Well, after talking with Doug and getting birthday and christmas present money forwarded to me, it looks I will be able to afford my friend's saddle without too much crunch on my budget. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!! She also gave me the number of another barn that not only is taking students, but also needs help cleaning out stalls to help pay ( Read more... )

So my riding hasn't been going too well lately. Literally, it's been going nowhere. I got fed up with the way my old barn kept changing instructors on my every two months or so and how they overused their horses. I didn't want to be a party to the poor mare I was riding getting injured because they were using her in 4-5 lessons a day, at least ( Read more... )

Okay, here I am updating again about Sonnet's training process. She has had no accidents (yay!) in the past two days in the house, and, with any luck, the trend will continue(knock on wood!).

Okay, I'm a little annoyed about this right now. I'm sure I'll get over it in about an hour or two, but as I can't call Doug to complain about it, LJ seemed the proper avenue ( Read more... )

Yet another snow day. This one, at least, makes perfect sense. The snow that started sticking to the roads at about 4 p.m. yesterday (after school would have been out for an hour and half for the hs, and half an hour for the elementaries) has caused a Level 2. THIS is a reason you cancel school. Yesterday was a bust ( Read more... )

Woot. Got into Northwestern, too. The options are broadening.

I had a shitty day today. It was fine most of the day, except towards the end things started happening that annoyed me/pissed me off ( Read more... )
