Zips Classy Chassy, or Chass as I like to call her did much better today in the round pen. She only kicked once or twice, and the bucking, rearing, and striking was non-existent. I got to work with her a little bit too, that is after Jayme ran her around a few times. She really is well, semi-sweet, although rebellious. I still love her. Later however, she got something she thoroughly needed. We put Lucky in the pen with her and they had a go at it before happily eating their hay on opposite sides of the pen. Lucky was definitely in charge though, as he chased her around a few times himself.
On the other hand, Odie caught a rat when we got home and it was huge. I almost touched it again, but narrowly missed it when I saw the tail. I still remember the time I actually touched one he had killed, never again.

Okay, I get the point..
Anyway first of all in my time absent from this amazing spot that I use to vent, I AM NOW A BLACK BELT. I know, I stink, I just had to wait two months too write this, Like I said, SLACKER . Still I am glad that me and my Grandma pushed through and earned it, with the help of our instructors of coarse, and I must say I was quite exhausted after the test, tiered enough to go to bed without taking anything off, including my dear tennis shoes.
The next thing I am so eager to tell you about would be my amazing new project that goes by the name of, The Blond Menace. Not only do I ride him whenever I get my butt down to the stables, but I also got to ride him in a show this Saturday. I wasn't on him for ten seconds before he began bucking, and I ended up on his neck, holding on for dear life until he stopped. After I got myself back in the saddle he proceeded with the bucking until I had to finally dismount and lunge him before my dressage test. He only bucked once or twice after that, but it is not the end of the story. During my Cross-country part of the event, My dear Menace decided it would be fun to try running, and he actually enjoyed bolting off after every jump. Which may I inform you is a ginormous accomplishment, as my crop was much less than needed during the venture. Oh my dear Lucky. He did finally decide to calm down though for the last event, show jumping, and we got a clear round. I can't tell you where I placed or anything because both me and the one person I was competing with in my division both had enough refusals to be disqualified. Her and I agreed that we both had tied for first.GO Horses!
I now have a new blog I will be posting my stories on, it is located: Here. My friend and I will also be posting our book reviews and suggestions on the same blog. I will continue with this one also, so don't worry.
Anyway, I will leave you guys with that for the moment. Have fun, keep reading, and just be you.
