Well, I’m all caught up.
I needed to stay after school until after 6pm for FFA. It was my school’s chapters end of year awards banquet. As president of my schools chapter, I needed to stay after the longest 😞 it was raining too.
My dad, mom, brother, and best friend came to watch. Of course...
Last full week of school! I have school until next Wednesday.
I need to steal my brothers Chromebook to do an essay… ten paragraphs 😞 I have two and a half done. It was due on Friday… I shouldn’t have much more homework after that!
Ah, okay. I always used woah as a slow down. My instructors horses didn’t know voice commands very well. Auggie knows them very well. 😂 I told him to woah, not knowing it meant stop and he turned in towards me immediately.
His old owner (my friends mom,) Sarah, told me what his voice commands...
Okay. I may have over exaggerated… I did get to go out there, just not ride.
I officially own a horse!
I got to free lunge him yesterday, which was super cool. I’ve only ever lunged a horse once, but that was with the actual lunge line. I’ve never free lunged.
Auggie knows voice commands. I’m...
Dad won’t let me go out there and ride because it’s sprinkling 🙄 it’s very light rain. We are going in town where the barn is anyways, but apparently telling the family no when they’ve been expecting us to come out there all day isn’t as rude as going out there when it’s sprinkling. I even...
Oh, he’s stunning.
I just now realized that you, Kelly, Rebecca and I all have grays 🥰 (it feels weird to call @Ponypoor Kelly and @RebeccaBoyd Rebecca… I don’t ever say an adults first name, but it just takes extra time to type your usernames 😅)
He scratches his face on a tree, so I’m not...
Rosie is a few years older than me… not much though. I think I can get a job in two or three years. I want to get an internship at a vet office, but I also do need a job.
I wish I could get an allowance for all the work I do at my farm. My parents won’t let me get one though.
I wonder if I...
That’s really good advice… expensive but good advice. Dad’s gonna be mad 😂
We are eventually hoping to get another horse to keep Auggie company once he moves to my farm. I say that we should get a mini pony, but dad doesn’t want one. He says that they don’t do anything besides look cute.
Russ...
Oh wow, that’s a stunning saddle. I’ll definitely look into the saddles. Can you use the trail saddle in shows? Like western dressage and barrel racing?
I hate the fact that tack is so expensive 🙁
I am eventually gonna get a western saddle, so any input would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve not read all the pages yet, so I have no idea if you said anything other than this…
Dirt is your gray, right? What breed is he?
Thank you! I’m paying for him tomorrow. I went to see him today and gave him some treats that I bought.
my brain isn’t working… what’s a balancer? He only eats two pounds of food a day (I think? Or maybe it’s one..) I’d have to take a picture of how much he gets tomorrow.
@Ponypoor and @RebeccaBoyd, what saddle brand would you recommend? I’d want a saddle that will last a long time. Probably an English all round saddle.
Tax: Ruby’s comb flopped over a few weeks ago and it’s adorable. I love this BR so much. She’s been chasing the chicks though.
Oh gosh, I probably should get breakaway stirrups. And a vest… I couldn’t sleep last night! I was too excited for sleep.
My riding instructor found out about it yesterday… I feel bad, but she’s happy for me. I’m pretty sure I will sometimes bring him to her for a few lessons every once in a...
