Spring was supposed to be here!!!!!!

Aahhh! I look outside this morning and see..... SNOW! It has been in the 70's this week and perfect riding weather. Yesterday was in the 40's and Lacy loved it! She cantered nicely and for the first time she didn't want to stop cantering! We had a 4-h meeting and after we were in Wilderness we saw orange lightning, so we ran the entire way back to the stable while it was hailing. When we got inside the barn we continued the meeting while it lightning and thundered. Nebraska has insane weather! Lacy has been extremely good these past few days other than spooking at the wind! Also its deshedding season and all the horses have been losing there furry winter coats!! OK uploading some pictures of me and my pony!!

 Lacy and me!

 Silly horse! Lunge lines dont taste good!

 Lacy just being cute!

And last but not least surprised pony!!

Nebraska Horse expo!

So all this weekend i went to the nebraska horse expo! and bought a lot of stuff!!! I found some really neat halters but i didn't have any money for! I also bought a pair of nice spurs!! Also i got 2 saddle pads from someone my friend knew! I have been cleaning my room. But i did go out to see my pony today! She was excited to be lunged but then wasn't after she knew she actually had to work! One thing on my wish list right now is a saddle!!!!!! My trainers english one it the only one that fits her. She is a super stocky quarter horse who needs the full quarter horse bars. And my trainer only  has semi quarter horse bars and it pinches her withers. So i really need to find a saddle! More to come! Along with extremely nice weather!

Im totally loving this weather!

So it was amazingly nice today!!!! Yay! I took Lacy out for a trailride and she was an angel! She was so excited but didn't trot or buck. On the way back she dragged her feet like she really didn't want to go back! She could literally go on trails for HOURS! 4-H tonight!! Than tomorrow the NEBRASKA HORSE EXPO!!!!!!!! More tomorrow!!!!

Lacy!!

So i didn't get a chance to ride my pony today :( But i did lunge her!! She didn't buck or do anything!! Im extremely proud of her! I cantered her for quite a while she wasn't too happy but she likes getting back into work. Yesterday she was not a very good pony at all! She refused to canter and was getting all excited so i kept her doing little circles and than lunged her again. Its raining! I love the rain! And the sound it makes! Filled out job applications last night... only way to keep my pony! I hope i actually get hired some where. Which brings me to my parents and I's agreement. If i get a job and can pay half for my horse i can keep her. If i can't bye bye horse! Enough for today! I have a lot of homework oh one good thing about this week HORSE EXPO!!!!!!!!!!! Im super excited to go watch!!!!!!!

Intro!

Show season is coming up! Im counting the days!! A little about myself and the horse im leasing. Lacy is an 11 year old purebred Quarter horse her owner did reining with her. She has been out to pasture for two years and now i have to work to build her back up into show form. So after her testing me like crazy pinning her ears refusing to move. Now i can actually canter her! But she goes perfect on her left except around corners she slows down a lot and i really have to push her through! But her right lead she refuses to canter she trots faster than i thought a horse could but still she doesn't canter!!!!!!  Unless i take her straight down the arena and she thinks we are doing roll backs. I love her though! 

How it came to be:

So i had my mind set on a horse named Smokey long story short i thought he was the perfect horse. But Katie saw Lacy being ridden at a clinic and texted me about Lacy i refused and was mad when Katie kept telling me i should get her. I thought it over that night and texted her back the next day asking some questions. Than Katie said i should try and ride her. I went out the next day nervous to see what would happen. I watched Lacy's owner ride her and instantly i knew that this was one awesome horse!! She could do just about everything a reining horse does! I hopped on and she was an absolute angel! Lacy's owner decided it would work but i had to convince my parents. I went home that night all happy and excited. The next day though i had a lesson it turned out great! But coming home to my parents was a totally different story! After about an hour of us being mad and yelling i stormed off not listening to anything my parents said. While i was at school i wrote an "agreement" to try and convince my parents i got home and i worked to convince my mom. She said we could trial her two weeks but after that my job better start or Lacy would have to wait. So i talked to Lacy's owner the next night. She was totally nice and told me she didn't want Lacy to leave for March all we needed to do was pay the board. I immidiatly called my mom and told her she agreed!!!!! So Lacy is mine now! Well leasing wise anyway. Except for 1 or 2 weeks in April her owner is breeding her but after she has the foal we have an option to lease her!!!

Ok wow i totally didn't realize how long this post was!!! If you read it awesome! If u didn't thats ok i type a lot! Continue looking at my blog to see how Lacy and I are doing!!!!!!!
