Lacy, Lacy, Lacy!!!!

She did NOT enjoy her bath last night. I was the only one there so i had to try and keep her from walking off and freaking out. It took me an hour to wash just her mane and tail. We really need work on it! Only a few more days left of school for me! Yippie! I also am going to predistricts June 4th!!! :) Speaking of shows for county fair someone offered to let me use there horse as a back up for fair. And to use in games! Im not very good at all with games but there really fun to do! Plus i have awesome green and black game reins. Lacy and I tried the district pattern tonight and she did very well! Except she was extremely hyper. That's all for now! I need to get more pictures on.

Shes back!!!!!

So Lacy had to go away for 5 days to be bred. That was literally the LONGEST 5 days ever! She is know back but extremely clingy! Also her coats really darkening out. Oh but i can't ride her for the next two weeks. After that for another two weeks i can't ride her really hard. But we should be good to go by June 23rd which is districts!!!!! Lacy's owner is offering to give us a ride :) Also if i end up going to state i get to use her horse Marilyn in showmanship!! Thats all for now! Unfortunatly i have to go to work.

Trail day!

So im super happy! The person who owns Lacy moved her mats today AND cleaned her stall :) meaning i could get started riding right away! We worked on getting are leads to the right, and she behaved pretty well! I love trail riding with Lacy! She could care less if we go alone or in a group, last time we went with a group she was literally speed walking the first half and than on the way back she was dragging her feet. Safe to say i have a trail pony! She walked over tree branches, except whenever one would snap Lacy would look all around her to make sure no one was following. I have to work Saturday and Sunday so we can't go to a show. BUT im hoping there is one next week. I finally made the decision that im not going to districts. I was disapointed but me and Lacy could use some extra practice. Tonight i have a band concert. I wish horses were allowed!

Lacys Latest Achievments!

Lacy is probably the best horse! I took her to our first show together the weekend before last weekend, it turned out great! Despite the fact we placed last in all the classes we went into too! Except for walk trot. Its been bugging me!!! We looked perfect other than she did pin her ears once during the class but other than that she looked great! I was going to go to districts this year. But sadly we couldn't get a ride so instead of not working very hard because im not going, Im deciding to go to this other show. Its more of an open show but i have gone the past couple years and it is a fun show! So im looking forward to that one in July. Oh and in order for us to do our level testing i need to learn how to do a flying lead change. In all my years of riding (actually its only like 3 years) i have not done a flying lead change! So i think i need to be the one to learn for once! Also our Barn Owner tilled the outdoor arena today and i was super excited!!!!! There was this huge dirt pile that the entire time i rode Lacy was slightly freaked out by it! Also i swear barely anything makes Lacy spook. My friends dog Tilly was splashing through water like running through it right next to Lacy and Lacy barely cared! So thats the Lacy update for right now! Other than she keeps getting better! And that im really working on my favorite English!! It feels awesome to be back in an English saddle! Except for i do really like my western saddle! :) Thats all for now!
