skibereen!

well, i haven't wrote in a bit.
i rode rosie again on friday
rosie is the one i fell off of
and could hardly walk for two weeks so
i was a bit nervous.
it was actually a realllly good lesson, though.
i envy my past self...i think of how
i was riding when i was like nine, and i
was ready to do everything. i was
jumping by the time i was like 10.
i was fearless. now i'm all,
"can we trot this course once first?"
GAY! i'm working on that, though...
and getting back on rosie was the first step.
i don't even know where these fears came from.

i am thinking of switching barns.
i love spruce meadow, but i'm iffy about my trainer...
our lesson started an HOUR late last week.
i just think when i rode there years ago, it was
more professional.
also, i used to take lessons with karla, the owner...
and now i get lessons by a girl who has
been riding the same amount of time that i have.
which feels kinda weird. i mean, show knows
what she's talking about but we really don't
even learn anything in the lessons.
we walk, trot, canter in both directions
and then we all jump. every week.
i miss learning the dressage moves and all that.
also, i really miss showing.
spruce meadows has small shows just within the barn.
i want to go to shows out of town,
at the fair, etc. i want to compete.
so, i found this barn in orchard park that
is the same fee i am paying now, and it seems
better. i'll check it out.
it's called skibereen farm.
i'm going to call later today and see what's up!
