I love you baby <3

As I opened my christmas gifts this morning (and last night for yall that know me) i realized that I love my horse more than anything. Almost all of my gifts were for that big hairy animal and thats what I wanted. Sassy is my everything. Shes my whole life, my whole world, the pop to my tart, the gun to my holster, and any other weird saying you can think of!;) I love my sweets to death and I hope even when I move on from her she can stay with me as a lesiure horse. When we first came together about a year ago I never thought I would feel this way about her. She just wasnt a horse that was very "lovable", but now.. gosh now,, I can safley say we are together. When I go to visit her she comes, when shes on the crossties we can stand for hours on end and blow into eachothers nostrils. I can stand there forever with her big old head on my shoulder and I dont want it another way. Yea sure she acts up sometimes (*cough cough feild the other day Sassy!*) but I can very easily forgive her for those things because well, she my baby, my sweets, my missy, and all the other little gay names I give her! I love you Sassy and I hope you be in my life forever, we made it this far, aint nothin gonna stop us now!!

wow,, some news

WOOOOW have I got some news for yall! So much has happened since the last time I made a post. First of all I am no longer riding with Holly. There are multiple reasons and I will not discuss them on here. Second, obviously I didnt go to Clemson but that is deffintally okay cause 1, it was suppose to snow up there this weekend and it would have been cold as bajesus, 2, I had three projects I had to do this weekend and there would have been no way I wold have been able to get them done and 3, The people that usually show with Holly were not showing with her that time so I dont thin it would have been that fun. Third, I am not getting much riding time! >:( it has done nothing but rain rain rain and its pissing me off!! I have rode twice in two weeks and one of those times was a trail ride. Sassy is getting fat and losing muscle and so am I!:P We really need to get back to work so if it could stop raining for a little I would greatly appreciate it!!! Fourth, we are clearing land! Yes we are back to work on clearing my daddy's land. The man who was suppose to clear it for us is avoiding contact with my dad so we are back to clearing it by hand. A tree here, a tree there, and fires hopefully a couple times a week we can get it done soooon! I cant wait till it is cleared and Sassy is out there! well thats about it but I will update yall on the rest of the year and how it goes soon! see ya

New things

So I have some new news to report! First of all is the show next weekend :D I am going up to Clemson next weekend for our second show together! We will probably be hauling Sassy up there by ourselves then meeting Holly for the whole kit and kaboodle of the show... I think I am doing a 2' and 2'3 hunters, probably a flat class or two, the low gamblers choice jumpers, and I wanna run barrels on Sassy!:) She was originally trained as a western horse and has some nice turns on her so I wanna see how well were gonna do in that department. I hope it'll be just as fun as in the summer! As for other news thats actually about it,, I have still been riding Sassy at least three to four times a week but I havent much time to ride Sierra as much as I would like to :( but hopefully this sunday me and my dad are gonna take them on a trail ride. My dad on Sierra and me on missy Sassy. It'll be funnn! See yall!!

Pictures from my last post

I did that whole post and forgot to put up the pictures!! haha. The darker horse is Sierra and well.... yall all know who Sassy is ;)

Sassy, Sierra, a new rider, and no post!

So a lot has been going on lately and I havent written about it!:P Sooooo lets start with Sassy.... She has been great lately! She had been going through a little stage where she wasnt really paying attention to me, but now she is going back to her old self! She is bending for me again and is jumping everything I point her at when I tell her to take off. She has also been off of her weight supplement and is still holding her weight well, Im so happy! Next to talk about is Sierra!! Sierra is Sylvia Williams horse. She is a 22 year old QH. That mare is fat, blubery, and thick!! haha. But she is the sweetest thing, I have been riding her for Syliva. For being 22 years old you would never guess it, she still has lots of energy and a springy little jump! I have been trying to get her to lose some lbs and get some muscle tone. I actually do think she isnt quite as fat as from two weeks ago when we took our first ride! hehe. I hope to be able to ride her at least twice a week but I still put all my effort into ol Sassifras so I dont know how often I'll be able to ride her but I can still lunge her and keep her working. Last new thing is a new rider for Sassy. One of Hollys riders, Chipper is riding Sassy in weekly lessons. I have only been able to see a tiny portion of one lesson but they looked pretty good, They just have to learn eachother and chipper has to learn how sassy ticks:P It will be good for Sassy to have a different rider every now and again. Well thats about it for updates... still looking forward to Clemson show in December!

finally some time to write

So I finally have soem down time to actually write on this blog. So the other weekend we took Sassy up to Stono and did some cross country schooling! It was so muh fun! And I could not believe how well Sassy did for me! She only refused once and it was the very fist fence so I was quite happy!! She behaved herself so well except for her "pacing"... my mare does not like to stand still! hehe. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Katie Drummond for hauling Sassy up there and holly for schooling me! There is pictures from that and they are on katies facebook and holly's blog. We also just got Sassy a blanket so she can stay all toasty warm on these getting cold nights! Other than that she has been doing very well. We have been practicing our hunters and Sassy is doing very well. well thats about it for now.... hopefully if my grades are good we will have a show to go to soon! ;)
