How do you tell.....

So rode two horses last week. Pony kids' pony (who btw is a HARD ride at the lope I give the kid credit shes not easy!!) As well as the pally that they are looking at to replace the pony. I broke out the pally, then rode her on and off the following year when she came back for training. Shes not a kids horse. The former boss seams to think she is. He also seems to think that she is sound...... both of which she is not. They not only tryed to show her on saturday (ok yup shes lame) but then tried on sunday as well (no doupt buted to the eyeballs, I did work for this guy remember!)

I was really disapointed in him and the shit he tried that weekend. 2 of thouse horses shouldnt have been there. Hes taught me so much now im standing back and going "thank god im not working with him and ruining my name this summer."

Now im in the middle because we ended up telling the owner that the horse isnt sound (long time friend of both mine and PK's familys) so she called the trainer pulled the horse out of training, and is bringing the horse home this weekend. But seriously some one had to do somthing.

So now Im looking at next year. Will I be 'sound' enough that I can ride a bit? Could I even take in somthing already broke and show prep it? The plan is to start taking lessons after congress with a top trainer about 30 min from school. Hopefully he can give me some guidence... my other well has been contaminated.......

Yearling is good! Crossing my fingers we can beet the DZ Weedo colt in 2 weeks :)

one week one day

Left untill Im done work at the bank. Its not that I havent learned alot, or havent met people that will be friends for a long time. Its the same ness of it. Doing the same thing for the same people day after day after day after day afterday..........................

I miss figuring out the mind of the horse in front of me, watching that horse learn and devolop, exposing its personality to me. And I dont like people enough to want to be a teacher.

Although I guess I kinda am.... Pony kid is doing well, learing how to work with his horse and not just trying to ride. The pony knows what shes doing now, and we hit a pont where I had him push her around on her forhand to get her moving off his leg it took a few seconds but then it clicked, and they did perfect turns both ways. It was a lighbulb moment for him. Its not the pony its him that is the problem, and when he gets it right she will do what he wants no questons asked. BUT he has to get it right first!

A horse in training again..

Well the filly finaly showed up at the clients for boarding for the next month while she is in training. She was bad the second day but was much better today. I ended up lunging her with only one hand as my right was too swollen and sore to even hold the lung line. Moving good and acting good. Stood tied too :) The first time she kicked up a fuss but stood today for an hour without a fuss. Hopefully she will learn that she doesnt need to be in constant movemment to be happy.

Ok my list of Things you should know before you go into a bank:

If you havent had a shower in 2 days please put on some deorderent. You might not smell your self but we do

Just give me the money and the paper work. I will get it done. I will do everything. You dont need to hand it to me in 30 steps!!!

Dont bring in 30 cheques and expect me to process them one at a time and still be all happy. See above.

Yes other people use the bank too. Know what you want before you come up to me.

Dont come in at 5 min to 5 unless its desperate. (ie deposit cheque you need before weekend) If you just need cash, or to pay a bill, thats what the ATM is for.

We have rules that we must follow. We dont just do it to you to piss you off.
