"Give me love like her,
'Cause lately I've
been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let
them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my
blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya."
- Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran
I just need to start off by saying THANK YOU to
everyone who offered me horses after my last blog. It means a lot to me. I am blessed to have amazing people looking out for me.
Mystic had her second shock wave session last tuesday. I went in thinking it would be quick, and we'd be on our way, but thats not what happened. We spent three and a half hours there because Dr. Honas wanted to double check himself. When he blocked her bad fetlock, she was still lame but not as bad. So he started blocking up. What did he find? Once he blocked her high suspensory, she was completely sound. Suspensory is a word an eventer never wants to hear. So yeah. She got shock waved on both her fetlock and her suspensory. Her next appointment is next week so we'll see if anything changes. Honestly, though, at this point, we are looking at a year or more off, and she probably wont jump prelim again.
Thats one thing I've been thinking about; eventing. I don't have a horse thats ready to show right now in it anyway. I talked last week about my ambition to ride on an equestrian team. I met with the TCU coach when I took a horse to Mike's. I have things to work on because my style of riding is a little different, but I think I can do it. Working hard to fix things isn't a problem with me. So I think I'm going to spend a lot of time in the hunter/jumper ring this year as well as maybe do a dressage show or two if I have a horse.
I almost bought a new horse. His names Victor. He's fantastic and I absolutely love him, but unfortunately it didn't work out for a sale. Luckily his owner is allowing me to continue to ride him until I find something else, so thanks Paula. That means so much to me.
I start school next week. Can I start hyperventilating yet? 'Cause I'm gonna be a senior and thats utterly terrifying. My little brothers going to be a freshmen so thats the first time we are going to be at the same school. It's like all of sudden it everything with graduating and college is hitting me. Lettermen's, class rings, graduation pictures, college apps, transcripts, hard classes. Its funny really. Senior year is supposed to be the easiest, ha, not for me. I'm in two AP classes, two dual credit college classes and more. Its going to be a long year, but I'm looking forward to it.
Anyway, in all the craziness that seems to be my life right now, its nice to have school starting so I can focus on something again and I'm happy to be going back to an actual school. I didn't like home school. Thank you again to everyone for looking out for me again and having my back. I'll keep you updated on Mystic. She goes back next week!
