My New Horse.

Do you know how good it sounds to say, 'My horse Sam.' ??
He is the most amazing gelding on the planet!! I could never live with out him, he is my everything.
No more to say, other than; I Love Sam.

Vetting.

Okay, so today was Sam's vetting. He passed, so there is a 98% chance that we will get him. We are sorting out price and all that jazz. I am sooooo looking forward to being able to say 'My horse Sam.' :DD
Thats all I want to say.

Oh, one more thing; many people have told me that he is not worth it, I don't care if he is not 100% perfect or the best horse out there. The main thing is, I Love Him. Nothing will ever change that. I can't live another day without him.

No more 'Miss Nice Girl'.

My ride today really made me realize that I need to be tougher and get on with it! 
If Sam bucks when I ask him to canter then I will kick him through it and make him canter until I want to stop, not him. He will listen to what I say. I am too weak, I let him get away with to much when we do flatwork.
Time to change it!
Sorry for the randomosity of this all :).

Dressage Test.

In my lesson today, my instructor decided that we would do a dressage test :S
She, herself, is doing a dressage test.
We didn't do the whole outline thing, just the school movements and transitions. He was really good, falling slightly through his inside shoulder, but that is just a bad habit he has. We also did walk to canter transitions, that was really good. I just need to be stronger and sit back more. He kicks out sometimes when you ask for canter, but again that can all be fixed with some proper schooling.

Not much else,

Vetting :S

Sam is getting vetted on Monday 5th :S
I really hope he does well, I am not expecting him to pass with flying colours, but he shouldn't fail miserably.

Clipping :S

So, Sam was at risk of mud fever so I asked if they could clip his legs.
They started doing it Tuesday(?), but he FREAKED out. So they left it for a day, so he could calm down. We then tried again todayyy. He had to have the twitch put on, he really fought against it at first, but then he calmed down enough that we could finish the clip.
Now all his legs are clipped and he looks soooooo snazzyyyy :DD

He had a minor cut on his leg so that was washed out and so were his heels, the Sudocream was put on. So he is ready for tomorrow :DD

New Years Day hack!! 2hr :DD

Hacking :) Best thing in the world, a chance to let Sam go and have some funnn.
So on Thursday I was asked if I would like to go on a 2hr hack, obviously on Sam :D
He was sooooo goooooddddd :DD
He lurvvveeed it so much, lokking everywhere and ears pricked the whole time. He felt so nice when we cantered, bouncy. Then, as it was a two hour, we had a gallop :DDD
He wasn't galloping just yet, so I gave him a kick and his entire back end was in the air!! Then we were off!! The wind was in his and mine face, that by the end of it, he had curtains :P

I was the only one to ride him, so that was a really nice way to start off the New Year :DD
