Lol, I did free-lunge her. For about ten minutes or so. But she was settling into a nice trot, so I thought she was ready. Obviously she wasn't. My instructor said that it was more mischief than anything else, because she was trying to scare me into stopping.

Bella is pretty good, except when it comes to jumping. I will have to tell you about that in a different post! Aye aye aye!

Ohmygosh. >.< I had a lesson today and it's pouring down rain, flood/tornado warnings, etc. So, I still had my lesson and we were worked on lateral movements (leg yielding, turning on the hindquarters, etc.) and he got really pissy. He wouldn't trot well, he just jogged like a lazy bum. We gave him frequent breaks, becuase he's not used to the lateral stuff, but he was just in a bad mood. :T I'm going back around 2 to talk to one of the owners about FFA/4-H and take pictures of the pretty horses in the stalls. xD

I mean, $750 isn't very bad when you think about it. She trains the horse for you when you're not riding it - she's a pro trainer - you have two lessons a week, she does the worming for you, I think she does the clipping for you, she schedules vet visits, she schedules farrier visits, she does turnout, and she feeds the horse. Plus, each stall has a fan.
For a half-lease, it would be $500 a month.
Lessons are $50 each.

Good luck on your show Hanoverian!!! Tell me all about it <33

Speaking of shows, it is exactly one week until mine! This time next week, I will be showing in the Adult Amateur/Children's Hunter Division on Woody 8D

Oh for all of that, that price isn't bad at all. That's great that she trains your horse for you if you can't come out and ride
Wow that's pretty cheap for a half-lease. If I were to half-lease Woody or Bubbles it would be $600 a month o.0
That's not bad for lessons, at my old stable lessons are also $50. At my new stable semi-private and group are $60 and private is $75.

0.0 That's expensive, Dolphin! Oh well, you're a really good rider so your trainer must be a pro!
One glitch... the instructor only allows white/black saddle pads, boots, and polo wraps. -.- Which kinda stinks, because I have my pretty patterned saddle pad that I'll never be able to use once I half-lease! ):
Ugh, my conscience is bugging me. I went to this region orchestra thing yesterday and played my oboe for 5 hours, and it was terrible. So, I talked with my parents, and they agreed that I didn't have to go today and play for 13 more hours. So, my mom emailed my director and said that I didn't feel good. Which is partially true, since my stomach does hurt a bit and I'm completely exhausted. I just feel bad for some strange reason. I feel like I lied, which I didn't. I don't feel good enough to be in a bus for two hours, play my oboe for 13 more hours, and then play a concert.
I can't think, all I feel is guilty.

Ruby was epic today. She nearly run over my riding instructor after she shouted at me which I managed not to LOL at. Good old Ruby! It was hilarous to see her running away!
---
Thursday was great. I knotted Ruby's reins and Run off! She chansed me. When I stopped she stopped, When I run she Trotted. So epic! And she stopped rushing.

Sorry I accidenly thought this was my Trade thread :S

[classi]

TMR, this thread does not need bumping.
I can't wait for the owner to watch me ride! I'll probably get nervous and mess up, lol. I want to look as good as I can, so that she can really tell what horse would suit me. So exited!
