Okay I have two things to talk about.

I just bought a new horse trailer (well it's new to me....) It's stuctually sound and cosmetically it's really not that bad. I will probably have it painted eventually, but it really isn't bad at all. I am so excited, it's a two horse so it's a good sized, it has a new floor, new tires and new paint recently....but it will need to be painted eventually, like I mentioned. Jake has been in it before a couple of times, as my friend let me borrow it to take him for surgery . I have had it since then and just needed to see if I could afford it financially. Well, we just agreed on a price of $850.00 and I am going to own it....wo hoooo.....my other half is going to go through now and fix all the easy stuff that no one took the time to .
Oh Jake is going to be thrilled !!!!

Next thing....I was in my lesson last night. We were doing a small jumping course, and I was cantering up to a vertical....well I took the turn too wide needless to say we came at the jump crooked and I said "well we're not straight but we're going anyway!!" Well we did cause the horse I ride is amazing (Jake will be able to do all this one day...) and TJ just does everything you want. Problem was I don't think I really expected TJ to go as early as he did. He took off early and suprised me , after we got over I kinda landed on his neck like a big dope.. ..and then on top of all that, lost my stirrup.....This does not normally happen to me so I was shocked too....and TJ being as great as he is just cantered away slowly. Well, I ALMOST went off, but managed to compose myself, except my pride. Good thing it was just my trainer there.....well needless to say she took away my stirrups and I did the rest of the lesson without them...that'll learn me....

As I will be moving Jake to a place with an indoor I am hoping to get him jumping too, maybe one day he will be as tolerable as TJ (True Justice).

I had fun and can laugh now, but yesterday I felt like a big dope!!!
