If You're a Bird, I'm A Bird.

"Do you think in another life, I could of been a bird?"
   "What do you mean?"
"Like reincarnation!"
   "I don't know."
"I think I could!"
"Say I'm a bird."
   "You're a bird."
"Now say that you're a bird too."

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird."

G-Force Update 1/29/2012

Whoo! So G-Force is doing a whole lot better. His leg no longer hurts, and he's back to his lazy self. I did a lot of stuff today. I rode 3 different ways, it was really fun. So here's what I did today.
 First, I got him out of the pasture. I took him inside and began to groom him. I went to my locker and found glittery stuff to put in his mane, so, naturally, I did. After that, I braided his mane to look all pretty. After tacking him up for western, I took him into the indoor arena. We did a little warm up, and he faked a limp so he wouldn't have to canter. But, I made him canter because he's just lazy, and smart. After a trail ride across the bridge, I decided to lunge him (without tack) over a few jumps. He did really well. So I put the dressage saddle on him and lunged him again. I decided that it was safe and I could trust him if I was on him while he jumped.
 We hurdled towards the jump, and I swerved him around it. I thought I couldn't do it. I came around again and this time he kind of walked over it. 'one more time' I thought. This time we went a little faster and boy did he jump. It felt kind of like flying. I really enjoyed jumping him and next weekend maybe we'll jump higher. :)

Sadie's! :D

Whoo! Have a date for Sadie's :) Just wanted to let y'all know .Assignment posts will be posted tomorrow, by the way. This doesn't count.

G-Force Update 1/27/12

 Alright, so going to the barn tomorrow. I'll have to check up on his leg. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to jump him. If his leg has continued to be sore, we're going to have to get him checked by the Vet. I'll let everyone know how he's doing tomorrow night, or Sunday morning. :)

G-Force update

So, as you know G-Force, my horse, has been doing really well. Up until yesterday that is. I went out into the pasture to get him and I noticed this big black mark on his front left leg. He had gotten into another fight with another horse. So, I led him in, it only looked like a scrape, and I tacked him up. I took g on a trail ride across the bridge and I felt a limp in his trot. I began to worry, because a limp leg can be a sign of lameness, or a permanent "Charlie horse" which can be fixed with a little work.
I untacked him and took him into the arena to lunge and jump him. Every time he came around to the jump, he refused it. That confirmed the sore leg. I took him out to the pasture and stretched his legs which can be dangerous.
I had to sit on one of the chopped logs and bring him near. Next I took my hand and pulled the back of his leg so he would raise it. After that, I would put his hoof on my leg, and if he kicked, it could of broken my leg, but fortunately, hes a goodboy so he wouldn't do that. I stretched both front legs and put some ointment on his sore. Hopefully next weekend I'll be able to jump him :)

Day at the Barn :D

Okay, so this is exciting. I haven't been to the barn in weeks, and finally I got to go today. After helping my aunt clip her chicken's wings, my dad and I headed out for the barn. I rode G-Force for a while, took him across the bridge to the "trail riding" barn, and came back. After that, I untacked him, charged up the camera and took him out for a lunge-lesson on jumping. G-Force is phenomenal. I got some great shots of him jumping.
I plan to try and jump him next weekend, and I hope I don't fall off.. He's supposed to be really good at jumping, but I've been riding western and dressage lately, so he hasn't really jumped with a person on him in over 3 years. I'm so excited to share the pictures! :D

My Dog Haley

Okay well this video is about my dog Haley, and she is the love of my life. Haley was adopted when she was just a puppy, and is now 8 years old. Every day, my mom says, Haley can hear the bus from a mile away, because she's always at the door when the bus comes 'round. She always, always, gets on the bed with me and puts her head in my lap when I do my homework, and my mom sometimes says she thinks of me as her own, because she is very protective. Her full name is Haley "Tiger" Jordan because of her brindle colouring.
I would do anything for this dog, she is just, my life. Everything about her is perfect; she has big brown lovable eyes and perky ears, but has a constant case of "morning breath." Haley considers my parents as the "alphas" and will wait in my room (on my bed by my side) until I fall asleep, then she'll crawl in with my parents for the rest of the night. I hope you love Haley as much as I do. :)
