So the last time I left off was right in the middle of a show on a saturday. Sunday was good, we were 3rd last to go out of around 28 i believe. The course was a little wierd, we had the bicycle fence in it. In our first round we went clear, she was so good. Then it was a comeback jumpoff but we didn't have too long to wait but the last few horses took a while to go. I was 2nd last to go in the jumpoff, so i watched a few. Then I got on to warmup. We had a really good round :D we did an awesome angle to the 2nd jump, like totally 45'd it. then inside turns and our last fence was death. so deep, and it was a skinny, but she jumped clear, and had the fastest time and with only 2 horses to go. We won the class :D i was so happy :D. We also won last saturday since the person who got first was disqualified so we moved up. overall i'm ranked 6th, which is pretty darn good :D. Then i had to go to school.. write an exam.. whopdedoo.
My next week was at barrie. it was ok.. martien was coaching us again. So our first round I fell off... but made it to the speed part.. so i still placed. Our second round we went double clear and we got a 2nd. The next day was the gamblers choice and we got a 7th.. not our best ride. I was getting fed up of everything.. mainly waiting around all day. We decided to do the grand prix. it was higher then normal, but she jumped Amazing :D. We got disqualified since we haven't done any water really. So ya. Well i was pissed off too. I was 6th to go in the class, and i asked one of the grooms (i was the groomless kid last week) if someone could bring her down since i won't have time to go back, get on and warmup in time. But they're like well.. we don't know.. i'm like fine whatever. I was pissed, usually I don't mind going back up to get her, IF I HAVE THE TIME. But considering i was 6th in, and when we finished walking the course the first horse was already in.. uhh i'm a little worried. So i go to the barn.. and willow doesn't even have her bridle on. AHHHH. So finally we get on and get ready. Not our best warmup, i was still pissed off, also a little miffed at martien. He kept making me make willow go faster to the jump, which is not what dave has instilled in my mind for the past 3 years. lol anyways...
So then i came home and haven't really been doing too much. The week after barrie i rode only like 2x.. horrible.. maybe 3x. but the last few days were just so busy with erica's going away bash, and me being hungover and running on 2 hours of sleep. haha. what a night. I got there early so i could ride smokey. He was so good. Then put him away.. and people started arriving. We played some foosball, haha, which i was quite good at.... I think.. i really don't remember?... wow. So ya, we went on this walk to the escarpment, that was fun, then we came back and threw combustible objects into the fire. It was awesome. Anyways, so then it was liek 2 and alex and i went to go sleep in the golf cart trailer, and were just falling asleep around maybe 3? and jotham courtney and jess come in and wake us up and talk for like 30 minutes.. then we went up to the house, alex and I, and we saw jotham drive to the escarpment. so me and alex... not as drunk as before, go over there... with me getting attacked my a tree... it reminded me of the tree off of harry potter.. oh now thats fun. anyways, so we ended up scaring this shit out of them, so that made my day. Then we walked out to the escarpment again and we all just sat around for an hour. then we decide to go back and go to sleep. So by this time its 5, 5 30 and sheldon had to get up early for work... like around 6... so we hear his car.. but we hear it stop.. so i look and i'm like maybe he hit a hay bale? but no.. the entire side of his car was scratched. so then for like the next 30 minutes we just sat around looking at it.. since that helps.. so FINALLY around 6 i go to bed.. erica walks courtney up at like 7 30.. then i fall back asleep and wake up at 8 to a squirrel on the trailer... lol i was like WTF.. anyways. Then I came home got my report card. 71 in calc, 83 in geomatics and then slept. then i woke up i ate, then slept until 11 the next morning. Anyways, so then I didn't go riding.. i think i went out with my mom.. wait..no? maybe i think i cut the lawn. then i went out with steve that night. So then now were on saturday.. i don't remember what happened basically but it couldn't have been important.
So these past few weeks I've been riding. So.. a few paragraphs ago I mentioned that martien was coaching me at palgrave and barrie, well we started (we being my family and I) wondering if he was going to be a permacoach.. and not dave. Well my dad phoned sandi and said that I still really want to ride for dave. and sandi said that they all thought the girls wanted to ride for martien, and that I was doing so well with him, but then my dads like thats because of what dave taught her. so now dave's my coach, so I'm very happy. everyone else is still riding for martien though.. well like jamie, kai, meghan and that.. anyways.. thats my life..
i head to bromont in 7 days ;)
