Oooh I got baloons!! Thank you Leah! :D

Well I've had some fun since I've come home. Mostly life is slow and boring, which is actually kind of relaxing. It's nice to be able to go to the barn and spend as much time as I want with my horse -- take my time grooming and tacking etc. and just do whatever I want when I ride. It's kind of funny actually, the first few times I rode him when I ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm debating majoring in Civil Engineering. Does anyone have any experience with this? Since I went to KY straight out of highschool, I have never taken any college classes. I'm starting this spring, and I'm going to a comm. college. Then I'm transfering to a 4 year ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! Just dropping in to give you the latest news... Things are going great on the farm, but I miss home a lot ( Read more... )

Yayayaya!!! Berine and I did our first Prelim! He was such a superstar. I don't know how many details ya'll want, but here are a few... He was good in dressage, and we got a decent enough score (43) not earth shattering, but respectable. (Megan was also convinced that the judge was whacked, which he kind of was. The horse leading in the dressage ( Read more... )

Apparently green tea makes me reaaaaaaaallly want to clean the house at 11pm, even though I know I have to get up at 5:30am!

Ok, I know I said that there would be more updates as soon as we got internet at the house, but I have just been terrible at the wordy-posts. Oh well, people like pictures anyways, right? Here are some from our lesson the other day.

( Yay for jumping! )

I got some pictures from Paul Frazer! Just for a reminder to anyone who didn't see the last post, this was a CT we did last weekend at the Horse Park. The weather was NASTY, but luckily held out for all of my rides (we had tornado warnings!). This was our fist prelim, but just an unrecognized CT of course. Bernie was great, but the SJ course was ( Read more... )

Haha, well, kind of! It was a CT, but prelim none the less! Bernie was really good and I was way to hard on myself as usual. I thought that our dressage test was wretched, but I still managed to get a 38, so it must not have been TOOOOO bad. Show jumping was such a cluster fuck. The course was crazy and in a tiny arena. So much so that lots of ( Read more... )

Here are some pics from Sporting Days in Aiken. This was our last show before we left. Bernie was amazing in dressage... he got a 35.something, and was in fourth but two points off the lead. I REALLY wish they had gotten pictures, but they didn't :(. He even beat out some fancy imports. lol. Of course, my freaky careful show jumper got a rail ( Read more... )
