it got canceled due to major flooding :( and now i think the actual one day event will get canceled this weekend. We are on flood watch and they are predicting more rain.. I did go out to my jumping instructors and have lessons though, I'm still recovering.. hahaha.. Horses worked so well in the end.. but bloody hell they made me work for it.. haha.. that sounds great! Yay charlie.. im sure you'll get it by the end of the week.. This week, lots of riding.. concentrating on each horses issues, phil is too quick and runs often flattening out so she is doing lots of slow canter with heaps of impulsion.. and sam has been ignoring my leg, so i am reintroducing it to him and teaching him again what it means.. and looking for a job.. Oh and i bought a car! lol

I know everyone says it.. But school really is a great time and enjoy it :) haha.. Good luck.. I just got offered a lift to the NSW state jumping titles.. so i will be doing the same this week.. and A LOT of fitness (for both of us. haha).. and I'm trying to convince mum she wants to make the trip to sydney for the aust youth titles..

this will be my last year of school, then i have to decide what im gonna do with my life...scary! il miss friends etc but mostly i dont want to grow up haha i wont miss exams tho! im fed up with it all. i get my results on thursday morning so fingers crossed! flatwork was really good today, i started off lunging charlie, then my friend lunged him with me on him and then i did a bit of transitional work off the lunge. It went well he was working through his back and would duck in and out of the outline, progress has been made :) but im paying for it now lol im tempted to ask danny for dressage lessons...but i know for sure it will hurt ALOT haha, he's the kind of man that enjoys seeeing others in pain! awk fitness work is banterous! let me know how it goes. it goes without a question that charlie is way fitter than me, i cant get him to sweat, maybe a bit on the girth but im tellin ya he is a machine! good luck with convincing your mum sounds like its worth the journey!
