Riding Lesson

Yesterday I had a riding lesson on Pie. I lunged her for 15 minutes  and got her warmed up for the lesson. Then I tied her up for a bit while I lunged and saddled another horse for my friend. The horses had a lot of energy built up and they had fun running and bucking on the lunge line. My lesson went great and pie was loping nice and slow with her head down. My riding instructor had hus take our feet out of the stirrups while at a working trot. It takes a lot of leg mussels to keep your self planted in the saddle and not leaning to far back or forward. It was a lot of fun and I cna't wait until next saturday and sunday for my lesson!!!

Light Up Parade

Tonight is the Light Up Parade!!! We have been going to this parade since we moved here 8 years ago and only one year it has been cancled because of all the snow. I have actually been in the parade a couple of times for karate..... we decorated a trailor and a semi truck with lights and christmas wreaths and then we sat on hay bales on the trailor and waved in our karate suits. Last year my dad used our truck and pulled the trailor while my brother and sister were waving like crazy out the truck windows:) We can't do a float this year becasue we do not have enough students that are signed up for karate right now. I can't wait for later tonight they sometimes hand out candy. Afterwards we go to timhortans for a hot chocolate and something warm to eat!!!!!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away.......

Well talk about a lot of rain!!!! Wish it would finaly stop although I am toughing it out by riding with my friend down the road in the pouring rain. Haha some people would call us crazy but it is worth all the hard work because it will all be worth it when the show season comes and everyone elses horses will have had like 2 or 3 months off. Pie is doing great and I am really enjoying my lessons!

My Weekend

This weekend was BUSY!!! On friday I went over to the farm and did stalls, waters, and fed all of the horses, and I slept over at my friends house. On Saturday I woke up early and fed all of the horses and we did stalls and waters and went swimming at the Aquatic Centre for 2 and a half hours. After swimming we came back and fed all of the horses and then went to my friends house to play and have pizza and icecream.

Today is my brothers and my friends birthday party I am going to sleep over at her house tonight. Today before we go to her house going to do stalls and feed everybody. On Saturday we are going swimming and doing stalls. It will be so much fun I can't wait to go swimming!

Riding Pie

Yesterday I walked Pie down the road to my friends house. We lunged our horses for 10 or 15 minutes then whe got on and rode for a bit. Pie was so good!!!! She was loping slow and getting the right lead and was stopping and jogging around with her head down and collected. I had so much fun riding and brushing her. She looked so pretty after she had a good brush and went in a paddock to eat some grass while we fed the other horses.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everybody! Got lots of candy???? I sure did. I had a lesson today and it went very very well. We worked on our lope-offs and square turns. Pie did really well and we had some nice strides. We brought my best friend to the lesson with her horse Xida. After the lesson we went back to their house and got ready for a bonfire later that night. Roasting Marshmallows and eating chocolate what a great night! I can't wait for Christmas... only 52 days from ow. I can't believe it, it seems like we just had christmas a week ago. Maybe we will get a little bit of snow, not as much as last year I hope. It was fun but a lot of work to feed and water horses.
