Common Courtesy

So here is my two cents:

If someone does not ask you for help when riding, then you shouldn't be offering help unless you are their trainer. You have no idea how far they have come with a horse or what the horse is like to ride. Everything is different in the saddle then what it looks like on the ground. For all you know the rider had a fight with a family memeber before they came out or is having a really bad day and feels self conscious about everything they do.
If they ask you for help when it comes to riding, then you may then speak and add your advice. Imphasis on the word advice. Do not be rude and act like a know it all. If you are giving advice it is likely that you have been riding longer and went through the same problems. If you have been through the same problems and want to help then you should ask politely if you can give a suggestion. There is no reason to be rude or negative about it because then your comment will do more deconstruction then reconstruction. And you will lose that persons respect. And do not under any circumstances try to act like you know how their horse is and rides. I guarantee you if anyone did the same to you, you would be highly annoyed. Every rider knows their horses kinks and can name off the list in a heart beat. So next time, remember this and keep your mouth closed unless you were asked to help. You are not their trainer and possibly not a trainer at all. Every single rider has things they can work on so go take a look in a mirror and work on yourself if you feel the need to criticize someone. 😉

Hold Up

I have my first essay for college. I low key love writing papers so I'm excited but I'm probably going to fail it because my teacher is hardcore with grades. Side note: every time my boyfriend texts me I automatically do this stupid little giggle like I'm 5. Someone please slap me. (my boyfriend doesn't like reading my blogs because he doesn't know if they are going to be sad or not so hopefully he won't read this so he can't bug me about it) I took a five hour nap... I have this cold/allergy thing and it plus school/work/riding just draining me of all energy. My boyfriend took his ASVAB today for the military and he did really well!!! When he told me I started crying because he has wanted it so bad and I'm so proud of him! PS: the title is the song I was listening to... Hold Up by Beyoncé because she is queen 👑

More Beginnings

I had my first English college class this morning!! 😬 The class itself will be pretty hard but the teacher had me cracking up so bad. He was explaining why grammar is important and gave a few teacher experiences. The first one was a sentence that meant to say "I hoard lots of books." but instead of hoard, the student wrote "whored". Then my teacher said he wrote beside the word "Does your mother know about this?". God. I think I was the only one who found it amusing. The other example said something like "The Union depilitated the Confederate forces." The reason this is so funny is because the student meant deBilitated. DePilitated means to remove ones hair... so my teacher then goes on to describe what it would look like if the Union forced their way into the confederates base and started shaving all the men and stating that they took their manhood. I thought this was the funniest thing. I was still chuckling for a good 5 minutes after he finis...

Fun

So first of all. I love my job but we were understaffed tonight because you know. It's a Monday. Not that many people come in during the week days. WELL YOU COULDV'E FOOLED ME TONIGHT! I was the only hostess which meant I was already doing the job of 4 people which would have been fine if a bunch of people didn't decide to come in at once and have a line to the freaking door. Luckily I had some help from my coworkers(waiters/waitresses) who sat some people for me while I was seating large parties and what not. It was stressful but I got through it. Also. I had to use my anxiety medication yesterday. Which I'm bummed about because it's frustrating not being about to control it and when it comes or what it comes from. Granted I know exactly what some of it comes from. The medication worked great and made me not give any you know whats about anything but it still sucks having to depend on medication to fix my many problems. Side note: My doctor is trying to find me...
