;D OK well i rode Oscar friday(march 2nd) and he was SO GOOD, my first lesson with him! the wind was blowing incredibly hard and knocking the doors on the indoor and normally a horse would be beside themselves, but he was fine ! and i got him to collect. we didnt jump we just did a flat and lunge lesson. anyway i was so very nervous to do the lunge lesson idk why that i made my trainer let me go around with reins first just to see how Oscar is . well he was amazing for me he relaxed and was acting like a hunter ;D!so i trust him a lot now! and he is so sweet and i know he will take care of me. so to cool him off since it was such a nice day warm even i walked him out, outside, and we went down the driveway away from the barn(normally a horse wouldnt budge by themselve's cuz the other horses and food are in the barn) but he just kept going and was completely trusting me ;D! so i am looking forward to the next lesson with him when we jump and stuff ;D ;D ;D ;D

I rode Oscar yesterday (March 6,2007) and Oscar was great! It was our first lesson! We did roll backs and lengthening of strides down a line and just on the flats, and collecting him back up, he is SO adjustable! i am so happy with him, this weekend we have our first show together and I am really excited, although it's just a schooling show i cant wait! he is so good, i just have to relax and gain confidence in myself and trust in him, I know he will do anything I ask him to, I just have to plant it in my head! Anyway i cant wait!

I rode him again today(friday March 8,2007), not in a lesson, just a hack by myself to get even more ready for the show this weekend. He was so good again, he puts up with my lack of confidence so well. he is so adjustable too, if we get tight to the first fence in the line and the line is already long as it is, i can still push him up to get the strides i need without it looking bad and feeling rushed,and i can hold him to add a stride etc.! I am so excited for this years show season! I can't wait to show him and Mandy this weeked! wish me luck!

ok the show this weekend (March9-11) it was ok, Mandy and Oscar were great! I was feeling a little sick though, and i was rushed for my eq course cuz no one else before me was ready so i had to step up to the plate and learn my course in literally 10seconds...which caused me to go off course ON THE LAST FENCE after A PERFECT ROUND other wise....i think i should have had a re-do!i wasnt supposed to go for another 10 trips! but oscar put up with me...and i tried jumpers for the first time to get oscar and i ready for the eq course and i wasnt trying to place even but i got 3rd out of about 11 lol it always looked fun to dash like a mad man across the timers....so....naturally i had to try it....lol..but Mandy was amazing as usual, we got reserve champion in the Children/Adult Amature Hunter Classic. But we almost had to take Mandy to the vet friday night!!!! she refused for the FIRST time in her life and i could tell she was going weird under me i told everyone she wasnt right but NO ONE believed me so i got off said her face didnt even look right...it didnt....we took her to her stall and she leaned allll her weight on the stall and stayed pinned up against it and her eyes were dreery she couldnt stay awake so we called our vet she said it was just somekind of trying up in the back and she should be fine in 15min which she was and we went on to get reserve thats good old Mandy for you though she always pulls through thank God cuz i about died when i got off and looked at her eyes she gave me a look like "I just cant do this tonight" and i told them that but NOOOO lol anyway after we took her back they believed me and we came back that morning and the look in her eyes this time was "alright! you better be ready cuz i am!" so yup thats all for now :-)

Ok well everything with Oscar went pretty much down hill from there!^^^ I no longer ride him, my sister does. And I am looking for a JrHunter/Eq. Horse. Mandy is still Mandy and we are getting along better than ever, qualified for Medal Finals. Hopefuly we'll win both KHJA and OHJA. This is her last year so we're going to make it count!

He and I don't "click" as well as he and my sister do. He is more of a Jumper than a Eq. horse and needs a confident rider. I'm just not confident enough for him, plus he and my sister get allong like PB and Jelly. She's going to do the Lows on him maybe highs

I had a lesson on Mandy the other day(tuesday, Aug 28). She was good we had a good lesson again, we have a show this weekend. I am sooo sick right now and if I don't go to school tomorrow (i didn't today, it's thursday) I can't show. So no matter what i am going to school tomorrow so I can show. I am as sick as a dog though...it sucks. Oh well Mandy and I are doing so well I've gotta go to the show!

Aww, I hope you feel a bit better by tomorrow. Hopefully. I know sleep usually makes me feel quite a bit better when I'm sick. Good luck at your show! Let us know how it goes
