over already??

so i still can't believe that christmas is over already. it went by so fast! this christmas i recieved, a updated show outfit (i don't think the one from when i was 11 still fits! LOL), a new waffle pad, a wither relief pad for my girl sassy, a new sweat scraper (lost my old one) and a bunch of other little barn items. i also got socks! (you know i love my socks!!) about five pairs of knee highs to wear riding! i also got a hunter green saddle pad from sara and socks (YAY) and nail polish from janet! thanks guys!!! i also can't believe how warm this christmas was!! it was so warm today that sara and i decided to give badger and Sassy a bath. Sassy did well except for the roll in the stall shavings at the end. oh well, i still love her. i can't wait till our first show together!

Update

Just an update! all has been going well dow at J & B right now. Sara and Badger have been working on their dressage... extended trot, flying changes on strait streches of the ring, ect. Denise has been riding Jp and doing great!! jumping like a pro Denise! Gia has been working on bounces and other jumping things with Jp. Carly and Sydney are working on their weekly lessons and are improving greatly! almost ready to canter guys!! and me... well, Sassy and I (put my first payment for her down today!) have been working on just about everything! we have to get her head down cause i want to do hunters so i'm going to try a martingale on her soon. she is also becoming more confident in her jumping and is learning to do her flying lead changes so much more smooth and slow. I can't wait till she is completly mine and i can give her a haircut!!

Sassifras pictures!

yay! the pics are in! so these are few pictures from a lesson with jenn. Sassy is gettining better and better in her jumping careers. ahhhh... now if she could just get her head down. but anyways the pic of me in the air jumping her... lets focus on the horse here. i know my position SU-UCKS! but look how good sassy's form is! what happened was it was the first time we had jumped the tinsel and she hesitated before it, i dropped her, and i ended up ahead of her motion. it looks like i'm going to fall but i ddin't! and for those who have not heard i decided to buy Sassy! zee is just to big of a risk considering i don't really know his health history. so Sassy it is! i can't wait!!!!

foxhunting

So today we all loaded up and went foxhunting at middleton! the real thing too. i could have gone to it aswell with Sara and Gia but i really didn't fancy riding Sassy at a gallop around hounds, lot's of shouting, and whips! oh well, next time mabey! not that there were not problems. out at the barn at 7:00 in the morning and everything is loaded up and... Badger won't get on the trailer! we tried for 20 minuets! talk about annoying! so Sara ended up taking Jack which she was not really happy about but you know, things happen. All and all it was a fun and learning experience! i can't wait until the next one.

my girl

This is my girlie Sassy! or Sassifrass (show name). before i get my horse this is the horse i ride. we are working on our jumping right now. she is pretty unsure and uncordinated but we will work on it!
