Is Athens a mixed breed or is he pure Polish? A mixed breed could account for him missing a Polish V-Comb?Good morning!
I’ve not been out to check on them today. I woke up about an hour ago (10:30) and have been feeling under the weather.
I’ve not ridden in a while. I honestly stopped riding in November, and haven’t really ridden since. It’s probably been two years since I’ve ACTUALLY ridden. Like, cantered and didn’t feel like the horse was going to end my life.
I will be quite honest, I am so grateful Mom and Dad bought me a horse, but Auggie was not a good fit for me. I am grateful we gave him back to his old owners, who sold him to a lesson program. Technically, both them and the lesson program own him.
Auggie was just never fun to ride. He was a good horse to hug and talk to if I was having a hard day, but certainly not ride.
I’ve asked Dad if I can go back to riding at my old barn, even just once a month, and he has said no every time. What I don’t understand though, is that he has his old salary back. I know he could afford it, especially one lesson a month, because he afforded four lessons and sometimes a show, every month for YEARS. It’s whatever though, I won’t be able to change his mind.
There was a day-long horse camp two weeks ago, and I really wanted to go. It was $95 and you got to ride twice as much as you did at a normal horse camp. So roughly for about two hours, two different times. I even offered to pay for the whole thing if they could just take me to the camp. Nope.
I’ve been saving money so that I can buy books that I really want, and I was willing to give up most of it just so I can ride for two hours and muck out stalls.
It really annoyed me.
I hope your aching gets better so you can get back in the saddle!
Tax: My little Athens last night. See how his comb is nowhere to be found?…View attachment 4215862
Oh, I have eggcellent news!
I was just talking to Mom, and she said I can get back on here fully. I am setting some ground rules for myself though.
If I have homework, I will not be on here until it is done.
In fact, right now I have a ton of homework. What I will do on the weekends if I have homework is this: finish one assignment and come on here for just a few minutes and then finish another assignment.
She also said that if Dad ever find out I’m back on here, she will stand up for me, which is nice. I don’t like keeping secrets from him, but it was her idea.
Tax: Me and my friends new chicks at school! View attachment 4215867
Those look like Polish chicks? So cute
my nieces had to prove to me they had their schoolwork done before I would drive them anywhere.
