Not only would it make me feel amazing to get an A in such a hard class and with umm a lets just say not the best teacher XD But I just asked my dad if I got an A in my algebra class (which I am taking a year in advance ;D) if he would consider buying me a horse. Sadly the answer was no, but he told me that we honestly could not afford it

So now there is no use in looking anymore, since before I thought that he just didn't want to or didn't trust me but now I know the reason is because we can't afford it.
But the awesometastic news is, I asked him about another alternative. If I got an A if I could do a big rated show. Surprisingly the answer was a 'Yes!' 8D He asked me if I really thought I would be able to do that and not be afraid of nervous. I said yes, and he said if I really believe so, that he would let me. He said he will even ask my trainer on Sunday, when he comes to my lesson, about if she thinks could do an A rated show or some of the big rated shows around me! 8D Wow I am excited, since I never told my trainer my goals of competiting in Maclay Regionals then Finals or Devon or WIHS.
Ahh, I wish an A in my worst class was the way to my own horse, but it can't be that easy, can it? I'll hopefully be doing some showing this season, at least a few schooling shows off-site, maybe a multi day show at one of the regional ones in my area. Good luck with A rated shows!
