This just sucks all this nice weather then it rains and makes a bigger mess and when it's not raining I still can't ride or lest not going to try to cause then ill be in pain again and miss more works and that just not good cause there are bills that have to be paid, way to many to pay.
I am hopping that I'll be ridding more in April cause I'm running out of time to get ready for my shows and I'll have a bise year if i can ride. and If not this is really going to suck and I'm going to be really made. I'm not worried about Mars he can have another year off it's not going to hurt him one bit other then he might get really fat. It's Pretty I'm more worried about cause she's still veryu young and still learning I don't want to have to make her wait another year. adn none of my sisters will ride her enoung.
I'm really not sure what to do showing is my life i dont do much els other then work and help out at my boyfriends dairy farm. None and I mean none of my plans are going as i wanted them to.

This year has not started out well
March 17 / 2011
I have less then 2 and a half months till my first show and i still cant ride. I started doing physio yesterday and it was not to bad but I've missed 3 days of work this week already and it's only my second week of work. I'm trying to get my back stronger again but it hurts. I told my physio girl that I'm used to riding 5 to 6 hours a day and now it hurts just to ride half an hour. All the mucils in my back, hips and legs are tight and she found all the spots that hurt. So today i didn't make it to work cause just getting out of bed and walking up the stairs just killed. I didn't sleep very good cause every where i lied hurt more then the next.
I haven't been able to ride Pretty at all this week and i think Mars might be sore again he don't seem to be moving just right. i brought them into the barn the other day and gave them all a good brush down and coumed out there very tangled mains, might do that again today. Mars has a very long and think tail and Pretty on the other hand does not he's is thin but that's OK. and Yes i did Reno to, he's got a really thick main and tail .
Reno is my dad's other horse but dad don't ride him and Nat and Jen used to but not any more, he's also the one for sale.
Im cleaning all my show stuff and making sure i have everything i will need for this show year, that's if i can show.
Q = How do you get a rusty bit shinny again?

long time no talk, check up time
March 9 2011 my fist day back to work and boy did it suck, i was sore all day and when i got home a just wanted to die my back hurt so much. but back to work i have to go, got bills that need to be payed. I'm back at Funks Live stock washing cattle trailer but I'm still taking it easy and not lifting anything, it hurts to much.
I road Pretty middle of last week just a few lap's around the arena plowing throw the snow, I could feel every step she took up and down my back. She was quit came considering i haven't toucked her in all most 4 months, Good little girl. i just had halter and lead roap and when i picked my hands up her head when down right away so i was happy.
Mars on the other hand hates me, he's not one that likes beaning left along and have nothing to do or learn anything new so he gets in to trouble, he gets board and does thing he know he should not like, brake the fence pushed throw the fence, just step over the fence, getting into my barn, making a mess, chasing the dogs, taring apart my feed manger, not wanting to be chute, chasing Pretty and Reno, and getting really fat, really really fat. This winter he has broken in to my barn 5 times already. He knows how to open the door, or crawl under the Chane across the door. If I lock the door from the inside he grabs hold of the handle and leans all his weight backwards and backs the lock( Jackass) he must weigh 1600lb if not more.
I have starting to lunge him but he don't like it very much he just goes around bucking and rearing then stops and no matter what i do we wont go around again. he's not scared of the whip or my boot up his ass. That's kind of my fault i raised him up to be bombproof. so If i try to walk be hind him to whip his ass he'll just spine with me, with out moving the front foot. I got him lunging batter today i just need to make sure he keeps going, one little hesitation and he stops. I wont be ridding him for awail just cause my back still really hurts after to much work and he is bound to go a little crazy on me so I'll wait till i can handle it batter.

Winter No Fun
As far back as I can remamber this is trhe longist time I'v gone with out ridding a horse and let me tell you it sucks, there is nothing to do at all. i tryed to do some haltur work with Mars today but he was far to jumnpy and wanted to pull me watch is not good on my back so i just let go of the lead roap and let him walk him self. He ran around like he was FREE but then came back to my side and walked beside me for awail, I tied the lead roap around his neck so he would step on it and we played fallow the leader for a bit. but my back started hurtinmg from all the walking so i had to call it quits. I got some nice photos of the horses today.

Wores then i thought
Well i found out on Jan 21 that it's wores then i thought. It's not just my hips that are out of place but my back is as well. I got a bit of a damiged disc that is really swollen and pinching one of my nervs in my back so every now and then my legs go nume. I'm not aloud to pick anything up or do alot of bending over, so I'm off work and off ridding and bord and not aloud to do anything so im at home lieing on the flat ground cause it's the only spot my back does not feel so bad.
The charoprctor said it can take 4 to 6 weeks to heal probley so there goes a couple of my planes.I had just started to get back into ridding and trying to get Mars back in shap but i guss that going to have to wait now. So Mars can put the 10 pounds he lost back on along with 40 pound more. lol. I had planed on taking Mars to the Roal Winter to compeat in the Barrles but now i wont have the time i neeed with him so there goes thous plans.
I'm not used to being stuck inside not aloud to do anything, on nice days like today id been out side with my horses or at my boyfreinds place helping do chorse and milk the cows but im not even aloud to milk the cows. So I'm bord already and it's only been a week so this is really going to suck.

Out of the game for a bit
I'm not really sure what I did all I know is that my hips started hurting late last week and on Monday i find out my hips are way out of place. It hurts to walk and sit down and getting back up is even harder but iv had this problem before. But of cores I worked last week and i worked a long and hard day on Monday so when i went to work on Tuesday i could hardly walk i decided to go home and the same thing happed Wensday.
So i wont be ridding at all this week watch means Mars is going to be really made at me but i don't think Pretty is going to mind as much as Mars will. But in a big way my hips being out of place is Mars's fault in the first place so i should be the one made at him.
This all started way back in 2006 at the 4 - H Provencal Show. Me and Mars had made the team in the top 2 as well. This year we showed in Trail, Reining, Jumping, Barrels, Poles and Keyhole. the show was going good and I took Mars out to go warm up for my Jumping class watch was coming up. All around the out door warm up arena was these jumps with fake flowers under neath them watch was OK with every other horse out there but Mars. Mars is a really good jumper, he's jumped the 4 real fence at home and we've cleared the barrels standing on end but for some reason if you put food under the jumps Mars will not cross them.
As we were worming up we went over some small jump just jogging and made a few laps but when i lined him up for this one unpractical jump watch had some fake flowers under neath Mars hit the breaks and I went throw the jump instead. I landed on the poles on my back and Mars was just standing there trying to see if he could eat the fake flowers, he even bit a few and was mad when they didn't taste good. I got up after lieing there for a little bit, put the poles back up and went to get back on Mars when one of the parents came up to me and told me i should not get back on, to dangerous and not safe. I didn't say anything back and just got back on Mars and tryed the same jump again and the same thing happened. Well know we have a problem cause that hurt again so me and Mars had to have a little talk eye to eye. That parent came over again and said i should not get back on and the flowers should be removed but i said no to both. Me and Mars were going to try this again and this time be hit the brakes again and i was more ready for that so i just ended up hanging on his neck but not tucking the ground. i pulled my self back up and not even a foot in front of the jump i made him just bunny hop over then back around we went at a lop and over he when with no problem. Good thing cause i just got called to go compete in my jumping class, We got 3rd place.
When the show was over i was really sore and when to go get my self checked up and found out my hips where really badly out of please and i was in crouches for 2 weeks and ever since i have had problems with my hips so i hopping this one will end soon.
It's sunny and blowing snow what i nice day to go for a ride

Over the fance I go at least I missed the tree
Don't dout me when i say i love my crazy horse
Jan 10 / 2011
It was a very noce day with it snowing again but at least the sun was out. i let all the horses out for watter before i desised to grabe Mars and go for a little ride, good thing to cause they all seemed to go crazy and go running aroun the arean like well the crazy horses they are. i let them do all there bucking and fighting before i got a hold of Mars and pushed all the rest back into there holding pen.
Mars was still jumpy and snorting loud but me and him where going to go for a nice slow ride today with no problems and he batter not try and buck again. today he was not to bad othere then he wanted to hold his head high but it's Mars i really don't care if hios head is up or not. the other horses were fighting in the holding pen and that got Mars all jumppy again so we had a little fight but i just turned his head in till he was trying to bit my boot and we went on with our jogging. we did about 20 some laps in both dirackshion so we did pretty go and Mars still had go.
My next horse to reide was Pretty even thow my face was getting really cold i figerd i should work with Pretty just a little. Just with Haulter and lead roap i was trying to get her to keep careing her self with her head down and her body more underneath her and she would as long as i heald her a little and keept my legs on her, but she keept wanting to pick up speed because my legs were on her. Everytime i let go of her i could feel her dropping her self so we got some work to do with that but i like how much she is hold with just lead roap so when spring comes and i put her back to bit i would like to see how much more she will hold up for me.

It's anothe nice but but today seems like a good day to have some fun. so i got on my crazy Mustan horse Mars and right of the bat her wants to have some fun to he takes off into a jog all nice and quit till he stops right infornt of some hay on the ground and trys to pick some up and i gave him a boot((( BADIDEA))) he glude his ears to his head and took off like a bat out of hell strait for the fance. he hit the brakes and me without a saddle on whent for a bit of a flying lesone, Over the fance and i missed the tree buy only a few feet. Landing on my back in really deep snow watch is kind of a good thing and i was wearing my new halmet i got for christmas.Very good thing.
Well that was fun but i was not to happy with Mars but he was still stnding here with his head hanging over the fance just looking at me thinking What you doing down there? I got up all ok and got back on Mars and the rest of our ride had no problems at all.
That was the end of my ridding for the day.
