My life is a mess!

Oi vey.

I'm so not going into details. But my life is a wreck.

And unfortunately, I've discovered CANTER. I'm headed to the track on Sunday, and if this crazy old man agrees to let me give him some cash, I'll have a new horse =/ Still not sure that's good, haha. His name is Bushy. What a dreadful name for a handsome horse!

In the mean time, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eet-Vbg-YJ4

Holy cow, right? Stephanie tipped me onto that amazingness, and I couldn't not share it with everyone!

So tomorrow I think I'm bringing Bailey to Oatlands and my new found awesome horsey friends are going to help me do some flat exercises on her. I've realized that I'm quite good at teaching horses basic dressage, but I have no idea what I'm doing to get them there. So we're on an adventure to find out!

I'm off to Wal-Mart to print some pictures. Hopefully I'll have some more things to tell you all later!

Where does time go?

I feel like I never stop! Somehow the hours just keep ticking on by.

I recent news, my job has gotten better. I think maybe I'm reading into things, but it's only been a few weeks. I'm trying not to pass judgment too quickly, and just see how it goes. Today we went on a trail ride, which was super nice, especially since the horse I rode actually trail rides, instead of just bouncing along.

I have a boarder. Did I mention this last time? It's an 18hh Hano. He's a total dollface, and gives Patrick someone to rough around with, since Bailey doesn't much enjoy his play sessions anymore. She's turning into a bit of a diva princess. I also have two other girls that may be boarding horses at my house sometime in the near future. I don't know where all of this came from, but I like it! Now I just have to get the new place fixed up asap so I have room!

Also, I got a new farrier out yesterday to do the horses. I had known him a while back from my old barn, but I lost touch with him and wasn't sure if he was still doing farrier work. Thank my lucky stars, he is, and he did a GORGEOUS job. I'm seriously tickled with how Bella's feet look. I want to take pictures of them and frame them on my wall, that's how lovely they look. Finally! Now I just have to call and cancel the other guy...please go to voicemail, please go to voicemail, please go to voicemail...

My sister has been riding Patrick a lot lately, which has been good for everyone involved. It gives me less to worry about, her something to ride, and him a rider he doesn't totally hate (like me!). Bella is jumping around super fab. I'm thinking about taking her to do some eq stuff at the finale county show this weekend, just for the hell of it.

$1 Million Dollar HITS Grand Prix this weekend! My trainer will be there competing, and I'm going to be plastered in front of the computer watching!
