Uhm... o.O that sounded weird--OKAY! Nevermind that, I'll tell you how my day went today.
Today was absolutelyamplifiedawsomeamazing with just a dash of frustration. Hey, nothing's perfect right?
(((By the way, my apostrophe/quotation mark key is sticky, so if you see a missing apostrophe, don't assume I don't know how to punctuate. It's all my keyboard's fault.)))
So, I went up to my barn to work horses with my instructor (Margo), who owns the farm. It's a lot of work, but I love riding the horses and being around them so much. There are four young mares, just green broke, who are being trained by Margo (and myself). Trixie, Liza, Fatale and Pearl. Liza, Fatale and Pearl all came from another barn. Trixie was born and bred at Margo's farm, and in fact her mother lives there as well. (I can think of at least 2 other pairs of horses who live at the farm who are mother and foal).
Dec 2nd: here's the rest of the entry.
These young mares are being trained in Saddleseat, which is a very showy, fast-paced, slightly wild discipline. When I began training them with Margo, it was my first time riding Saddleseat. It takes quite a bit of getting used to, but it sure is exhilarating! Each mare has a distinct personality, and some are easier to train than others. Trixie is usually the best; easy to work with, calm, and mature, and some days she's the tricky, spooky, and wild one. Most of the time she's a good girl. Liza is very reliable, and is almost always good. She's my favorite, and absolutely fantastic to ride.
Fatale can be good and she can be bad, it all depends on her mood. Lately she's become more spooky, jumping at random objects, and being a bit more "shifty."
Pearl is the special case. She requires slow, calm actions, low voices and lots of comforting. I've only ridden her once, and when I did I fell off twice, but when Margo rides her she goes so well. In the arena under saddle, she is the best. Her head just goes up automatically and her motion is awesome!
They require lots of energy, as does my theater class, which is why I'm so tired. So I think I'll close here.

So how are you?

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

I'm fine! Feeling kind of ranty at the moment, but I'm ok. xD
