It was freezing today. Yesterday was the first "blanket day' for Danny. Kelsey and I couldnt ride today, Mrs. Cloutier had a surgery for her shoulder and back pains. She is in a lot of pain. :(
All we did was feed the horses today. The only way I could keep warm was by sticking my freezing hands in Danny's blanket! Spanky (another horse at the farm) gave me a little trouble. Because all of the grass has lost all its nutrience, the horses want Dante and Danny's food. I'm probably going to start to pull them out...
Anyway smother Mrs. Cloutier in prayer, be on the look out for photos (we are starting the media section of our blog) and check back next Wednesday! Bye!

hello!
Today Buddy and I did really well. (Buddy is Danny's 2nd name) we had a great time trotting around the ring. The ring was so soft today it was as soft as dust it was wonderful! Any way I prayed to God as I was walking around the ring. I prayed for renewed confidence in me, steadfast confidence in Hunter (my brother is taking lessons now. You'll probably hear from him later) and a nice relaxing ride.
I told God the reason I bought Danny was so that I could have nice relaxing rides on him and I prayed that today He would give that "perfect ride" to me. And God was faithful He gave me that perfect ride! I had so much fun. I hadn't trotted on Danny that much since well, since I can remember! Thank you God for giving me a great horse, a wonderful teacher and a crazy mother! Without all of them I wouldn't be where I am today!

Hello
Today I didn't ride because I forgot my bridle. So I did ground work . I was happy to be with my horse and be stupid we made jokes and now Dante is my big teddy bear... but we worked on lots of stuff like the thing we were before and how to bend his head and desensitizing with the whip. But I had lots of fun with him today.. Not alot to say

A beautiful fall day
Hey. This is Kayla again. Just to let you guys know, Kelsey and I ride every Wednesday now.
Danny came right up to me and I groomed and brushed him down. Kelsey already had Dante tacked up and was walking him around the ring.
"The ring is so hard! It is hurting my feet...and his!" she said.
I thought she was over-exzagerating so I finished tacking Danny up and I walked to the areana. It was so hard Danny wasn't even leaving a print. So Terry (a guy who works there) said that he would rake the ring real quick. While he was raking Kelsey and I worked on ground tieing with Mrs. Cloutier.
When he was done Kelsey walked into the areana and saddled up. I got my helmet than kept working on ground tying with Danny. After her lesson was done I went into the areana and walked him around. He followed me I should say. Though he does it all the time I always felt proud that I could "lead him around with out me touching him. Well the pride stopped when I realized that he wasn't following me. He had stopped at the last corner we had passed.
I started to motion with my hands and call to him to come. He didn't budge. I tried a few more times then I thought about how much time we have and ran over to him. I grabbed the reins and said "walk-on." He still didn't budge. I made my angry noise and said "Get!" He didn't budge. I don't I started to walk him around in a circle and back him up. But he stil wouldn't move forward!
Mrs. Cloutier came over and slapped his but as I pulled, he finally moved foward. I was kinda worried. I backed him every once in a while then got on.
He stood still as I mounted him. I was a nervous wreck and I knew that attitude would set me up for failure so I prayed and then asked Mrs. Cloutier to walk next to me. She did, I love her so much she is so kind to me! She walked me around and then went to the middle I felt God speaking to me saying that he would send gaurdian angel to protect me and that He was a caring loving God. Though I was still not sure of what Danny would do.
Mrs. Cloutier told me to trot so I did when I was done I slowed him down and walked him around. Mrs. Cloutier's daughters ran down a slide towards the fence yelling and screaming. Danny vaulted but I didn't let it faze me. I pulled back on the riens and said "WOAH!!!!" In my angry voice. He stopped and stood still. After that the lesson went on pretty much as they always do. I got off said good boy and turned him to the field.
I PROMISE TO POST PICTURES SOON!!!!
