Tomorrow it's supposed to be 40, and I'm riding whether anyone likes it or not. >:D We've been jumping 2 foot consistently, and schooled 2'6 on the lunge. I'm in the process of building some cross country jumps to school over, we'll see how that goes. But in the mean time, enjoy these adorable pictures of Blue at the September Show.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#00cccc;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#00cccc;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#00cccc;"></span></div></div></div></div></div>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-65251939671666136632010-07-12T15:37:00.003-04:002010-07-12T15:43:19.507-04:00Farewell....This is my farewell post for this blog, join me at my new blog:<br /><br /><a href="http://adventuresofaroan.blogspot.com"><br />adventuresofaroan.blogspot.com </a><br /><br /><br />In all honesty, I don't ride Indigo at all anymore, now that I have Blue.

He's had about two weeks off due to some relatives of mine being in, and noone wanting to take me to the barn. >.> he will be at my house in a few days, hopefully... More on that subject later. <p>Im thinking about changing blue's bit. Possibly to a jointed kimberwicke, or a french link snaffle. He just absolutely DOES NOT respect the full cheek snaffle he's going in right now. I've been trying to stay very very light, with my hands, that way i'm not sawing with my hands all the time.. But right now im having to do about 15 small circles just so i sit the trot in that (insert horrible word here) western saddle. Hopefully i'll find an english saddle worth buying soon so i can get serious.Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-15358818742091266492010-05-17T11:48:00.002-04:002010-05-17T11:54:44.068-04:00Strep Throat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfdzfU_LVChQxnEBoo9qDSXMUCALh-1GBlHBDb_NXOc0-2W3_uwcw0VIgBnl7iV6g86zokKWHXU3z6wj5k4G-Sp5E6U1_p1SsmDv_tleApTC7mWKHY4fyXzbWBQSQbw1FV0k5Nv_q_ffc/s1600/1010966.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfdzfU_LVChQxnEBoo9qDSXMUCALh-1GBlHBDb_NXOc0-2W3_uwcw0VIgBnl7iV6g86zokKWHXU3z6wj5k4G-Sp5E6U1_p1SsmDv_tleApTC7mWKHY4fyXzbWBQSQbw1FV0k5Nv_q_ffc/s400/1010966.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472267888287983570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZexb1Hr7YQHnDztO3DlVCVYYurLOcXr8wOu9pcus6pVRLpMX-MCaDlNPkgUSNBSwwewYAbWesqTz-frdoBZxzj7qwuuqEO-u8SnLdgmIOvP-5W2miEYV2l4qetKPWTNCxGO_oMvxaRhE/s1600/1010978.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZexb1Hr7YQHnDztO3DlVCVYYurLOcXr8wOu9pcus6pVRLpMX-MCaDlNPkgUSNBSwwewYAbWesqTz-frdoBZxzj7qwuuqEO-u8SnLdgmIOvP-5W2miEYV2l4qetKPWTNCxGO_oMvxaRhE/s400/1010978.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472267879055696354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbnViMkIiy36hsgVd8X3jPQVYX9L64llsSnmVCpp86taizjBxomJtumjpb05wD2LunxnH_taLsE2joTIN0EAzgiwu6s2ss2FFU4UNBeTUohasH8AQH63Nw4Bl0SU2Z5_hdZ21QEpE7JzY/s1600/1010980.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbnViMkIiy36hsgVd8X3jPQVYX9L64llsSnmVCpp86taizjBxomJtumjpb05wD2LunxnH_taLsE2joTIN0EAzgiwu6s2ss2FFU4UNBeTUohasH8AQH63Nw4Bl0SU2Z5_hdZ21QEpE7JzY/s400/1010980.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472267874561957810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzguK2nUTt3-y6JR7SCopBiZwlIZGljJI7vbOJ_kCp3-DkK_Fr7-LDXUaECKJsUnk2Q31wMkDxEjmN1K5s98_MYYYjRfTrRBYY4oINWMx5HrRQAGcjzmIxSAp2w46JLno1nXuKk21gFA/s1600/1010953.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzguK2nUTt3-y6JR7SCopBiZwlIZGljJI7vbOJ_kCp3-DkK_Fr7-LDXUaECKJsUnk2Q31wMkDxEjmN1K5s98_MYYYjRfTrRBYY4oINWMx5HrRQAGcjzmIxSAp2w46JLno1nXuKk21gFA/s400/1010953.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472267870899214834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzFvsdXnCBJbqJJr_XlK10DrHlyShg2uZS6-homkroMo8HuCCgxyoBMLQpagFsqQb4D4CxjHEq-r7sMuh7j57TSxpRVthSCdEj3aGdqYmsuQUfYEZUQvHmYQOVJlGOQEmM8UrDpmLyy0/s1600/1011023.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzFvsdXnCBJbqJJr_XlK10DrHlyShg2uZS6-homkroMo8HuCCgxyoBMLQpagFsqQb4D4CxjHEq-r7sMuh7j57TSxpRVthSCdEj3aGdqYmsuQUfYEZUQvHmYQOVJlGOQEmM8UrDpmLyy0/s400/1011023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472267861652124994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEEzToVTuVgn7BHUuioSrOEiA7MVPBqX91evYdv2JEfTakRsuxH018D4qUC_Q4BPTwtW9Q2N9o63ckv04lqOcQHJ0s5NSXXZasCeqiX2v3DPj-8-hsVgPNixQU5ibQ6NMTE5GJBMA1z5U/s1600/1011027.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEEzToVTuVgn7BHUuioSrOEiA7MVPBqX91evYdv2JEfTakRsuxH018D4qUC_Q4BPTwtW9Q2N9o63ckv04lqOcQHJ0s5NSXXZasCeqiX2v3DPj-8-hsVgPNixQU5ibQ6NMTE5GJBMA1z5U/s400/1011027.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472266961131131970" border="0" /></a><br />As the title states, I have strep throat home sick, and alone.

Haha, first off let me appologize for n0t blogging regularly. :P Things have been... rough latley. I made the school softball team, and letmetellyou.<strong> it is so much freaking harder than little league. </strong>I enjoy the challenge, though. What I do not enjoy is only getting to ride my horse 2x a week. Wednesday and Sunday. </span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Speaking of that crazy Quarter Horse gone Thourghbred... I'll need some space for this post.. Last Wednesday (a week from today) I was schooling Le' Bleu on the flat, and he descided it was his day to be hot. >.> Joy. He spun and bronco bucked, resulting in a slipped saddle and a tumbled Josie. I was okay though, Blue however, was FREAKED OUT.. Long story short, he jumped a 4ft fence. He cleared it though! Hunter/jumper he we come. ANYWAYS goodnes i'm getting off track. He was has a very bad abscess type thing that has came up where the cut was. Another joy. >.> While I'm working on healing that, I'm also in the prosess of scrambling to get some tack together for the meantime. EVERY SINGLE PEICE OF TACK I OWN was broken that day. every single peice!! Rawr. </span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Well, this post is getting long, and i'm getting tired, SOOO cioa.</span>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-29686704677340965072010-03-08T16:15:00.002-05:002010-03-08T18:25:12.778-05:00WE'RE NOT DEAD!

Ceollection? WHAT?!?<span style="color:#000099;"> Wow, it's been forever since I've posted. D: </span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"> Sorry I've been neglecting my blog latley. School's been out all week due to ''snow'' :/ So no riding Blueforddd. BUTTT since I didn't get to trailer him over to the barn Saturday like I wanted to, my instructor came out and gave Blue and I a lesson. :) We worked on collecting, which I am AMAZED he picked up on it so quickly. We got collected walk, and a little collected trot. We didn't even attempt canter, but we worked on leads, which he got both of them eventually with a litle exaggerated rein aid... So I have found the saddle I've been searching for, and I'll have it by next week. I've also found a ttttrailer I'm possibly getting. (: Everythings kinda falling into place. </span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;">I bet your wondering about Indigo.... He's wonderfulll. A little off/lame but that's usual Indigo in the winter. Bless his heart. Hope he's better in time to foxhunt... :D </span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Well ima go guys. :] I might ride Blue later depends.. </span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Cio!</span>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-42436691263574451772010-02-02T18:59:00.001-05:002010-02-02T19:03:43.592-05:00ZEBRAAA! :DSo as the title says, I have latley descided that I love zebra tack! Blue is finally going to be able to fufill his life long dream of being a zebra! I am buying him this blanket:<br /><a href="http://www.wildhorsecolors.com/tough1600denierwaterproofturnoutblanket.aspx">http://www.wildhorsecolors.com/tough1600denierwaterproofturnoutblanket.aspx</a><br />:D also, they have zebra saddle pads, helmet covers, gloves, and much more zebra things. Do you really HAVE to have two colors for eventing??? Leave your comments on this issue. Ps, i've considered Blue's changing color and zebra seems to complement them all, dont they? xD Comment comment comment!!Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-88156861709325863362010-02-02T09:53:00.001-05:002010-02-02T10:47:03.329-05:00Weekend Snow<span style="color:#000066;">As the title says, the ''big snowstorm'' did come. Ugh! As has been said on alot of blogs I read, ''HORSE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO HATE SNOW!'' It's so icky. I went sledding and descided the walk up the hill isn't worth the slide back down. Anyways, Saturday was my my instructor's son's 16th Birthday party! Happy Birthday Reid! We went t0 an air museum, it was really cool with some really impressive peices of of history. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">As for riding, I rode Blue Thursday. It's like we finally ''clicked.'' He was doing as I asked and everything. Honestly the only things we need to work on now are minor: collection, non-giraffeness, and leads... Well, kind of minor. He backed up like it was nothiing, stuck off like a pro, I'm very impressed. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">And then we have Indy. :) We had a lesson Sunday, he threw a shoe. ARG! He wasn't too off though. All we did was walk/trot work, so nothing too strainious. He was lost some muscle over the past couple months. :( But that will build up no sweat in the spring. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Thats all for now, cio. <3</span>

I was just thinking about yesterday, and relized that this is totally blog-worthy-material. So the weather men have been screaming all week that a gigantic snow storm is coming today, and they were right! We've already gotten about an inch or two and it's not supposed to start heavily snowing until tonight. </span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Anyways, I seized the oppertunity to ride while it was still above sub-zero. This is where my adventure starts... </span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>So I get to the farm where Blue is currently living, and he is standing in ankle deep mud. I waddle over there in <em>tennis shoes</em> because I forgot my muck boots at the barn, and Blue descided to be a total butt-hole and just stand there eating. So I descided what-the-heck these are my old tennis shoes, I'll just get him and get out, no biggy. BIGGY. I sunk in half way up my lower leg, luckly I remembered to roll my jeans up, well I got stuck I managed to get loose... Minus a shoe. Blue started walking away, me there in my socks up to my lower legs in mud, trying to find a tennis shoe.. Underground.. All the while an EVIL mare trying to eat my jacket. I didnt find the shoe, I ruined the other one, now picture me. Stuck in mud, in my socks, waddeling after Blueford. Funny sight? I think so. My mom got some pictures I'll post later. </strong></span><br /><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span></strong><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">On the bright side, Blue was totally in sinc with me. [ps I rode in my moms socks that she took off for me xD] Totally dangerous. Oh well, i'll post the pics and a little more about the riding seperatly.</span>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-44039888555978555632010-01-27T21:46:00.000-05:002010-01-27T21:47:48.380-05:00Ohhh Forgot Somethinggg!<span style="color:#3333ff;">Ohh, sorry guys.

I actually just got back from the barn, I had a lesson on Indigo. Latley we've been working on sidepassing, shoulder-in, haunches-in, and halfpassing. If you look at a picture of Indigo, he is NOT the most comformationaly orrect Thoroughbred, INFACT he actually has poor conformation. Everybody at the barn calls him ''the bus'' because he is SO HARD to turn. His conformation and body style makes it hard for him to do bounces, hard for him to take one strided jumps, ANNND hard for him to do flextion ect. He is very dull to legs ect ect. He is slowley but surley waking up and moving. Last week I opened the arena handgate, <strong>and he sidepassed off my leg to swing open the gate! =ooo </strong></span><br /><span style="color:#003300;">I bet your wondering about Blue. Well it has been VERY mucky here and I can't ride him, :( hopefully tomorrow it will be better. I am conditioning him. :) should be fun hahaha. Cio guys. </span>Josiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342756817321299585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783213103811367066.post-8389344497171159682010-01-13T16:59:00.001-05:002010-01-15T15:31:41.577-05:00Diverse Day! :D<span style="color:#3366ff;">So as I said in my previous post of today that I was going to ride, and ride I did. I logged over 3 hours of saddle time today. WOW. I know I am <strong>amazing. </strong></span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">So you might be wondering about the title, ehh? Well today I rode 1. english. 2. western 3. bareback. Trying to get every part of Blue's brain thinking. Ugh I'm vewwy tired. I'll finish this later.. G' night. At 5 o'clock. xD </span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">As promised I finsihed a post for one. :D Blue is actually a better english horse than western. Haha how ironic is that? I am trailering Blue over for the next clinic, and the camp in the summer... It seems so far away. D: Ohh well... Well signing out. I may add a little more later.
