update

So, I don't know if you guys care or anything, but since I have a blog I figure I might as well post stuff on it. :-) And if you don't, I think I have some friends who would look forward to reading it.

This morning I got up early (ugh) to go riding (yay!). It was really awesome. I rode Tommy, who isn't exactly my favorite horse (he's a baby so he has his issues), but it was an amazing lesson. We did a lot of ground work, and jumped some 18 inchers (i can jump higher, but Tommy can't really so we dont). I'm so proud of him, he did really well today. I wish I had taken some pictures.
Then I stayed at the barn for oh...another 4.5 hours and worked my butt off, helping kids talk up, washing and grooming horses, and helping in lessons. It was HARD work, but totally worth it since its how I get to ride three times a week!

Just thought some of you would want to know (and hey, i think we're getting extra credit for extra blog posts!)
