#horsey problems

[seriesofmishaps]

Hi-Ho Silver

As a teenager I was out horseriding. I went for a gallop, and my horse ended up turning unexpectedly around a sharp corner. I did not turn with him. I flew off and landed head first. When I woke up, I didn't know my name, or where I was, or who I was. My friends found me - I didn't recognise them but they seemed to know me so I went along with them. My memories came back in about half an hour. Well, I *think* they came back...

So the one barn that’s looking for someone to come out in the mornings and work listed their ad as “someone to work for lessons”, but the only things they teach are classical dressage and Western dressage. Annd I’m not really one for Dressage personally. I was thinking about contacting them and asking if they’d be willing to let someone work out there and get paid with money, but I feel like that’d be a little rude? I’m not sure, just feels rude. 

There’s a barn literally 0.1 miles (a 2 minute walk) from my house, but I’m more than sure its a private barn. I’ve been debating whether or not asking if they need someone to help work out on their farm, but I also feel like that’d be a little rude?? I don’t know if it is or not? I really need a job at a barn, especially making money so I can pay for my own lessons and not have to rely on my parents. (and also if I could get a more permanent job at a barn, I could work for buying my own horse too)

I dunno, I don’t know if I should ask about these two barns or not???

You know you're horsey when you use horse lineaments for bad muscles

Horsey worry/rant under the cut

oh my god. this can't be happening. i had an absolutely fantastic lesson today, Jazzy was as racy as usual but willing to come back, and I got to jump her a few times so yay go me! But then I get off and go to untack and get her cleaned up and one of my trainers, stephne, comes up as she's getting her western kids ready and tells me that if we can't get her slowed down and doing what they want, they might have to sell her. 

are

you

freaking

kidding 

me?

i love steph, she's like a second mom to me, but seriously?? seriously?!? does she realize how much i adore that horse? how hard i fought and clawed all summer long to get back on her and keep taylor and adisen away from her? i was willing to give up jumping to stay on that horse, and now that i'm finally back on her, she chooses now to decide to consider selling her?? what?? even?! i'm going back out there this weekend probably, and I am going to go up to steph and say "look, i understand jazzy is not my horse, i am not leasing her, i have no say in what you do with her, because she's your horse, not mine, but please, please, give me a chance. i will do anything to keep her here; I will come out every day and work with her, buy her any supplement under the sun, any manual labor you ask of me, anything. but please, please, please, for the love of god, don't send away the reason i get out of bed most mornings. please."

god please don't do this.

One day I will be rich enough to hire a groom but until then it's me that has to go ride and haul horse shit around in the pissing rain.

Yes it's 5 degrees outside.

Yes I'm still going riding.

My finger started randomly bleeding during my lesson, so now I have blood on my favorite saddle pad... Not cool.
