I should probably write another blog.

So, a few weeks ago, i started(just a little) riding this holstiner(sp...?) tb cross mare, and we get along fairly well. We're still in the "NO I'M RIGHT" stage, but we're working out of it. I took her to a mini show a few weeks ago after only riding her for like a total or 45 mins. prior to said show. We got one fifth in one of the two 2'6" classes we did. There were some nice horses there(for a mini show), so i was pleased.
This past saturday, i rode The Princess cross country, and she was soooo happy to get out. Her nose was practically on the ground, and i was holding the buckle. She jumped everything, even though a log by some apparently monster-donkeys was not too appealing, she still did it. Out last jump toward home was a novice jump, and she was very proud of herself, so she decided a little victory gallop was called for.

I agreed.

Today before my lesson, when bringing Ashley up from her field, there was a DIFFERENT herd of monster-donkeys, which she thought she could ward off if she made her neck go as tall as possible,trot around me in a circle, and snort loudly three times.

The donkeys proceeded to follow us a short distance along the fence line.

She was pretty good in my lesson. A little fresh in the flat because one of her boy toys who lives in the field next to hers was in the lesson also. She is a big flirt. She calmed down eventually though, and our lesson was very successful.

I am going to florida tomorrow. I really hope it doesn't rain all weekend. That would not be fun.

LATER.
