Have fun! I am glad that around here we only ever get up to around 90 F, and that is a rare occurrence.
I just had a lady tell me that 'she didn't have time to talk to someone like me' because I put out my view on horse slaughter (I am pro slaughter if the animal is raised healthy and happy and killed with respect), I tried to put it across as unoffensive as possible, and I wasn't even talking to her anyways. Some people, must take offense from everything, and try and run others in the dirt for their beliefs. I guess this is why I usually turn a blind eye on horse slaughter discussions. Sorry I just had a pity party for myself. End rant.
Starting the day off right! Went for a 1/2 mile run, did 100 sit ups, 15 push ups, and then had some acorn squash and cooked green peppers for breakfast
Okay, I can walk(not run) a 1/2 a mile, I can do like... 5 pushups - girl push ups. And I start sounding like a whale after 25 sit ups... Im jealous over here
Congrats Pumpkin! Vanilla, that sounds lovely!
I was lazy and slept in, just going for breakfast now. This is my only day off for this last week, so I'm relaxing. Posted via Mobile Device
Am I just weird or is it normal to be more fearless after a buck? That always happens, I usually really don't want a buck then after I am all about riding it out. Posted via Mobile Device
I am the same way. After I ride one buck I'm just like, "bring it on!" My first horse would do a few crowhops the Fest canter of the day every ride. If I rode it, we were good, if I came off well then she was bad for a couple days. I broke her myself and I sure came off a lot! But I also learned what not to do, like dont get mad and hit/kick her or she'll just buck. I learned a lot riding that horse. Posted via Mobile Device
it just so weird. you know :p she (the horse) was wanting to go back (we were riding in a field and you can easily go back to the driveway) and so she doesnt listen that much. but im all like "deal with it. im riding you and you can't spend your life in the barn so cowgirl up!! >:O " i can feel her really wanting to canter too but i wait until she isnt doing her little "im so hyper" dance. the first canter there was a little buck, then the second time there was another, and then after that... buck..buck...and then i almost made it...it was too big of a buck... i was holding on the the neck.... at the canter...and then i lost my grip.... down i went...my back hitting the ground... my helmet capped head meeting the ground also.. Angel (ironic isnt it?) canters to the driveway and stops right in front of the cross ties. as she run away i, who never yells, goes "ANGEL!!!!!!". my friend grabs her... i grab her and bring her back in to the field and we just to some walking and trotting. then i told Angel that i hated her (i always do when she's bad) and that she would get no sugar cubes :shock:. she kept looking at my friend like "can i go back to the barn now?". slowly but surely i am getting more fearless and i want to 'ride the wave' rather than get off.
and so today i experienced my first ever fall in my 4 years of riding... ok.. i didnt fall off.. i was bucked off
and i had to go to school with an increasingly sore neck and shoulder from falling... and the worst part... some one stole my paint brush!!!! voc. school... i am a painter.. like wall painter paint brush... and they ripped it out of the case and stole it... darn freshman.... i loved that brush, i kept it so clean and new..
I'm beginning to think that this university is doing all it can to keep me from getting any closer to graduation. Oh and the pipes in my room are leaking again and the centipede is back.
i felt like i was overreacting in school over the brush but i literally put it right behind me on the counter and then 2 freshies were working and i was going to get it and put it back in my locker and it was gone and the "case" was ripped like they forced the brush out D:< like... can you have a little respect?!?!? i loved that brush and i have kept it sooooo clean and it is perfect and then they go and take it.. and i have bad feelings because the next thing they did was collect all the trash to bring to the dumpsters >:O then i ask them with the broken case in my hand and they were like i didn't touch it, she touched it.... we left it in there.... um I DONT THINK SOOO.. it is a small room and you only worked in half of it..... :|
ok we got like 4" of snow last night and we have to school. um we could have still gone... now with this snow day we will have to use one of our days off for school
