Fox Hunt!!!

Hey Yall,
So today I was bored during pe so I went and saw an old friend by the name of Diane Geradeau, (I think that's how it's spelled) who used to board at M&M while I was there. She is super neat and fun and she told me about this thing she is doing with some women from her barn. She is going to the Rein and Shine first annual hunter pace benifit. It is June 20th at Poplar Grove and for those 18 and under it is only 35 dollars and for adults 45, both including luch. All the info is on the Rein and Shine website but this is a great and fun way to help out a local organization that does so much for the community. They do so much and I have seen first hand the effect that they can have. It is going to be a blast and I hope to see everyone out there supporting this great cause! I am trying to put a team together. So far we consist of myself and my friends Sarah and Hailey from J&B Stables so if anyone is interested and likes to go fast and has a horse that is in shape give me a call, but our super team is not for the faint hearted!

BIG NEWS!!!

Hey Yall,

So I have really big news! Today we scheduled my first official lesson with Charles from Seabrook! So on Wednesday I am going to wake up early, load up Amador and drive over to Seabrook Equestrian Center. O, thats the other big news, I'm driving over to Seabrook all by myself! My mom has decided that I can since she has to work that day anyways. I am so excited, I have wanted to work with Charles for a while now and my mom and I both think that it is a great opportunity. He is very good with green horses and right now in hunters, that is what my horse is. Can't wait to tell yall all about it.

Also what has gone on since the last time I posted you might wonder? Well, Amador threw a shoe the other day so I haven't been able to ride since Saturday, but I have been playing with him alot. Also I have been working really hard to get a full hunter course set up in my ring i now have three sets of wings, five sets of standards, poles, a brush box and a wall! I am working so hard to make the farm as nice as possible with our small budget. I really want a barn but that's a ways into the future as far as I can tell. Also I have some sad news. My mom and I are leaving early Saturday morning to take Danny and his pony friend, Annie, up to camp in Brevard, N,C. I am a little concerned about what Amador will do all alone especially because he and Danny have grown so close. Because of this, I am looking fo a companion for him. Any ideas?

This Weather Stinks!!!

Hey Yall,
So this past week has been super gross here! I haven't been able to ride but once. I went out on Wednesday night and rode and on Thursday night we did some work on the lunge line just because we needed exercise. I am going crazy not having ridden, but since our riding area doubles as a pasture we have to try really hard not to ruin all the grass. I was super excited to get home from a great weekend visiting my grandmother in Beaufort and ride, but I must have eaten something because I am really sick. I missed school today but hoefully I can go tomorrow.It's really important that I don't miss because exams are coming up and I really want to do well! Today the vet came out and pulled coggins on both Amador and Danny since Danny was due for a new one and Amador's expired in a month we decided to just get both done.

I have really big news now! So about three weeks ago my mom handed me this form to fill out to apply for a scholorship to go to a week long camp at the end of July. I was a little hesitant about applting because I would have to be gone for my birthday, but I figured I would never get it anyway and filled it out. Well today my mom handed me another piece of paper. This time it was a letter saying that out of like a hundred applicants, I had gotten one of four scholorships! The camp is called The Ultimate Life Summit and kids from all over go that want to start their own business. The best part is that it is in Disney World for a whole week! I am very excited, although I hate leaving Amador for an entire week! Well hopefully I will have news of a great ride tommorow!

Horse Show!!!

Hey yall,
So as you all know today we went to the pinto show at Mullet Hall. Ashley and I both got up really early and went to the barn where we met my mom. Once we were loaded up we were off. I drove and I was so proud of myself I didn't do anything wrong! my mom said that she thought I was ready to start driving by myself! Anyway so we got to the show late so we rushed to get Danny and Amador tacked up so that we could school. I got on Danny and he did awesome as always. Then I got on Amador and he did pretty well. So Ashley rode very well in her classes and while she did not place she looked great. So then it was my turn. While I was schooling my mom started talking to Charles from Seabrook and he offered to help me because Amador and I were struggling trouble working to the base of each jump. So Charles helped us and immediately we did so so much better. We didn't pin unfortunately but it was a great show considering we haven't been to a hunter show in a while. I think that we are going to continue to improve and I can't wait for our next show.

A Year!

Hey Yall,
I just realized it has been a whole year since I got Amador! I love him so much he is one of the best things that has ever happened to me! Thank you to my grandma who bought him for me and to my parents for paying for him :) and supporting me! Thank you to Tania my second mom for all of your help I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you everyone!!! Here are some pictures of us through out the last year.

Horse Show!

Hey Yall,
So this weekend I am going to take Amador to the Pinto Show at Mullet Hall. My friend Ashley has been working with Danny alot and so I suggested that she take him and show him in the short/long stirrup division. She really is just going to have fun but I think she will do pretty well. They are super amazing together and Danny loves he so much. I am going to show in the low hunter division and if we are doing well the junior/amateur schooling hunter division. I am so excited! Today Ashley and I clipped our boys and the look super handsome. We still have to pull Danny's mane and figure a way to get Amadors mowhawk down. lol Ashley and I both are very excited I haven't shown in a while and am very excited to show off my new hunter! I will let yall know how it goes.
