So I am finally getting back into riding horses!!! Yay!! I'm going to be leasing this amazing large horse named Tucker! He is gorgeous and REALLY fast. I rode him once before when I was trying out this other horse I was thinking about leasing. Me and Taylor, the girl I was riding with, switched because I was getting SOOO annoyed with the horse. At the barn I'm riding at, there is open space EVERYWHERE!!! It is GORGEOUS!! I can't wait to ride there. The thing is, is that a lot of the girls there are really snobby. The littler ones a pretty cool though. No one was really snobby in Ranch. Only some. That was because it was a YMCA camp, not a proffessional horse camp where all the snobs probably went. I LOVED it at Ranch. Anyway, the other downpoint of riding at this barn is that it is going to be a LOT of work. I am half leasing this horse so that means I am only riding him half the week. But I also have to go in once or twice a week and clean the whole farm with another group for 2-3 hours. I am really weird because I have always LOVED to clean the barn around the horses (which is in great contrast to everything else I need to clean). It calms me down and triggers my brain to think. Even raking up the poop I love to do! :p! But the thing is, ever since school started, I have been pilled down with  homework and more loads extra since the second semester started! I am afriad my grades might go down and I'll be stressed whenever I am at the barn!

But I do really need this. I REALLY miss riding! I need to get back into it and I LOVE TUCKER!! So I am really excited. And if this doesn't work out, I could always stop.

I can't wait to gallop across the wide-open lush green fields next saturday!! :DDD I really miss doing that because it makes me feel like I am FREE! I like I can FLY! It's such a beautiful feeling.

God I miss Shandy. He was the horse I rode at Ranch camp. I was the only one that was able to ride him. At first I hated him. I was always put on him because he needed excersise and no one could control him. But he soon grew on me. He was really tall, handsome, with a beautiful  deep brown coat. He had an  amazing  firey  spirt!  I miss him! :( My riding instructor there wants me to buy him but i don't know anything about owning a horse!!

Oh well I'll see him next year!
