qreohgad;sfd'gtr AUGH.

I JUMPED CHARM TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AND HE JUST
AUGH

THAT HORSE IS INCREDIBLE

seriously, with my homemade poles and jump standards he acts like he's done this before even though he hasn't. I can't wait to get higher with him, but we've at least got the shortest crossrail kind of down. XD I looked like a potato on him today because we weren't very in sync, but he just did

he just did amazing

he's so mindful of his feet

I could go on forever about it, I had the best time ever ;-;

At first he was like "ohmygod -backing up and being scared-" because he's not used to riding in the pasture with the other couple horses locked in the roundpen, but we got past it and he's like "hey this is pretty cool ;D"

he was just amazing.
I took some video too <3 it will be posted in a minute ouo

My stable is huge and beautiful, and I can say that without bragging. In fact, it's something I'm really, really proud of. We have a spacious barn, a large indoor, an outdoor jumping ring, two outdoor dressage rings, and a huge cross country course, and it's all in immaculate condition...but there are a lot of people at my stable that work HARD for it. Everyone, boarders, students taking lessons, all of us help every single day to make sure it looks perfect. We probably paint everything at least once a year, usually much more than that...everything is cleaned up every day, and when we want something (like a second dressage ring), we all go out and build it. My stable has a lot of wonderful people working every single day to keep it perfect, and I'm really proud to say I ride there. <3

Especially the last one shows what my stable looks like. If you're short on time, look at the last one.

    My lesson was today :) I rode this lazy Quarter/Morgan cross named Lucky, and it was so much fun! We worked on the basics and just reviewed; like my position, posture, then aids and finally turning. I'm sooo bad at shortening my reins in turns; when we were turning, he was being super lazy, and my hand was touching my hip in the turn. Bad. I'll work on that though, soon it'll click. c: I was really worried about riding Lucky because he's 16.3-17hh and the tallest I've ridden before him was 15.2hh. I wasn't really comfortable on him, though, because I'm used to horses who are willing to work and aren't stopping every second I softened my leg pressure. Lucky's a sweetheart, but I think I'll ask to ride a different horse next lesson. I'll make it up to him by grooming him super good tomorrow. Plus, I think he'll be glad he won't have to put up with me. xD And it would be very good to get used to different horses while I'm starting out.
    @Stables: Mine's medium sized to big, I guess. In the flat part/pasture/field area we have an indoor arena with stalls on either side by the back pastures and paddocks and the carriage house (they teach canning and stuff and we have unmounted lessons there). On the other side of the pastures and paddocks we have a nice cross country course, a showjumping ring and an AMAZING dressage arena. Next to the indoor arena we have a round pen. Then at the front in the woods there's the main barn with most of the stalls and tack and feed, the donkeys/mini horses pasture, and A (the owner)'s house. All of that stuff sure makes everything easier, and I'm proud of it, but the horses are really what won me over. A is seriously the horse whisperer; she gets wild mustangs from the government and buys chincoteague ponies at pony penning. She said she can't even touch them when she gets them, but now, they're seriously perfect horses. She can take Apollo (one of the mustangs) into the arena, drop his lead rope, leave for an hour or half an hour, go back, and he's still in the same spot as when she left. A may zing.

He's 13, but he's just trained so weirdly. xD He was only trained to walk/trot for shows and thats basically all he knows to do .-. he does so good for me though, he really tries ;u;

Ya know guys, I hate to be the person who does this, but I really think we should stop posting links to our stable websites. I seem to remember a few months ago someone posted their website here, and they received a warning, and the rest of us were told not to do exactly that. Considering most of them have contact information, it reveals location.

I hate to see anyone on this thread, or this thread in general, get in trouble over something seemingly so small!

Well, haven't been here in awhile. I don't even feel like trying to catch up. Actually, I'm losing interest in horses more and more each day and I HATE it. It's all Darla's fault. Bronson's fault. Rez's fault. Darla for just being herself and unfair and a whole bunch more that I can't even say because it would end with me being banned. Bronson for being so perfect and then leaving and for his owner just being un contactable and gone and for Darla not telling me where he went even though she know. Rez for just being the horse to show me how BAD of a rider I really am and for being a horse that I'll never be able to ride. I haven't ridden since August 28th and that was on Billings and I did TERRIBLE. Before that was Rez and I wanted him to be like Bronson but he just wasn't and I couldn't get him to listen so I just gave up. I just... I don't know. Everywhere I look I see pictures of Merlin and Henry- the picture of me cantering him bareback is still my profile picture on Facebook because I just don't know what to change it to and I don't look half bad (I think. Maybe I'm wrong?) (pretty picture because I'm depressing)
Image
Image
every time I turn on my computer or my phone I see Bronson and I KNOW I can't change that. Every time I say I'm going to find him and I don't it just pushed my even farther from Rez, and when I am with Rez, all I can think about is how I'm betraying Bronson.

My friend doesn't understand, since she's still on Darla's good side, and Darla and turn her against me so easily. I still want to be friends with her, but it's hard, because when she's up, she's riding Merlin. I could just sit at her house until she gets back, I practically live at her house, but she's always going to try and get me to ride and she doesn't want to listen to why I just can't. And I don't want her to feel guilty about riding while I'm alone at her house because it's not her fault. It's Darla's. But yet I want her to feel bad. So that maybe she can realize what it's been like. But until then she'll just get mad at me for quitting because she just doesn't want to take the time to care. No one does. It's just so frustrating not being able to do anything about it. And now some people (teachers in the special ed department) are asking me about my riding because apparently the two kids who are riding with Darla now have mentioned me. Now I make sure to say how bad of a place it really is, how unfairly I was treated, especially once those two showed up. I probably shouldn't talk bad about it, but I just HAVE to. I've counted it out and I've spent over 600 hours there in the past three years. That's a lot.

And then there's you guys, getting to lease the horses you love and not having to worry about never being able to see them the next day because their owners HATE your guts and could care less if you died. I'm not mad or jealous or anything, and I'm not saying that you have it easy, but right now it's just not fair. Not to me. I put my heart into everything and I lost it all- I can't even see those horses again. It's like losing 40 of my best friends because on person hates me.

So, until I have certain news on something, I won't be posting here anymore, won't even check it. It's not that I don't like horses anymore, it's just that I can't do it without Bronson. So I guess (on the rare chance that someone feels the need to respond to this) PM me. I'm not leaving entirely. I just won't be showing up here. I can't do it. And it sucks.

I just want Bronson back.
