...About riding, the weather, how fat I feel and such that is. Or maybe the WEATHER is bipolar and it seriously effects my productivity.
After my RAH RAH post about getting back on my horse, I had a meltdown and decided I was no longer going to ride...pretty much ever (see depressing FB status on July 25). And I changed my mind again. And again again. And now after watching the BAMFs in the Olympics, I decided I was going to the next one in 2016. And then it got hot again.
My poor pony.
Luckily I HAVE decided that I'm not going to stop riding for good, and once I get a solid, oh SIX paychecks under my belt and my finances taken care of, I will "start" showing again in September.
I say "start" because really that is the end of the season for MO, but there are a few nice jumper and CT shows nearby that are reasonably cheap that would be fun to do. Chesterfield has an amazing Jumper show at Ridgefield that I am absolutely going to do on the 22nd of Sept. I MUST.
I WANT TO WIN A BLUE NECK RIBBON SO BAD.
In the meantime, with the new jobs, classes beginning (hell weeks in CoMo) for students and fall settling in, I hope (crosses fingers jobs and laziness don't prevail) that I can do one jump sesh a week, one hack and one dressage school. I feel like I can do 3 rides a week. Not hard.
Especially once the weather settles its crazy ass down and gets back to normal temperatures I feel I will be wildly successful.
I gave my dressage saddle to Jackie to borrow till she gets her own so we shall dressage in jump tack! RAH! I can't believe I SHOWED eventing in jump tack for years. I only aquired a dressage saddle about 5 years ago.
Anyways, here is a sweet picture of all the ribbons I've won with the ponyface in Eventing and dressage. Didn't realize how many!
Good luck with the neck ribbon!! I've always wanted one. Looks like you're finding some stability.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm glad you got your groove back, I was worried! If it's not to out of your way to pick me up, do you wanna show buddy for the Sept 22nd jumper show? I'm good company and will help with monies =p

DeleteSweeeet. Text me and we'll work out details, well as much as we can this far out. Is there a site I need to check for entries and such? Never showed here!
DeleteBlue makes everything better!! Right?? ;)
ReplyDeleteWow love all the ribbons. :D
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about the mood swings. I have that problem too, but mine are usually in the winter when I'm not outside enough.... almost everyone is vitamin d deficient though so you might look into those as a mood booster. I take 5000IU a day of vitamin d because I'm so deficient.
