Happy Friday!
my parents absolutely
love cheese straws, it’s a southern thing I guess.. every single store in the area has them.. I don’t absolutely love them but I don’t hate em, kinda in between.
the weather is extremely bi polar, and at this point I really think it just wants to make me mad, it went from 70°s and high 60°s for 3 days to now 50° and dropping, UGH.. the high tomorrow is in the low 40°s, my gelding is suffering over here with me, he doesn’t do good with extreme weather changes, and I get headaches from extreme changes so then I’m mad all the time, lol.
This week has been crazy and pretty bad so I’m glad for it to be over.. I can’t seem to concentrate on anything, I’ve been thinking about my gelding so much this whole week and what to do, the really good trainer I wanted for him is just too busy to work with him, so I’m going to get in contact with my old instructor (one of my first English instructors) to see if he’d come out and work with my gelding or at least give me his opinion on him, he’s retrained and sold a bunch of ottbs and I got to watch some of it when I was doing lessons with him.. but I don’t know if he’d be up for it.
I stopped by my parents yesterday, chatting and we talked about my gelding, they said I should sell him and get a warmblood that I absolutely know could take me to the 3’-4’ rated hunter shows, and as lovely as it sounds, I’m in deep with my gelding, I’ve committed %110 with him and can’t stop now.. but I’ll get another trainers opinion on him and if he’s just going to be low level, I’ll probably put some more miles on him and sell him, as much as it would kill me to let go of him.. I want the best and happiest life for him
I’m heading down to Florida in a month or two for a business trip and I thought about checking out some horses while I’m down there, especially some warmbloods.. I looked at one yesterday online that I absolutely loved and would just be fun to finish off and show.. but I feel pretty bad for that since I want to finish my gelding off before thinking about another hunter prospect, we’ll see what happens.
he free jumped 3’9 today, pretty impressive but the spring in his step and the excitement just wasn’t there. I set the jump about 2’ and he flew over it like it was way bigger.
Weekend plans.. maybe riding, just relaxing.
dinner.. oh no I have no clue! I’m getting together tonight with my fam and some friends so maybe snacks or finger foods..like mini tacos?
I just put away all my Christmas stuff, noo!! I’ll miss the Christmas tree and the lights, it really lit up the living room.. do people usually leave their Christmas stuff up this late? Lol.
Reading some of the other threads.. even though I’m as country as it gets, frog legs scare me. Lol!
Sometimes we make snow icecream but add cream to the snow instead of the sugar mixture.. I don’t remember exactly what we did since it was my grandmas recipe..
I doubt we’re getting any snow this year, next week calls for warm weather again! 1% of me wants snow, the other 99% is like no way.
It’s been so nice and dry here, no rain! Yay!
Starting Sunday it’s going to rain, and then rain for like another couple days😑.
I’m exhausted, ideally I could go sleep in the nice bed of shavings with the horses or even maybe the field

😆
Dragging myself out to the barn soon to do evening chores.
views from the farm.
hope everyone has a safe and good weekend.
