
