Rain Pain go away

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.
