Realization...

I was just reading some blog posts today, listening to Passenger and thinking of how I'm going to miss my girl, Summer.

She has been one of the most difficult horses I have ever ridden. And although she has her moments of completely not listening and stopping unexpectedly. And I have my moments of coming up to far on her neck and just getting distracted. There are times when my legs are dying and she carries me around the arena like a champ, she knows exactly what my weaknesses are. There are times of her deciding she is done and wants to go back to her stall, I'm finally figuring out how to understand her and catch her before she decides to bolt across the arena. Through all this, we're still figuring out  each other and how to work as a team. As much as I wish I could stay, and she could be mine, life just doesn't work out that way... This song has literally been my favorite lately, as I can relate to it a TON. Passenger- Let Her Go

I'll write a post soon about exactly why I'm leaving and the likes... But I just am not feeling it right now... 

For now enjoy a quick video of some of my favorite moments, and my friend's horse bucking. :)

Falling off and landing on my FEET... Twice ((Old Post))

I realized a little while ago I forgot about this blog! This was a post I began writing a while ago and I decided to finish it. :)
Hope you enjoy my fails... ;)

Hey!
Recently I've been riding flea-bitten gray Arabian named Connor. He is one of the most unpredictable/spooky horses at the barn. My lesson time is at the same time as the horses are being brought in along with their dinner. This is one of the main reasons for problems I've had with horses not wanting to cooperate... So anyways, everything was going well until Connor decided that the horses behind the arena wall were monsters set on eating him... -_- Que big spook #1, I somehow managed to dismount and not fall on my butt as he twists around and does whatever he is doing... I mounted again and we walked and trotted a little before he realized again that the horses were scary. In comes another spook, although I managed to stay on until he decided to leap into the air again... That's the second time falling off. I landed on my feet and then tripped backwards. So that technically counts as landing it! :) Connor was running around and freaking out the other horses so everyone dismounted and they decided to switch my horse as we still had half of the lesson left! I rode another flea-bitten gray named Rosie! And that's where the similarities end, Rosie is a quarter horse who has the hugest canter ever! In huge I mean she stretches out so it"s quite... big. For lack of a better explanation. The lesson ended well but I'm glad to be back riding my good ole' Paint girl. :)

Thanks!
