Past rides**

I knew this whole blogging everyday would end sooner or later.
I'l try to recap all I can.
Monday - I cant remember what I did
Tuesday- Rode inside because the weather was crappy out. I tried to get both rides done before Erin started teaching in the indoor. My ride was going well until Erin came in with a group lesson. Of course they were jumping. So that was a disaster in itself. It was going perfectly until they started jumping. I was pissed off which didnt help Mason. Thankfully Kelly came to the door and I started talking to her. I decide to go outside and finish my ride. It went pretty well considering it was cold, windy, everyone was inside, and Jack was on the tractor. We did one quick canter circle both ways and called it quits. At the start of the driveway Mason started to trot back to the barn. I really hope this doesnt mean he's becoming herd bound again. I need to get him out to the back fields ASAP!!
Wednesday - Mason unfortnitly got the day off since Pokita was leaving Thursday
Thursday - Pokita left in the AM. At the moment I'm doing very well. When they came to get her? Well that another story I rather not live through again. Lets just say I started to cry in front of Jack! He's seen it all! Totally shit faced, crying, falling into jumps, yep... At times I feel like I'm a 5th daughter to him. Anyways, as much as I fought with that mare I will always love her, I never realized how much I really loved her until I saw her leave today... I feel the tears coming so I'm just going to stop talking about this and start talking about my ride on Mace today.
Thursday - After my horse leaving, I talked to Jack for awhile. I don't know what I would have done if he wasn't there. Then I did a little show prep, since I had a scheduled lesson at 6 I went home around 3 to rest and get ready for my lesson. Of course Lisa texted me saying she cant come down. I'm a little glad she didnt teach me because I had a great ride towards the middle and end. The beginning we were running through the stubben bit.... fun stuff! There were polls on the ground so I worked on having him TROT over the jumps like they werent there. That took some work but we finally got it. I decided that since the rest of our flat warm up was good, and I had a good canter we would canter over some polls. He had no problem cantering over them like they weren't even there. I'll have to ask Lisa what that is about, cantering over polls like its noting, but cant control trotting over them. Riding him made me feel good thankfully! I did a lot of canter work, both of us were tired at the end. Riding for a long time was partly because Sarah was feeding and I didnt want to talk to her about Pokita leaving, especially since I was just talking to her in the AM.

My friendship has really changed since she got that boyfriend. I need to find new friends who are MY age!!! These are the new people I hang out with. Sarah, Lisas student who is 18, Kelly 16, Kara 17, and I try to be friends with Alison who is 14-15? Not too sure how old she is. How can I forget about Martha and Gail who are what in their 40-50s. I started to be friends with Mindie and Amy but they are weird!! Sadly they are the only ones who are my age! Ugh!!! Every now and again I will hang out with Emily who is 18-19 and Tayla who's 18 but leaving for school in NC in June or July :( Damn I need to find new friends and a boyfriend!!!!!

Totally went off topic with this post, but whatever.
I have a lesson tomorrow with Lisa so I'll try to post about that since this weekend is the show and I doubt I'll be riding. Going to try to hide out on Sunday, we'll see how that goes. First time in a long time I don't help/ride at a USEA show. I guess its a new ME!
