Maybe I am going crazy

OK , lets me start out saying Riz looked so darn cute in his new sheet and jammie. But lets get on another topic, letting a horse go. I am consdering selling Em, as most of yall know I have had her for a long time. But I just thought I would write a blog explaining how it feels to let go and have a new horse come into your life and get the great life my horses did.

About a few years ago I got a little 14.1h pony named littlejoe, he taught me so much and gave me the pastents to learn and accpet not to get mad or frustated when something went wrong. I was heart broken when I had to sell him. But I learned that there is a time and place for everything and the right people came along and I sold him. I cried my eyes out but who wouldnt? But as joe got to move on so did I!



Before I sold joe I got a crazy little mare, as I call big mare. She wasnt pretty or stunning at all and had a bad attitude. I literally was like what did I get myself into, I work with this mare for the longest time. She bucked me off and I got back on, she reared and I just held on. I have to saw this mare was driving me crazy, I thought I would never had a horse that would not try and kill me But in the end I love this mare more than anything, this mare was Ememablia, my current show horse. I have had truely some hard times, but I have to say I wouldnt be the rider I am today if it wasnt because of her. I recently decided to sell her as I like theres a time where I cant do anymore for her and she cant do anymore for me. It so hard for me but I want to make my dreams come true, if I had the money I would breed her and keep her but I think Im ready for a change.

Christmas time

well merry christmas everyone!! I am happy at the outcome of my christmas, my grandmother is paying for the shots for my 2 horses, which really brings a smile to my face as I dont have to pay for it!!!! also I got $175, which is going to Clemson in Feb. when I am taking Riz!!! I also got a hood for Riz and a new blue pony fly sheet for him too, plus me a new pair of boots and a new pair of riding pants. I got tons of close but I also got a mini ipod which I really need , now i can ride with it. My whole family got a wii!! which we got like 20 games and controllers for it! Plus I GOT A NEW PHONE, as everyone from the barn knows I needed one badly. Then my dog got TONS of bones.Have to say a great xmas, now on the horsey side. Holly, KJ and I went to the horse auction saturday and I have to say was alot of fun!!! I fell in love with Surrey, one of our new horses, babies, not really a baby anymore as she is 6 and 17h of piere stunningness!!! I only wish I had the money to pay board on her myself. We got a rubber, plastic bucket for Ems feed buckets as she is a termite eating all the wood.But I have to get back to family! Write more later!

Clemson

Well I will amke it short and sweet. Em loaded great!!! haha got to love a easy loader, we got there and it was like 20 degrees!!! big change from the 60's. Saturday we competed in Discpline Rail and got 1st out of 3 people, which one of the people in the class was my trainer, and one of my good friends horse, houston. Have to say that was so much fun! Sunday I showed in 1st level test 3, against 3 people. got 1st, and did novice combine training and got 4th as i stratched the jumping part as I have literally frozen, and feeling a bit sick. Then I did the high glambers and got 2nd, I have to say when Em refuses she must be sick or I am not riding good. I say she refused but did it to save my butt as it was into a one stride with a 2'9 fence and 3ft oxer I believe, but got to love her anyway. I have to say my motto everyone is loving, and I believe it, GO STRONG... OR GO HOME!!!

The girls

I just wanted to say, I might sounds crazy, but I think my barns butties, YALL KNOW WHO YALL ARE, actually took in a little of my blog I wrote and I see them forming into what kind of person they want to be, a family. I am so happy, and proub to see them stick up for me, in which they kinda did it without me asking. Nicole I am proub to say I think you found a horse that if you mold a little bit more can be your dream horse, you have learned a lot and have become a very nice riddder. And Paula, just great! Thats all I have to say. Keep your head up like it is right now, dont put it too far up, and you will make your dreams with the barn family, even if no one else is by your side. Gia, one talented little rider, lets just says you have big dreams ahead of you!.
This farm is a true family, and we dont get caught up in everything, personally thats the way I like it!

FYI

I thought I would let all of yall know about my current blogs. I wasnt trying to be rude to anyone. I stated my opionion in somethings. I listed a price because I have ment tons of people in the horse world that think just because there horse is $45,00 they think there better, Im not saying everyone is like that.I think if people cant state there opionion in a nice respectful way then they shouldnt say it at all. Please take in what I say and dont pick out everything I said and turn it around.

On a bettter note, Ememablia and I practiced for our dressage test today...haha that was fun, have to love her tho. GOt our leg yields down and the canter circle!!Jumping 2m should be FUN!!

was i right about the horse world?

I cant believe some people, if yall know me you know I love horses so much and give it my all. I have worked my butt off for what I have and I cant believe some people have the balls to comment my blog in such a mean way. I am not pointing out anyone in it, I was just stating what I think happens. Its sad but that is the horse world. I know no one has the balls to say the truth but it is, really think about it. If a horse that was $45,000 went into a ring that was $600, who would win? So for Rachel I want you to look at what you say and think do I really love this sport to be so rude to someone that has the same passion? And first of all I'm not rich or fat, and yes i do ride int tennies, and that was my good friend jumping my mare, and fine call me fat, do you really think it hurts me? Thats why its a passion, WE GO STRONG, OR GO HOME. Stay off my blog or be respectful.

Horse world gone mad!

I thought I would write a blog about the "HORSE WORLD" and respecting it. I noticed in my time riding horses( bout 13 years) and owning then that people in the horse world are mean and just plane rude. Every trainer I have been to have burned bridges with other trainers or trainers have burned them with them. All I have to say is if you want respect you got to give it. I am in horse back riding because it is a passion of mine, not a hobby, a passion, something I live for. The first thing I think when people dont give respect is, wow they dont love this sport they love the fame that comes with it, they love the rediculous price tag on there horse. I can tell you right now I know people who have a $600 dollar horse and can whip yall out of a blue riddon. All I am trying to say why is the horse whole going mad. It really doesnt matter if your 2 seconds late for the class in the showring, or forgot your course, lord, all we trying to do is have fun right?? Then why do so many people get yelled at by other trainers. I dont know, I quess I will never know. All I know is at the farm I ride/board at has passion, and has drive, we go strong or go home! That is my motto and I do live my it. I think all horse people should live by that, no greed!
