So today was really productive... I woke up fed the horses
then went to work on G and Red. I warmed
up G first and then took him to the field for a ride. On the way I fixed up all
the old jumps Nats had set up in the top of the field then carried on with the
ride. Now when Aly says to take G for a gallop I’m like woohoo! So I get to the
top of the fence and I’m jogging along the fence line and I’m about to ask him
for the loap, he reads my mind and boy he’s gone!! Getting faster and faster...
Daym this little morgan horse is fast!!! Like you have no idea, I think my eyes
were watering in the first twenty seconds!! So I had a really amazing ride on G
today and then was off to ride Red.
Red, omw, I love this horse, he is a liver chestnut, yes
this is me so of course it’s a chestnut. I spoke about Bree riding Red earlier,
and he was skittish and had his head way up with her. So I just wanted to keep
him as relaxed as possible, he likes when you use your voice, so I took
advantage of that. I worked him a little in his small pen, he had his head low
and was relaxed on a short rein and then I took him out to the grass field. Aly
showed me how she wanted me to work on his backing up and his spins, I worked
him for about two hours and he started getting there, he was a lot better by
the end of the ride. It is so amazing how my ‘arena’ is pretty much oat grass fields
that go on forever and ever! ^^) ! Aly got a third of the grass field mowed today
which is pretty cool. We are getting there! J
Tomorrow I have to see if I can figure
out how to thread the string for the bailer!! Eeep, going to try bail our own
grass for the first time!
It is really so pretty here at the Ranch!! I am definitely
starting to fall inlove!
So its independence day today and we went to the lake at
about three. So I’m starting to become this real brave sausage, and I think I
might have bigger and tougher balls than some men out there!! I am absolutely
terrified of heights, but about three weeks ago I climbed the Highest Indoor
Climbing Wall in the World!! So I think I deserve a pat on the back for that
one. BUT Today, I decided that I would attempt to not be a pansy and would jump
off a rock into the lake... Yeah, me! Anyway Aly and I climb the rock face and get
to the top of this one rock, I convinced her to jump with me and its like – 1 –
2 – 3 – JUMP, and we hit the water after falling 3 metres down. So now I decide I’m going to put my big
girl panties on and get higher! Well, I got to the top, and its a looooong way
down from there. I give myself the” you can do it” speech, and I don’t convince
myself I’ll be fine for like the next 15
minutes... OMW, was it high. So eventually I have boats and hoards of people
stopped because they want to see me jump off this monster of a rock, they are
cheering and screaming. So I took this as my opportunity to just do it! And
heck I counted to three and freaking jumped off a 6.5 metre rock into the
lake!!! ^^) So I am really proud of myself at the moment! I’m still not over my
fear of heights, but I can now rock climb like a demon!!! J It was fun to play on the boat and swim in the
lake, the water is soo good! We left the Lake at about seven thirty, yip with
the sun still shining!! J
