So...............

I think my horse is a faker!  lol!  i think he has learned that if he is "lame" he doesn't have to work so he acts like an idiot, makes himself "lame", walk all "owwiee" when I'm around, but canters and gallops in the pasture like there is no tomorrow!

So I had a lesson on him today and we worked on over-correctin his head, leg yeilding, and half halts all at the walk, trot, and canter and he did perfect!  It was like he hadn't had a three month break!  Not even a single toss of the head!  It felt amazing!  He got all of his transitions perfect and Shelly says what I have always known which is he has a lot of potential!  So from now on I will not beleive him when he shows "lameness" and I will just take it easy just in case!  I can't wait for my next lesson!  Today felt SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO good!

My faith in him has been restored!  I am not selling him!

We Will See

I'm gonna try to get on Sebastian again today if the weather permits but I have a couple things I need to take care of first today so hopefully it doesn't start rainin.  I'm gonna ask him to canter today and hopefully I get a good response.

I had a job interview yesterday (on the spot so its a good thing I dressed really nice) at the Banfeild Vet Clinic in West Ashley.  I also sent an email out to a barn that is hiring (though I don't know which barn it is) and I am gonna send them my resume today once my mom and I are don't workin on it.  So cross your fingers and say a prayer that I get one of those jobs please!  I sent out other emails to other places but those are kinda like last resort places.  I really don't wanna work there if I don't have to.  So hopefully I get the barn job or Banfeild!  Hooah!

ROUND....DOES ANYONE REMEMBER?

Here we go again.  after taking a couple months off of riding...again...I finally got on Sebastian again yesterday!  We lunged for about 20 minutes though before I got on him and I got on him in the roundpen (I wasn't takin any chances).  We only walked and trotted though.  He gave me a little attitude when it came time for me to ask for the trot but I pushed him through it.  He actually, at the end before I decided to quit, went into the perfect dressage form!  His back was round, his head was down, his nose was tucked in, and he was soooo smooth I felt like I was doin a sittin trot on a cloud!  It was perfect.  When he did that I was debatin on whether to push for the canter or not...until I got a sign.  The gate to the round pen swung completely open!  So I took the sign to heart, turned his head away from the open gate and dismounted.  He did alot better then  I though he would!  Unfortuantely I can't get out there today but we will see what we get accomplished tomorrow!

By the way life is crazy so when I don't write on here regularly please don't hate me!  lol!
