photoshoot!

We had a photoshoot out at the farm today! Kelsey, my brother Trevor, and I went out to the farm, groomed our horses and took pictures (which will be posted later)

After taking fabulous pictures, we went into the ring and ground trained a little bit. Trevor rode Danny. It was a lot of fun. At the end we pretended to be horses and took a video on my cell phone. We are so goofy! :) It was a TON of FUN!!!! Kelsey will now post and tell you all about it!

Long time New post

Hello There
sorry i haven't posted in a very long time:( summer has been really busy so i haven't ridden very much im hoping to do more in the fall and some in the winter depends on the weather i went riding today it was fun Dante has gotten alot better at jumping:) i have a new bit im using. Its call a Happy Mouth it seem to help hold the head up so he doesn't drag me to the ground when we jump. Today there were new jumps and he seem to like them:) I'm hoping i can trail ride him with Kayla and show him in some jumper shows. There is alot i want to do with him but it all takes time:) this fall i cant wait I'm going to be riding 2 times a week and working on the ground and trails with him Thanks to Mrs Cloutier helping me with that:) When i get back from Vacation i hope to up date more on the blog and put some pictures up of us jumping! Hope to post soon

Man...i really need to remember.

I am so bad at remembering to update this blog. I have to be more faithful. Anyway, a lot has happened since i last posted, as can only be expected after such a long period of time.

I went to California for a three week vacation. (I have family out there) During that time I took riding lessons. It was a really good confidence boost for me. It also reminded me that I enjoyed riding, love cantering, galloping, and being around horses. And get this, when I got back, I wasnt scared to ride Danny at all. I even cantered him for about 2 strides. He is so out-of-shape that he can't quite get in to a full canter. Haha. I haven't ridden him since then but I haven't really had that much time. I have been in and out of camps all summer.

And that is pretty much the full story in a paragraph. I have gotten a lot better at keeping things short and sweet haven't I? Anyway, I will post when I have something to write about. Bye!
