Second post in a day? Not April fools! Omg, I am IN LOVE with the Ben-centric part of the Lost fandom. Hes such an amazing character, and the fics that I've read have all just been such great character studies. Makes me want to get brave and try my hand at one... Maybe some other time ( Read more... )

Haha, lookee here. I'm posting on an LJ... again. Lets see how long this one lasts eh? I passed my C2 a few weeks ago, and am now in limbo, hoping to get my HB this summer, and praying like mad that for some crazy reason, I can take this horse at school home with me. I mean seriously, I love this horse. And after I had so much trouble letting ( Read more... )

Its been almost 2 freaking months. Where the hell have I been? Everywhere but on LJ of course. Passed my C1, graduated, had multiple epiphanies at regional camp, got 3rd in the mini event, and got accepted to barn fair ( Read more... )

I am NEVER doing that again! Oh wait, whats that word next to the 'major' heading on my info at Wesleyan? BIOLOGY!? Well shit. Haha, not really, but I don't like going into tests feeling unprepared. As it is, I don't think I did all that horribly, I think I at least passed. Don't think I pulled off the 4 I needed unless I did amazingly well on the ( Read more... )

Not very good things to feel when going into a ride. Plus all these fences were set up, so I couldn't do anything but circles. Basically, not a great ride ( Read more... )

Well I got myself a 3rd ride because a C-2 canceled and Sedate said I could take her place in one of the C-1/C-2 groups! YAY! So I finally went XC on Hattan for the first time this year. It was great! We first practiced our positions again, and then we built up a coffin outside - first with the ditch, and then a fence after the ditch, and then a ( Read more... )

So we left Friday night for the outreach clinic, and Hattan hadn't been ridden since Tuesday. So We got to the barn early to feed Saturday morning, and I schooled Hattan before the rides started. He was great, at first a bit excited and tense, but quickly relaxed and we had a very nice 20 minute ride ( Read more... )

I've just been so busy and stressed out lately that I didn't post, but here are some snippets of Monday's and Tuesday's rides ( Read more... )

Okay, yesterday was amazing. Lija, Jamie, and I went out on the trails, and eventually found our way to a huuuge open field with good footing. I cantered Hattan in the open in a group! IN HIS SNAFFLE BIT!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! That was pretty much amazing! I was SO happy! And it was FUN ( Read more... )
