I'm Going To Miss You Sonny <3

My prayers are with my friend Susan as she grieves the loss of her horse Sonny. Sonny was a truly talented and brave horse. Many of you might remember Susan's name. She was helping me with Amador while I was between trainers. In exchange I rode her horse Sonny. He was a big 16 something hand chestnut thoroubred. He was sweet and gentle and funny. Sonny was blind in one eye so he was a chalange but he handled it so well. Sonny coliced very badly last night and had to be put down. I'm so sorry for your loss Susan, I couldn't imagine how I would feel if this happened to Amador, Sonny you will not be forgotten.

Also I am supposed to have a lesson tomorrow but after I got off Amador tonight I saw that his shoe was very loose. I left him in for the night and will check on him in the morning. I hope that the shoe will hold through the afternoon.

All Better!

Hey Yall,
So two days ago the vet gave me a thumbs up for Amador's eye. He said that it was looking way better and that as soon as the dialation was back to normal that I could ride him again! I am so excited to ride again it seems like I haven't ridden in like a year. haha I have been working around J&B to keep busy and just doting on my baby. I am having two lessons this week with Charles since next week I am off to Florida for an entire week for the Ultimate Life Summit (that thing I got a scholorship for). That's another week without riding but this will be alomost unbearable because I won't see Amador either! Well thats all for now. I will let you know how my lessons go, Hailey is supposed to come with me to one of them, so I might even have pics!

OWIE!

Hey yall,
So Tuesday I drove all the way to Seabrook for my lesson only to pull Amador off the trailer to find that he was unable to open his eye. So we loaded back up and called the vet. Sally Banner (our favorite vet) came and she told me that he had an ulcer in his eye. So we are our of commission for the next week until his eye is all better.

Lesson Day

Today Amador and I loaded up and went over to Seabrook for our weekly lesson with Charles. It was a good lesson and I learned a lot. We worked on my position on the flat as well as over fences. We also continued to work on riding to the base of every fence. Amador was a little fast but we improved steadily with each round. I got to ride with my friends which was really cool.
