weekend disasters
Hello again
Its been an interesting weekend.
I didn't get to go to the show in Seekonk because I was house sitting with Hilary.
Claire's house.
HOLY SHIT it is amazing.
I took tons of pictures and I'm going to post them up here as soon as I get them developed.
They have 3 horses
Muffet, Ben and Lacey
we had to take care of them and stuff.
Because of all the snow I had to meet the girl at the Sherborn barn earlier than planned.
there are 5 horses
I have to pick each stall, water, Hay, feed and sweep.
Easy easy . . .Im excited
she seemed really nice.
Her name is Lindsay
She used to go down to Florida all of the time and ride like 6 horses a day
Now she teaches and only rides once and a while.
I think it will be fun working there.
I talked more with Lainey.
I feel a little bit better about the whole situation between us.
She said that she was really sad to lose me but
she was proud that I had put a lot of thought into it.
I am really . . . I dont know, sad I guess
about Parker.
Im afraid that if I tried to talk to someone about it I will just break down crying
I hate doing that in front of people so I will just do it now in front of the computer
If I am going to be switching my type of riding
I am going to need a horse that can handle it.
Parker is an eventer and
I am going to be doing the hunter/jumpers.
I definitely dont think that he will be able to do the hunters but
He is really good at stadium jumping so
I think maybe he coud do the jumpers.
In talking with Lainey
she said that Cookie would have no patients with a horse like Parker
He is really sensitive and has a stop in him.
She said that what I should do is keep him at Mainstone and lease him out.
It would make life so much less complicated.
That way I will be able to ride good horses
trained in the hunter world and still be able to have Parker.
"Whats the problem then?" you're thinking to yourself.
well I LOVE Parker.
I have no idea what I would do without riding him for more than a week.
He's like a drug
I am so protective of him
though it may not seem it because whenever missy used to need a horse to ride
I would be like
"oh ride Parker!"
When really I was pissed for saying it
I dont really know why i would.
But so anyway.
I dont think that I could just let someone lease him
This sounds really selfish but I just dont want to give him up.
He is one of those horses that is very
one person oriented
and he is picky about who he even lets pet his face.
I dont know how he'd be with someone else.
I think he knows something's up.
He's not eating very well and acting really touchy when I go into his stall.
We are changing his diet so that he is soon going to be off of grain
and on an all hay and hay-cube diet
with corn oil to up the fat
But he loves haycubes
For the past week I have looked into the bucket and it looks like he had two bites.
It just makes me feel really bad. . .
I dont know maybe Im just crazy.
In other, lastly news
Today Missy fell off of Damen and
either sprained or broke he wrist
I am awaiting her call as I type.
She just walked into the barn and was like
" I need an ice pack, I need an ice pack."
I felt soo bad.
She really has the worst luck.
Its not that she's a bad rider
or that she is careless.
Its just terrible situations that she gets put into.
There is no way anyone would be able to stay on when put through what she's gone through.
I feel bad for her
and her parents
they dont want her to ride anymore.
well I am tired
and starting to get a headache . . . i dont know why I keep getting them . . . weird
yours till ducks quack,
Alex
