Guess Who's Back!

Hey Yall,

So my internet has been down for at least two weeks! I have so much to post about it is insane! So to start, the most exciting news is that I have now had three or four lessons with Charles and they have gone super well! Charles thinks that we will be ready to compete again in hunters in two or three months! I want to do as many shows as I can but money is tight so we are going to try our hardest. In our last lesson with Charles we worked alot on my position and how it effects the horse. I have been working hard to build up my leg strength and to ride every day.

Next big ticket item is that Amador has moved to J&B for the summer! He is loving being in a stall. We had to move him because he was getting so sun bleached and also his hoof rot was getting progressively worse because of the wet ground at my house. I love being at a barn again. As much as I loved being at my own farm and making my own rules and such, I now realize how much I have missed the comrodery of a barn.

Well that's all I can think of right now I am super tired!

All the Way to North Carolina

Hey Yall,

So it's been a while since I blogged and so much has happened! So Thursday night Ken Moody came out and put Amador's shoe back on which turned out to be a very difficult task. Since Amador has been out in the pasture and it has been so wet he has gotten hoof rot. This means that there was not very much foot for Ken to nail to. We have been very proactive though to get rid of this nasty development. I have soaked his feet first in peroxide then in kopertox he is on a hoof supplement now and I am still using keritex. So hopefully he will be all better soon.

Next big news is that I drove my horse trailer all the way to Brevard, NC and back!!! Yay! It was very cool I have never drivin on the real interstate before and never that long all at once. So the reason we went to NC was to take Danny and another pony back to Camp Rockbrook for the summer. My mom and I always have the best road trips and we had so much fun staying at High Rocks where my mom grew up going as a camper and then a counsuler. Now it is all boys, but I hope to work there as a counsuler to one day. Amador seems quite lonely without Danny so we are going to try to find him a buddy. Any ideas message me please! :-)

Tommorrow my plan is to mow my ring and get all of the new jumps set up. I am going to ride Amador, then give him a break and get everything ready to go to Seabrook tomorrow. Then I am going to go down the road and pick up Kaijsa and Em so we can go swimming with our friend Trey and his horse at this super cool crystal clear pond thats back off a trail. This will be really good for Ami since when I rode today he was a tad bit stiff. I am excited bout the ring and I am going to take pics of that and our ride! Also I have pics to post from our trip.
