People & Life

The thing about life is, is that you meet people and become friends, enemies, lovers,or just meet someone and never see them again. But its life and people will gain friends and lose friends. Everything happens for a reason and I have lost a friend. I believe I have lost that friend for a good reason. I have no regrets within our friendship.... but I do agree that its been over for awhile. I'm ready to move on and make new friends in High School. I have learned alot about myself within the past 2 years that I have moved here to SC. I learned that people can betray you and befriend you. I've learned that I am a beautiful, strong, independent, young woman. I can move on from rejection and absorb loving people that have always been there for me. I have learned (my favorite) to kill others with kindness. I stand up for myself now. I dont let people walk all over me or anyone I care for. I have learned all these lessons from my mother. She, also, a strong, beautiful, independent woman. And for those lessons I thank her. She has made me who I am today. And I am proud of that. I'm sure as life goes on she will still have lessons for me. I was recently told that this certain person didnt have a problem with me, but with my mom. I told her that if you have a problem with my mom, you have a huge problem with me. My life is beginning and taking the path that I want. I'm ready for the challenges, hardship, and broken hearts, that is in the future. I am ready to overcome this because of my mom. Thank You to my mom & Goodbye to my old friend.

Staying Busy!

Hey again!

Well things have been great at the barn latley! I had a jumping lesson on Badge yesterday and as always blew jenns socks off! Then a flat lesson today! Its been sooo hot so we've been keeping Badger inside during the day and out at night, his coat is also bleaching so keeping him inside is helping. I rode Bodie today too. He is progressing slowly but he's only 5 and hasnt been ridden in sooooo long. Denise has been teaching me lessons on how to drive a stick shift! We've been having lessons for about 3 to 4 months! I'm getting the hange of it! Thats all for now! <3 Sara

Bummer!

Well the schooling show was canceled this weekend because of hot weather. Sydney and Carly are upset. We are looking to go to the Clemson show in August. On a good note Paula is going to stay at J&B through July! She's gonna help us clean up the barn (powerwash.etc.) and build jumps!! I've been riding Bodie and he's progressing well. I rode him in the round pen to get him used to what I want and bending and relaxing at the poll and neck. Tonight I'm giving Syd's and Carly a lesson at 6:30 since its sooooo hot. Badger is doing great! Learning more dressage moves and excelling in the challenges Jenn gives us in jumping! ***Sara***

Somethings Wrong

Ok so I just tried to post pictures and the link came on but the pictures didnt. So I'll give the Blogging website a few days to fix "itself". Its happened to me before I just have to wait a few days. Anyway, Paula has brought Amador to J&B for 3 or 4 days for his feet to recover from all the rain. I am gonna give Carly and Sydney a lesson today for the upcoming schooling show at Mullet Hall. I'll bring Badger so I can ride and condition him on the trails when the girls arent riding! ***Sara

What the Heck?

OK so my slideshow would not show up everytime I logged in so thats why I took it off. I'll just post the pictures individually.

Shows!

Hey Everyone!

I've been to 2 shows in the past two weeks! The first show was the seaisland schooling show. I wasnt going to show but this lady asked if I wanted to do jumpers so that there would be more than 2. I got 2 thirds which is good though because I was only 3,4, or 5 seconds from the others. We also took my student ( Its so weird to say that!) Sydney. She made up JP's show name "Paint me Proud!" which is such a great name! She won her whole division! Jenn talked to the judge and asked what she thought and the judge said that she was perfect and she didnt have anything to fix!!! Then I went to a PSJ show this past weekend and I went into the 2'6-2'9 and got 3rd out of 6 riders and I also got 28$ off the show bill! Then I went into the 3ft class and got 2nd out of 3 people! We were gonna go into the 3'3 class but nobody entered. Badger did sooooooo good!! We've been practicing out speed and me letting him go a bit more. June 20th i'm going to Mullet Hall again for the schooling show with Sydney and Carly and maybe Bailey. Syd's is gonna go in Walk, Trot, Canter and so is Bailey. Carly is gonna go in walk trot. I'm taking Bodie in the non-restricted walk trot canter u/s, eq, and 18 in. Thats all for now! Pictures will come very soon! ***Sara***

Oh and Jenn got a new Toyota Tundra so we get to pull the 3 horse trailer now!!

Change of Plans!

Hey everyone! I've got good news! Jenn is gonna still be my trainer! We have talked and have decided that Badger needs more training and wont be able to do the things I do if I go to another trainer, since i'm progressing rapidly. So she's gonna train me through the Summer and Fall and we'll see where we are in the Winter. I'm not sure if i'm supposed to tell anyone yet so i'll wait for a few more days to tell you guys some great news! Anyway! I do have news that I can share. I've been riding Bodie to get him back into shape and maybe even get to show him in the Fall. He is a really really fast learner. Badger has been doing really well with his Dressage and Gymnastics. Were practicing for the upcoming PSJ show this weekend. Were only going Sunday because Jenn has to work Saturday. Thats all for now! ***Sara***
