Guess What?
GUESS WHAT I DID TODAY??? For 3 hours!! I rode!!!! I started out riding English on a black Tennessee Walker/Thoroughbred cross named Eliza and then I rode Western on a horse named Triscuit (SO much fun!!!He's a reiner). I'm going back on Wednesday!!!! :D Triscuit was at the Colts & Fillies show...here is a pic of him. I'm a bit out of practice, but it'll get better in time!
Field Days
So, guess what? Field Days is only going to be one day this year: Saturday. I just found out, although we had talked about the possibility of that at our club meeting on Friday. So no worries for those of you who are going to Teen Conference!!

Cloliver
Cloliver - Clara & Oliver (lame, I know, just coming up with a name for this post). Okay, so there was this one picture that I took of Clara and Ollie that I just HAD to show everyone. I LOVE it!

Pole Bending
I did pole bending with Chippy today and we got 3rd!! If I had let him canter more, we probably would have gotten higher.
Great Job Girlies!
I just wanted to say that everybody who rode today at the Colts and Fillies show did absolutely fantastic! It was great to watch you guys ride and have fun. You all worked so hard to get ready for the season and it shows. Also, the ponies looked awesome. They are so clean and shiny and handsome all dooded up. And last, but not least, a shout out to Dorothy, Sonja, and the moms and dads that helped you all get there. Y'all are the best ever!!!

What's Your Sport?
I feel like I have people always telling me that riding isnt a sport. Now, I can understand that most of theses people saying that are completely unaware to what riding really is. But they see riding as just sitting there, not doing anything, having the horse do it all. So, instead of arguing with the person..I just say,"I can defiantly see where you are coming from..but it can be more intense than you think." and while I say that, I'm thinking.."Ohh, I'd love to see you ride my pony on a bad day..."
Anyways, the sport of riding to me is two completely different minds working together as one.Me and my pony are a team, just like any other basketball or soccer team. If one of us is off, we are both off. We have good days, and bad days. We fail, we succeed. We both practice the long hours of intense, sometimes frustrating training. We may get totally ticked at one another; but at the end of the day we are still best friends. Riding is my sport, always will be my sport.
What's your sport?
Riding...maybe
Well, as a few of you know, last fall and early winter I was riding a horse named Phoebe. I called her owner today (I haven't been in contact with her in quite a while) and asked if I could ride Phoebe again and she said that I could! Although Phoebe's not the best horse, (doesn't really canter or jump) she's still a horse! Her owner also said that I could show her, which I'd love to do, but I just can't afford all of the clothes that I would need for that (boots, breeches, show shirt and show coat), so that probably won't happen :( Oh well, at least I'll get to ride something!
