Horsegirl problems ...

I had Sunny doing the sweetest, slowest WP jog today in the ring ... the only thing is, I don't know exactly what I did to get it ... sigh ...

You Are My Sunshine

My lease is up at the end of July ... and this past weekend my husband, my Hollywood let me know that after my lease is over, he will buy me my horse ...

My Sunshine!

I am over the MOON!  I go between happy tears, to pinching myself to see if this is really real.

There has NEVER been a happier little girl than me ... even if I'm way past the "little girl stage"!!!

Oh What A Night!

Had an awesome tailgate/birthday party at the barn tonight for Bridget!

My favorite part ... another bareback ride on Sunny ... we played Sit A Buck ... and the most amazing thing is I actually trotted bareback!!!  I lost the competition because I didn't canter, but that's all OKAY ... because I trotted and stayed on!!!

Then I watched a great demonstration of a reining horse with the barn owner ... and then got to ride on that horse ... he was not Sunny ... he was fast and full of himself and NOT more whoa than go ... but I rode him and I trotted him and I wasn't afraid!

I love my barn!!! ... and margaritas!!!

Size Smaller Jeans!

I bought a pair of very stretchy, slim fit jeans to wear for riding today ... they're not the gorgeous Ariat Riding Jeans ... but the "Dress Barn with an online coupon jeans" ... to replace my original ones ...

And the original ones served me well ... stretching where I needed stretch, allowing me to hoist a leg over Sunny's big tall body ... and letting me sit trot, post trot, lope (not really, but a great canter) and even muck a few stalls ...

But ...

Lately they've been very loose (praise God!) so apparently my Weight Watchers membership has been paying off ...

Today I decided it was time to replace said jeans ... so I went to Dress Barn (HA, get it ... jeans for riding horses ... Dress Barn ... barn ... okay only funny to me ...) and tried on one size smaller ... HA ... take that, try TWO sizes smaller ... oh yes, they fit, oh yes, did a little dance ... Oh yes ... bought some other stuff I didn't need ... Oh Crap ... gotta tell my husband that my new riding jeans WITH A COUPON ended up costing $70 (because of the cute skirt and not matching cute top ... dammit)!!!

I Luvs Him

Seriously ... there are probably 1,000 (or a zillion) horses out there in the world that are better for me than Sunny ... but you know what ... I don't care ... this boy has stolen my heart and I don't know what our future brings, but I luvs him!!!

Yup ... that's it ...

Handsome Boy!

He shines like a new penny!
