Recently, my mom and I have been talking a lot about switching barns. Currently the one we are at is the best for the price, but board got raised again and others do have their advantages.

My old trainer moved (and we were really close) because our current barn owner MADE her, power struggle, and we wanted to go with them; where they are does not have nighttime lights or a landline phone, and therefore would not be too safe at night if you were alone, or if there was an emergency....

I just got back from the barn and I had the most wonderful day EVER with Isabel.

Recently we have really been working on trailer training, and basically started from scratch (me and my Mom) after realizing we know our horse and other people's methods were not Isabel's style. She isn't some horse that can be told what to do, she has anxiety and we had to address that. Well today for the second time we got her all the way into the trailer and with the butt bar up, AND she was very relaxed...

After Mister died, we are all really sad, and Zoe is lonely, so today we got a new pup! His name is Gromit and he's a cutie!

Finished finals today, all I have left is an SAT II on Saturday!!! YAY!!!!

Isabel and I haven't had very good rides recently. She has been very strong and energetic recently, uncharacteristically so.

I tried to go on trail on Tuesday, but she was being so antsy I was worried for safety so we promptly went home and she got her butt worked off so she realized that a relaxing trail ride would have been more fun. The dog pouted

I feel bad since we have to work so hard recently to get anything accomplished. I've tried everything, barely pushing...
