Haha its exciting :) Not much going on - Skip's lame, Dad's at the barn with my brother, I'm here doing homework. What fun! Eh... so I'm blogging and talking to Monique on AIM. I should probably go do homework... I have two projects due Thursday and one due Friday...

Woah... a Whole Month?
I've been very busy lately... I have had time to come on the computer... but never long enough to sit down and write out a blog post. Soooooo... lets see what's happened since I blogged last time!! Hmmmm
-the weekend after I blogged was really exciting. Everyone was gone at Rolex and we had at least one group of people every day (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). After my lesson and the pony rides on Saturday, I brought Taco in and pulled his mane. He looks AMAZING! Then I started working with him to bring him back into work. We did half an hour of walk/trot work undersaddle. Then Sunday, we did 20 minutes of walk/trot/canter work on the lunge line and then 10 minutes of walk/trot work bareback. In my lesson that weekend I rode Gino with the younger group of kids because my whole lesson group ditched me and went to Rolex :( They were just learning leg yeilds so Gi and I had a little refresher on what leg yields SHOULD be like... without the rearing.
-The next Friday, I was called out to the barn to help work with some of our new horses. Alex had me groom and ride a little black leapard spot Appaloosa named Skip. He was really nice... but has a bit of a rearing problem. I have "adopted" him and he is now my project! I think he could turn into a great little pony after some work. I also rode Taco for one last workout before we had a lesson together! We did walk/trot/canter on the lunge to warm up for about 5 minutes and then walk/trot/canter undersaddle for about 45 minutes. I rode him on Saturday for my lesson and he was great! I'm really proud of him for listening to me for a whole hour. Skip:
-Then..... I went to ENGLAND!! For a week. To visit people. And... to go to BADMINTON! Once I get all of the pictures on the computer, I'll post the photobucket link. There was only one competitor from the US and that was Bonnie Mosser. After the dressage she was in 18th place out of 110! She retired during XC though.
-This weekend I had another lesson on Murphy. We were working on changing leads over fences. He was awesome! We got every change and he really took care of me. We really fit each other size-wise. It was a great lesson!
Hopefully I will be able to blog more. I have another HUGELY busy week this week.... yeah. Bye!
