Reining

To Reing a horse is not only to guid him, but also to direct his
every movement. The best reining horse should be willingly guided through a set
of complex maneuvers, with litlle or no apparent resistance.

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
