(no subject)
i havent updated in awhile, so now im going to.
weekend-
the show this past weekend was pretty much a waste of time... the footing in the hunter ring was terrible, so it was hurting leah (the horse i ride) to jump. on top of that, i was wasting riding very well because of my ankle. so all our jumping classes were pretty terrible. our flats were good, but we had a bad judge. one i should've gotten first in and she gave me second. the other i should've gotten 2nd or 3rd in, and i didnt even place. oh well... so i went home nice and tired on sunday. it was nice to see taylor for like 30 minutes though. she didnt getta see me ride though, which was kinda bummer. at the show there was a lady interesting in buying leah (she's for sale for $10,000) when she was talking to dabney (my trainer) about it, i started to cry. dabney pulled me aside and said that if she sold sold leah, she was gonna buy a hunter horse for less money, but which would be better at doing at what i want to do. this horse she was talking about was at the show, and i had actually seen him, he's cute. so there wouldnt not be a horse for me to ride. but no horse is leah. or rather, only one horse is leah, and thats leah herself. no other horse cmopares... anyways, my mom got a new teaching job, so she was thinking of buying herself a new car. on the way back from the show, i asked when she thought she was gonna get that car she'd been talking about, and she said that she wasnt going to. that there were better ways to spend her money. she didnt wanna tell me, but i got it out of her that she wanted to buy me that horse that dabney had talked about. he only costs 5,000.
monday-
school was fine, and i was getting excited about possibly having my own horse - something ive wanted for 8+ years. but i felt really guilty about having my mom spend her money on something that i want, not something she wants.
tuesday-
same story. i want the horse, but i dont. and saying that i want the other horse is like giving up on leah. it rained so our game was cancled.
wednesday-
practice tired me out, and kristen meyers was giving me a home from it and we got in a car crash. her car and the dude that hit us's car were both pretty beaten up, but no1 was hurt. the guy thought we were stupid or sumthin, cuz the first thing he said was "do you want me to pay you now? i can go get $600 out of the atm right now. but finally he gave kristen his insurance card, and all was taken care of. it took the police like an hour and a half to get there though...
thursday-
we got off practice early, which was really nice. still didnt know what to do about the horse.
friday (yesterday)-
i went out to ride. leah is sore, so i had to ride yeats. yeats is this HUGE horse that jenny rides. he was fun... dabney was talking to my mom, and when my mom and i were driving back home, my mom told me that dabney offered to sell leah to us for $5,000. my mom asked if i really wanted a horse. i was hesitant. i asked about her car. she said the car didnt matter. so i told her that, yes, i want leah. so now we just have to convince my dad. im like 95% of the way to having my own horse!!! then, just in time to ruin the mood, my mo started lecturing me about drugs. but that doesnt matter! im gonna get leah!!
today -
i woke up and made pancakes. i was the only one that ate them though. my mom had already eaten and my brother and dad werent home. then i called frank and talked to him for a little over an hour. it was really nice to talk to him. now im just kinda lookin for something to do... i know you're wondering why i went through the whole dramatic horse story when i could have just cut to the chase and said im prolly getting leah. well the answer is: its much more interesting to explain it the way i did. i never ever thought i would have leah - she's too expensive. but not anymore!! so, im excited. i getta ride the other huge horse at the barn next week. cuz leah is still kinda sore. that shud be fun.
three day weekend yay!!
goodbye.
