the farrier came today. had easter and tango's feet done. both of them were really good. even tango.
after they left i rode brandy. i rode her on the lunge line. she doesn't really lunge, but i wanted to be able to pratice sitting her trot and my form and everything, which i can't really do in our pasture, because i'm concentrating on where she's going/stepping, etc. and she got the hang of it really fast. i did a ton of walk/trot work. she doesn't walk in a complete circle, just a half circle. lol, so that was interesting, to say that least. i'm doing much better sitting her trot though, so it was all worth it. i intend to do it again on friday, before the next playday. my goal is be loping confidently by the end of the month, so i need to start working on that.
and heyyy, it's october first! awesomeness. i love october. it's always been my favorite month. maybe because it's my birthday month [14 days until my 17th birthday] but i think i would love it even if it wasn't. i've always loved fall. i love the leaves changing colors, and the smell in the air, the cooler and shorter days. it's all just awesome. I also love how fall is a transition month. next month we will be making pumpkin pies and wearing long sleeve shirts, waitng for thanksgiving. and then december, when things turn really cold and we wait for snow, talk about mistletoe and set up Christmas trees. there's people buying Christmas gifts and brightly colored wrapping paper. all of it's just amazing, i love this time of year. it's the best.
after riding, i went into town to the 4H office and got my state record book back, along with my 4H projects that went to the state fair, and me and rendi worked on our health rocks! project, which we are presenting tomorrow. so we'll see how that goes. i'm a little scared, but not really. at least not yet. i tend not to freak out about things too badly. usually at least. XD
