Mare

So I went up to ride my friend’s appendix who reminded me do much of Snap. Even down to her routines and her stiffness to the left. But I did learn I know a lot more about horses than I thought. I asked if she was on a joint supplement and she said bute :(. I asked how long and she said a long time :(. My stomach hurt for her! But we did get along really well and she is westernish so i had to really really used seat for everything (oh yeah, port bit :( ). So… I’ll give it a shot when I can since it is 45 minutes from my house. I really do like the mare but I can tell she is hurting in that same hind leg as Snap :(.

Hang-over

And today I cried and cried because I miss Snap so much it hurts. It is easy to not deal with it but yesterday was such a “normal” day at the barn and she wasn’t there. And Rock now lives in her stall. And no horse will ever replace her.

I rode!

I rode Lump :)! It was fun but he was an ass when we were done because his BFF was turned out without him so the 20 something acted like a 2 year old while I hosed him off and it reminded me what a PITA horses can be lol. But I got his canter no problem and that is saying a lot since I’ve ridden 2 times since November. And really I haven’t consistently ridden since last July.

Going to try my friend’s mare on Sunday! A little western should be fun.

Horses

You guys…I think I’m ready. My friend is studying for the bar and needs a rider for her mare up in Pennington. So I’m going there Sunday morning. And! I just went out to the Whitsell farm in Moorestown (um amazingly gorgeous!!) and I’m going there Sunday afternoon to work with a young mare just off the track! Good thing Snap got me mare trained :).

Law school is where smart people go to feel dumb.

Just Rocked Trial Advocacy with an A

If only to be a trial attorney you didn’t really need to do criminal law- not something I want to do. We shall see where this career takes me….
