Jumping More!

Hey people who read my blog.  I was talking to my mom a while ago and she thinks that I am not getting any better in my riding.  I know I am but she does not think so.  She thinks that the horses i am riding are too easy for me and she wants me to have a challenge on a harder horse.  I think I am fine on the horses they have there but of course I have to listen to her.  So when we were talking about this she mentioned maybe leasing a horse just so I can get used to a challenge and get better on the one horse before moving to the next.  I would love to lease a horse but I think that it will be a ton of money.  So even though I hopefully would get better I don't want to because of the money.  I have a cousin who is an amazing rider and her mom and dad got her a horse a little while ago.  She loves her horse with all of her heart and I think that the horse loves her too.  But when I talk to her mom or dad about it they say it is a gift that keeps on costing.  Well I know that it will never stop costing them  money to own a horse.  It is a living thing and you need to take care of living things, and not to mention the time and effort it takes to own the horse.  My cousin is at the barn every night and in the summer sometimes almost all day.  I think that she is soooooo devoted to riding and she would give anything to be on a horses back.  But when we come to visit her at her house I want to play around and have fun, but after spending a day at school, doing homework, doing chores, and at the barn she is soooooo tired!!!  So back to me, I talked to my mom resently about the leasing and she thought I was crazy then I told her it was her idea and she remembered that and she said even though it was her idea she will not do it.  I am fine with it and I am happy that i will still be riding the same school horses at the hunt club.  So I have been jumping so much latley.  My coach showed  me a new way to approach the jump and I just flew over it!!!  I am so happy that I am getting even better with every lesson.  She just told me to count the strides before the jumps and then I will two-pointe at the right time and it worked perfectly!!!  That is all I have to say now thanks for reading!!! Good Bye

Jumping

I am very happy because yesterday when I was rideing i was talking to my coach about jumping oxers.  She told me that I am ready to jump them but I am not confident enough because of my big fall.  I am happy because she wants me to jump them and because she wants me to be confident that hopefully means that i will be rideing my favorite horse to jump on.  His name is Tucker and he is amazing to ride and his jump feels like he never left the ground.  I am so exited and I do like the hunt club but i do miss SpringBrook.  Good Bye For Now.

Hi.  Sorry I have not typed in a while but i am here now.  So I have lots of news.  I am not riding at Springbrook any more and that is the sad thing but now i am riding at the hunt club again.  The hunt club is where i first started riding.  So i am happy to be back and there are a lot of new horses there from when i was there three years ago.  i have been doing so much to get my confidence back after my huge fall.  Oh i never told you about my fall.  well a bit ago i fell off my horse after a jump and my horse almost stepped on me but he stopped right before i was squashed.  I love that horse.  well back to what i was saying, it has been really hard to get confidence for jumping but my coach has been really helpful.  she always tells me that i cant think to much about the jump because i will just get scared but if i just think that "hey this so fun and not scary!"  i don't over think the jump and i have been getting better.  Oh and the best thing is, are you ready, are you sure, absolutely sure?  well there is a person at the hunt club who owns two horses and she wants me to exercise her horses for her!  I am so happy.  that means that i will be riding more than once a week.  YAY!!!!!!!!!!  and also i can ride my bike to the hunt club so it is easy to get there!  YAY HORSES!!!!!!!!  Bye i love Horses!!!!!!!

Yay a win!!!!!!

Cool! On Saturday I got to go to a horse show and jump in it!!!  My Mom Dad and bro. was there! It was my first time jumping in a compitition so I was a bit scared.  I also told my family to not think that i was going to get a first place ribbion.  So there were 3 classes that i was in.  A flat class and 2 jumping classes.  So in the flat class i got a second place.  I was happy with that and in the 2 jumping classes I felt like i did a horibble job so i thought i would get third but in both of them i got firsts!!!! Just like my last show 2 firsts and a second. So every one was proud of me and I was very very very very very happy!!!!!!

Oh Famous!

Oh I am getting to be a better jumper!  There is a horse at my barn that is an up hill horse.  He has a smooth trot and a nice canter.  But the best thing about him is his jump.  So on tuesday I went to the barn and found out that I was riding a diffrent horse.  Yeah I was scared but I knew that I would like him.  Once I got on him in the arena I could feel how powerful he was.  So when he started trotting I felt at home because he was very good and so sweet.  He is a retired eventing horse so you could just tell that he would be good at jumping.  So when I got to jump him I got scared, I had seen him once in the ring with another rider jumping him and because she did not leg him in his canter he stopped right before the jump and the girl kept going so that was when I got scared of him but I knew not to feel scared on this horse.  I knew that he would be good for me.  So I jumped him the first time and he was very good so we raised the jump and got to the 4th hole on the standerd then we stopped but I loved him and when I get back on Tuesday I will ride him again!  Soooooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!!! The first video is of me and Cochise and the second is of Famous try and find out whitch horse is up hill and witch is down hill!  

Oh what to do?!

Well I went riding yesterday and it was great.  I was cantering most of the time so it was fun.  I got to jump a few times and I did well with that except that because the jump was so small he just trotted right over them.  But it was still fun.  And I might get to ride again today!  It will be fun! Bye!

Horse show!

Sorry I have not written in a while but I just finnished a horse show at my barn.  I am so happy.  I entered in 3 devisions and got 1st place in two of them and 2nd place in the other one.  The first devision was a walk trot canter warm up.  I was really proud of the way I cantered and trotted and walked.  But I think that I did the best in canter.  The next devision was a warm up over poles.  It was going track left and I got 1st in it.  But in the third devision that I did I felt like I did a horible job and I knew that I did.  But to my suprise I got second place!  One day before the horse show I told my self that I wanted to come home with at least one blue ribbon and I came home with two!!!  I was so happy.  In my first show at that barn I was entered into the same divisions that I was this morning and I got all 3eds and there were only 3 people.  Now I know that I improved because of my ribbions.  I am so happy.  I called my grandma and told her the news but I guess she was on facebook already because right after I got my ribbons my dad took a picture of me, my ribbons, and my horse.  I am so proud of me and so is my whole family!(exept for my brother because he really does not care.)

BLANK.

I do not know what to name this post so I named it blank.  Now I just finnished reading my cousin's blog and I thought that that would be the only horsey part of my week........and it was. (see how I lead you up their thinking that I had more horse things in the rest of the week)  But every day I have been thinking about horses and I have been 'cantering' around the house and jumping over random things like a lunatic so that must count for something.  Altho I love to be like a horse with my cousin.  It is sooooo much fun!  Because I have nothing elce to talk about I will talk about horses.  They are big, strong, nice(most of them)...(if you treat them right) and they are good at running...(some of them)...(if they are the right breed).....(if you train them right.)  So that is all I want to talk about because I am getting very bored of typing so happy new year and i will try to write soon! :)

Hummm :(

I am so sad.  I did not get to ride on Tuesday.  Our family had nothing to do.  My mom just cancled it for no reason!  I was so sad.  I really wanted to try my new leadrope and the polo wraps.  It was a sad day on tuesday for me because I knew that there was a non-horse-filled night just mocking me right infront of my face.  *sigh*  So that is my status report for this week.  (not a very happy report.)

My horsey Christmas

I love Christmas it is fun for the whole family. I also love what I got. I got a pack of polo wraps and they are the perfect color for the horse that I ride most. Also I got a cute lead rope! I love the pattern it is three different shades of blue. My favorite color. The colors are winded up. Also I got the new iPod touch. I am writing from it now so I am not sure if I can gee the picture of my polo wraps and the lead rope on to the blog but I will try now......I just tried and it did not work and I don't want to re-type this in the big computer and download the one picture. So that is it and have a happy new year!!!

Sorry!

When you see what time I posted at, it is wrong I just finnished that last one at 11:25 and this one at 11:27 bye now!

JUMPED!!!!!!

I am very happy I jumped so much yesterday!  I got to jump a line of verticals!  It was very very fun.  But I was scared to.  When my horse jumped the line for the last time he was tired so he just jumped the first one then his hind legs hit the jump so that startled me a lot but I calmed myself down before the next jump and cleared the next jump perfectaly!  Well that is what everyone said.  So Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!  3 days until Christmas!

Sorry

I never get time to blog durring the week!  My week is so so so buisy!  But I had to tell someone about my riding on tuesday.  It was just as I predicted I had to jump a lot of  verticals I only got to jump one cross rail!  But it was fun.  When I jump on the horse that I usualy ride my instructor tells me that right wen my horse hits the ground his hind legs are just clearing the jump so his but bumps in to mine if I put my but down to fast.  Also she told me that that is the only reason why I am scared.  I think that she is right.  When the saddel comes up well I am going down it pushes me forward up his neck so it feals like a am going to fall off!  And no one likes to fall off.  So I kept remembering that all through the lesson so wen I jumped I remembered that and I was not scared at all.  My riding instructor was proud of me and I was proud of myself too!

Christmas!

There is only 11 days until Christmas!  For me in school days there are only 4 days left until Christmas break!  I am so exited for Christmas!  Also I get to go riding today so that makes me happy.  But also scared because I know that I will jump more verticals so that will make me scared but it is still fun!  So Merry Christmas and...... Ta Ta for now!

Tree!

Sorry I don't have a picture of it to show you but we got a christmas tree.  We went out to Lowes and we got a christmas tree!  That makes me happy!  I love christmas so getting a tree just makes me think that we are very close to it.  I am sooooo exited!  Anyone would be.  Now we have 13 days until christmas if you are looking in school days for me there are 5 days until the start of christmas break!  That is only one more week!!!  I am so exited to get out of school but I will also miss it I love it.  Sorry that that was not about horses but as you can see I just love christmas.  Remember 13 days until christmas!Ta Ta!

Mad!!!!!!!!

I looked at the callback list and I did not get the part.  I was so mad but I will be okay.  Now to the real subject at hand.  I might get two riding lessons in one week!  I am sooooooo exited!  It will be great to get that much practice in one week.  I might get them on Saturday mornings!  It might hurt to get in that much riding but it all is worth it.  I would be so happy to get that.  So that is all I can think of to say so have a good night Ta Ta!

I'm Bored!

This is sooooo boreing!  I am sitting at home on my laptop with no one to talk to!  My brother is home but who would want to talk to him?  *laugh*  I wish I was out riding!  I realy realy want to get a horse but my mom says that it is to much work!  I would give up school for a horse!(I bet anyone would)  The only reason that I am writing is that, again i say it i am bored to tears, so I will blaber on about nothing really.  Oh I have a cat that is just like a horse!  Well not realy but she can go just as fast!  She can probubaly do a race against a horse at a full gallop and win.  I am not jokeing! She is a fast cat.  What can I talk about?  Hmmm.  I will talk about my family.  I have a mom a dad and a brouther but my favorite person in the world (other than my parents that brought me into this world)  is my awesome cousin.  She has a blog and she is the very best person in the world!  I love her so much she also is a riding maniac.  She rides almost every day!  It never gets tireing for her or me! Well that is all I can think about untill tomarrow but I will probubaly get another post in about random things by the end of tonight.  Read my blog tomarrow to find out if I get into the last callback!  Ta Ta for now!

Scared!!!!!!!!

On Monday I had to audition for a lead part in the school play!AHHHH!  I was so scared but I did a great job.  The day after that the callback list was up.  I got a callback for the lead!  I think that that is really cool. So today after school we had the callbacks. (so scared!)  I did great and the directors would not stop complementing my singing!  That made me happy.  There is one more callback and we will find out who gets the callback tomorrow.  I don't know if I even want to look!  I really want this part and if I don't get it I will be bummed out.  The play is Guys and Dolls.  Luckily I know what the play is about because we rented it from the library but I am still scared about the audition.  I know that this is not about horses but I need to tell THE WORLD!!! Ha ha just kidding!  All the girls that were in the callback were amazing and I hope I was too!  There was a girl there that is always in the play because she loves to act and she is really good at it.  I was so happy when she said that I was amazing.  That made me feel very very good about myself.  I am so scared to see who will get in the next callback and I hope it will be me!

Sup

I am so proud of myself!  Two days ago I went riding and for the first time I jumped a vertical!  It was very scary but it was fun.  I am so happy!  I wish I remembered to bring a camera!  I thought of it when I got to my stable.  I was sad but I still had fun!  This also was the first time I jumped a full course.  It was 4 jumps but it was tricky to get to the next jump.  After my riding I was so happy! I jumped so much that when it was over my horse would not let me get off him.  He thought that I would ride him more!  I am very happy right now and I think that I did a very great job~!
