Update Time
Fell off the face of the earth again, as happens often enough. Here's the update run down:
Horses
Been slowly teaching Sarge to jump. We've only gone over tiny things so far, and not very often. He's a lazy bum about it, for the most part, and I don't really think you can call anything we've done so far "jumping" as he pretty much just steps over it. Still, exciting times!
He was, however, a little gimpy at the trot when I went out last week. I think it might have been his neck or back-- he kept stretching his head way down at the trot. I'll see how he is when I go out today. Hopefully he'll be rideable, as Kate and I were thinking of trail riding on the weekend.
Shivna is also doing well; been slowly acclimating her more and more to the bridle and starting to work on simple commands when I'm up on her. (And by simple, I mean that we're basically just working on "walk on".) I think that I'll put the saddle on her today, since I've just been doing bareback work so far.
Stopped lessoning since I ran out of money, and that sucks, but I did get to jump my old show buddy Atticus at that barn a few weekends ago, when I went to help out at an intercollegiate show. Yay!
WorkBoth of my jobs should be starting up soon. I plan to work the farmstand full time, and do some part time work at Lowes because I really need all the money I can get at this point.
Fun and Travel
PAX East is Easter weekend, and it'll be my first time, and I'm pretty excitied. It'll be a delightfully giant nerd convention up in Boston, and I'll also get to visit my aunt up there. Super looking forward to the whole thing.
Soccer started back up, and Philly Union had their first game last night. It was away, in Portland. Dave and I watched them get their asses kicked in a supporters bar near him. It's a shame; the head coach basically got rid of their best player(s) and so there are a lot of new faces who aren't used to working together and aren't as good as those who are gone. Blah.
I think that's basically all that's up with me lately; maybe I'll try to keep up with updating more.
