Dressage

Okay so the first four pictures are from my dressage lesson Saturday with a trainer from Charleston. I learned so much from her!!!! Not only did I learn a lot but she helped me with Juliet on so many problems that I have been struggling with only after a 45 minutes lesson after never seeing me ride or seeing Juliet!!! Do you know how freaking amazing you have to be to be able to do that. One of Juliet's problems is leaning and pulling on the bit and then just hauling ass. So to all the equestrians that read my blog, no. I don't normally ride with my hands that high. These were just screenshots of the trainers tip to me. Every time Juliet decided to lean on the bit I had to slowly carry my hands upward until she stopped and then she got a release. I rode her today(the last picture is from today)using the same method and HOLY COW! I'm so happy I did a lesson with this trainer. I still can't get over it! Oh and she had those fancy ear piece thingys(you can kind of see it i...

Temporary Solution

So remember how I said Juliet was lame on Tuesday well with the continuation to that whole matter: so the farrier came out Wednesday to fix her palmar angles and what not and I rode her Thursday and she was perfect! Like. We could've been in the dressage oylmpics(obviously over exaggerating   because that is so very extremly out of my riding level). But seriously her head carriage was my goal for everytime I ride. Moving along, I rode her today and what the actual heck? How do you go from perfect to lame in a matter of 24 hours. Oh yeah. That's right. ITS BECAUSE HORSES ARE THE MOST ACCIDENT PRONE THINGS EVER CREATED!! So I gave her bute and put bute in her food for the AM and hopefully she will be ridable for my dressage clinic tomorrow. I wouldn't normally try and fix this with a temporary solution but I already payed for my clinic so I plan on doing it. So for now the solution will be temporary and hopefully the bute will work. If not then I am screwed. Side note; I ha...

Missing my Passion

Freaking mood swings man. I was happy, then hella tired, then annoyed,  then tired, then more hurting, hella happy and energetic, and now I'm sad. I haven't been this sad in a long while. It rained tonight which is why I probably remembered this. Whenever it rained Uma's corarnary bands around her hooves used to get super white. I really miss that. I used to get a small jolt of happiness everytime I got her from the pasture after it rained because of this small detail. I just realized that Uma was my passion and inspiration. Not just for riding but for everything. School, work, social life, riding .... living.

DOG

I MET A WONDERFUL JAPANESE AKITA NAMED DOJO TODAY! HE IS MY BOYFIREND'S BEST FRIEND'S DOG AND I WANT HIM. HE IS GREY AND WHITE WITH A DARKER FACE AND HE IS SO FLUFFY AND I WANT HIM. I ALREADY SAID THAT BUT OH WELL!!! ~ Guess who's pony is lame again πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Yep. Except this time Juliet is off in her left front instead of her right front. Her left was suppossed to be her good foot... FML right?! I sent a video to her vet and farrier. Her farrier will shoe her tomorrow and maybe put gel inserts/pads in her hooves if the vet agrees to it. I have a dressage lesson Saturday with a trainer from charleston! Juliet needs to get better! ASAP Also my cat has an eye infection I'm pretty sure and my other cat has a severe UTI. All my animals are falling apart 😭 Side note: You should go watch Narcos on Netflix unless you are a child... then don't do that. Go watch Happy Tree Friends. It's basically the same thing but less realistic and not Spanish and no drugs and ...

The New Meets The Old

How cool is it that I get to download Windows 2016 for free just because I am a Tri-County student. I am currently waiting on it to finish downloading so I can copy and paste my essay into windows from google docs. That is what my professor told us to do because apparently the website that we turn it on won't accept anything but Windows format. I am going to be screwed if it doesn't download... I would have downloaded it sooner but I worked both yesterday and today. I was also with bae the past two nights. OMG. Y'ALLLLLLLL! I brought my boyfriend out to the barn yesterday(for the second time) evening because he had been bugging me about wanting to gallop. I had told him a multitude of times that he would fall of. He freaking tried to convince me to let him ride in an English saddle again. I obviously did not let him because if he happened to gallop, let alone trot, without something to hold on to then he would have fallen off and been trampled. And I would not be okay with ...

Ineptitude

AMERICAN HORROR STORY CAME BACK ON TONIGHT BUT EVAN PETERS DIDN'T APPEAR YET SO IM BITTER-SWEET ABOUT IT! HEY. ALSO. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANY AMERICAN HORROR STORY YET THEN YOY SHOULD GO BINGE WATCH A SERIES OR TWO.... OR ALL 5 AND RECORD THE ONE THAT IS AIRING. (I'm going to stop screaming now). On the low I have an addiction to the show(probably so I can watch Evan Peters). Which is rather odd considering I absolutely HATE horror shows/movies/etc. I haven't even been in a haunted house before and most people my age go to haunted houses for fun. Then there is me. You could not pay me or give me anything to go into one. Don't get me wrong. I lovvvve adrenaline but I rather not piss myself in the process. Ya feel. I screamed like a small child an overabunant about of times within the hour show. So I turned in my rough draft today for English. Long story short, I was one of the very few people that only had one or no errors. I was quite elated too because my teacher ...

Scandal

So I had my first anxiety attack in a while today. For the past couple of months I have had reasons for my anxiety but honest to goodness I have no earthling idea why this attack came when it did. When I tried to control it by controlling my breathing I almost passed out. It didn't help that I was riding at the time but still. So when I got home I engulfed myself in writing my illustration paper for my English class which I finished about an hour ago. It was about Schadenfreude(which is a German word that means the enjoyment of others misery). This is going to either sound relatable or you will think I am crazy evil. But I find random pain hilarious. I'm sorry but if I see someone get hit by a frying pan I'm going to laugh. Side Note: I feel like Caprisuns are over rated. If you really take the time to taste them, they are not any good. Granted that is just my opinion. Anyway, I'm now engulfing myself in blogging and Scandal (Netflix). Side Note: American Horror S...

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 BeyoncΓ© because she is queen πŸ‘‘

Lately

Nothing much has been going on lately. Just school, work, boyfriend, and horses. A little to repetitive if you asked me so let me briefly explain. School is good. I bought a Mickey Mouse shirt this morning so I could get extra credit on my gov/Econ test so my grade went from a B to an A. Work is good because money is good. So I'm pretty sure that me having to stand up straight for as long as I do on the job is messing up my back even more that it already is. I guess that means more trips to my chiropractor. My boo thing is perfect. I don't know what else to say. He's a fantastic human being who has accepted my strangeness and he is mine so I'm forever pleased with life. I gave Juliet her first full fledged bath in like 2 months. I trimmed her whiskers, cut her bridle path, and even trimmed the hair that touches her coronary band... Yes. I'm obsessive. I know. This is completely and totally random but if you think about it, trust is such a fabricated idea. Tru...
