Well, I had my first dressage lesson yesterday, and I have never realized how bad my circles, legs and hands are. Until Emilie told me yesterday. She said since I wanted to do clinics and shows that she was being extra tough on me.

The good thing is she said Penny had a lot of potential and that she was very cute and had great movement. She said we should think about breeding her to one of her Andalusian stallions. You know how cute that would be a half-Andalusian! I was thinking when it was time for her to retire from riding that I would breed her. But after Sassy died of colic at four month old. I couldn’t loose a baby, it would kill me.

I have another lesson next week, which is yet to be schedules since I get my work schedule today.

I’ve came to the conclusion that most young people come to, parents don’t understand. In my case it is my mother, she goes and order herself nice riding boots knowing I want to show and currently don’t have tall boots that fit. So she say’s she’ll get me some in a couple of weeks (which are $100 cheaper then the ones she ordered). She knows I’ll won’t be able to afford to purchase boots and pay for lessons, board and horse shoes.

I work hard for my money, and it is not fair that I have no money because I have to buy the groceries, put gas in the car, when my brother does nothing.
