Hey,

Well . .. . I'm starting with yesterday. Like it or not, I don't really care, this diary is all about me and my boy Chinga, plus a few other things. .. but anyway.

So to yesterday. .. first off Chinga and I headed to our lesson . .. what a fun lesson. I got yelled at most of the time, so thats why my mum and dad pay her. To yell at me. But we both did learn alot.

Then we rode with Lisa .. . that was a great afternoon. We both enjoyed it and so did the two horses, we willl be riding together next weekend as well. We are planning on horse soccer, with the giant ball I brought for Chinga today that I am bouncing on now, while trying to type . .. ehhh yeah.

This morning I rode Chinga before breckfast, nothing like saddleing up at 5 in the morning to ride a cranky pony. He did well though, our last ride before he goes back into training mode.

With the big ball I bought Chinga, he will be meeting it for the first time this afternoon it could be interesting. . .. .

I also lunged Ben while Chinga was enjoying breckfast *sigh*. That pony is out to get me, he did okay. Minus the pulling and he will be perfect. Although he is leaving next week. Lets just say I won't miss him :lol:

I also free jumped Merlin, hehe lets just say he was scared of the poll so it was really free trot poll. Merlin is very timid. He is scared of people, I have finally been able to catch him .. .. . Merlin can be very painful sometimes.

Anyway, I'm off to play ball with Chinga, I will get pictures/video.

Maddie, <3 Chinga.

Yes he did :)

Today I woke up feeling sick but I headed out to feed Chinga anyway, instead of asking mum to go by herself. I just fed him, fly sprayed him and left. This afternoon it stromed and dad didn't know I was sick, so he picked me up from helping the Jrs to feed him. So we adventured out in the rain. I helped with the Jrs because I felt up to it, I'd slept all day and felt much better.

maddie you say you are sick, but can ride a horse???? if something is going to keep you out of school, it is because you are "sick" and you say you won't be back for atleast 4 days!! how sick are you?? you can go bounce a ball and ride yet you can't sit down and write somethings.!!! You looked perfectly fine yesterday!!!

so are you planning on coming to school????? Seeing as you feel "much better after you slept"

I am sure a good night sleep would have felt good too soooo you should be ready to come to school!

and you say you felt like you were going to faint THEN WHY DID YOU RIDE CHINGA IF YOU FELT LIKE THAT??? what if something happened like you fainted while riding and you fell off spooked him and them he trampled on you by accident????

I didn't ride when I felt like I was going to faint. We worked out its the fly spray. It has an effect for around an hour, its a new spray. No we will not be using it anymore, even though I feel better mum doesn't want to send me to school. The day I felt like I was going to faint was the day after I rode. I'm not that stupid.

Hello Everyone!

Well I haven't ridden Chinga for a week so today was our first ride with our dressage whip as well. I'm in love, he rode wonderfully, he responded great to the whip. We did a mini dressage test and then I got the translation I've been working months for. The walk to canter translator, he heald his head very well. I couldn't stop smiling. I love this horse. Then I took him down the trails for a cool down. We came back in the property and took a quick walk up the track and that was it. But no .. .. . I usually run him down the track and horses like routine so he took it as fast as he could, what fun.

Then while I cooled him out once again, I worked on two point, I rode for about ten minutes in two point and got my toes to point forwards without having to think about it, usually they point outwards.

The worlds most wonderful ride ever :) I really enjoyed our ride today, I've never been a fan of dressage and it wasn't exactly dressage but we did a mini test and I really enjoyed working with him on that. Tommorow we will do more dressage then some low cross bars :)

Hello Everyone!

I only got to see Chinga this morning and he got a lovely brush. I'm thinking about putting him on Muscle XL as I have heard it is good for topline building and muscle building -- anyone agree/disagree. I looked it up and there is a qoute from a website below,its also a cheaper muscle builder.

helps build the rump and strengthen the top-line (dressage, hacks, eventers and show jumpers).


I spoke to my trainer and organized a jumping lesson with her over the holidays, just have to pick a date. Before Christmas as after X-mas we are away at the farm, when I am at the farm I may not have internet acess, so I will write a diary and post it all in here when I get back :) I will also take tonnes of video and photos, or dad will. I am hoping to gallop him on the farm for the first time, I've never galloped him, only in hand galloped. I've never galloped before, apart from on Corby one day.

Then if all goes well we are going to race my aunty, as her two horses will be moving up there around the same time we are going up, although if we don't race we will just have lots of fun chilling out.

Well thats me for now,

Maddie & Chinga

Dear Me -- Since nobody replied to the last one!

Well today was awsome! We did imaginary free stlye dressage to two songs, Party In The USA - Miley Cyrus and Realeas Me. I had to use the music on my phone. So it wasn't very loud. I need to get some more batteries for my stereo. He rode wonderfully, one thing that annoyed me was my leg -- it just didn't want to be helpful today. More dressage again, I don't want to work him overely hard as I will be away on school camp for a week. But hopefully my new splint boots will arrive while I'm away -- I'm bidding on a pair of black ones on ebay.

I decided that our colour was going to be Apple Green, so if you ever see a horse wearing Apple Green under the name Sir Success. Thats us! I would like to do some more free style dressage tommorow. So I'm going to ask mum to pick up some more batteries for my stereo. I'm gonna make a CD with some fun songs and then some "Training" songs. I'd like to make a test as well instead of just making it up on the spot like today.

I'll post photos of the boots if I win them.

Hello Everyone!

What a wonderful ride today, mum brought the camara out and we did some jumping. Great fun, pony felt great and we had a great improvement in our landing. My feet were a bit off but they weren't shocking. My legs partly sucked because I have been jumping with long stirrups and the last time we jumped was over the tyre jump with Lisa, I promise to get video riding with Lisa on Saturday.


If anyone would like to see video fotage let me know, also if anyone is able to critique let me know.

His almost heeled completly, I'll try and grab some photos this afternoon. I'll upload the video once I add some from jumping on Saturday with Lisa. This afternoon we are doing some flat so I will get some photos for you guys :)
