Matthew Leave Me Alone!
Short Post.
I missed yesterday because my internet was dead for most of the day due to wind. I haven't been able to try the saddle yet, because impending hurricane. Dontcha Know? Once the storm is through (hopefully Sunday) I will be trying out this dang saddle. I am also going to order a new hackamore and bridle if it fits, so I can begin that training soon. I have so many things I want to do and get that I am spinning in circles right now. I need a list and a plan.
Anyone who is in range of the hurricane or weather from it be safe! Also fill up all buckets and troughs with water and maybe a trash can or two if you can. If your electricity craps out then you will be glad you did. Remember water for yourself to. 1 Gallon per person per day. I also buy bags of ice and toss them in my chest freezer so my food will be safer a little longer. You will never be upset that you were too prepared.

It's Here!!!!!
It's been a mess and I almost didn't manage to write today. Good news!!! The saddle is here. I opened the box, held it up, and determined that it was in fact a saddle. I will be trying it on Rev tomorrow weather permitting.
The meeting last night went well. I timed all feeding and naps accordingly and it wasn't a meltdown like I thought it would be. I was prepared to leave immediately if necessary. I may be paying for that today though.
Better post tomorrow. Hopefully...

Renewing Membership and a New Membership
I am making an effort to do more horse related activities. I always decline or find a way out of socializing. I am doing the Write 31 Days Challenge just to make myself be 'out there'. Quite honestly I would rather be journaling these entries away safely for me alone. I am very introverted. I won't usually talk in a crowd. I just keep to myself and listen to everyone else. Once I know someone I will talk your head off though. I am attending a Horsemanship Club meeting this evening in an effort to get out there and *do* more horse stuff. They are going to be having little shows, clinic, trail rides, and maybe an endurance-y type ride or clinic. So I am pretty excited.
Daddy and Daughter. They are pretty hilarious together. They chase each other up and down the fence and "bite" one another all day. |

New Saddle on The Way!!!
So I have finally ordered a saddle for a 21 day trial. I didn't want to spend a fortune on it. I know that as Rev gets fit his shape will change and I will probably need another saddle. With that in mind I purchased an Abetta Endurance saddle Wide, Full Quarter Horse Bars, and a 3/4 rigging. Hopefully it be wide enough in the shoulders and flat enough to fit Rev. I'm also pretty excited about the 3/4 rigging. I intend to convert the rigging from a western cinch to work with a dressage girth if the saddle fits. I will also most likely change the western fenders out with some leathers. This saddle comes with the big 4" endurance stirrups to so I can give them a try. If I like them I can order better ones with cages and keep the originals for spares. ZOMG!!! I have to practice restraint. I want to buy All The Things!

Write 31 Days Challenge. Challenge Accepted.
I am going to attempt the Write 31 Days Challenge for October. I am hoping that it will help kick off this blogging habit I am trying to get going. I struggle to write about things that I think a reader would perceive to be inane. The thing is though I started this blog as a journal for me. Really to keep up with what's going on with my horse and maybe a little 'life' crap too. So I am going to do that for 31 days. Then I should keep it up after that.

Some People... Well They're Morons.
You know until I moved here I had no idea. The other day we had some people come trim trees. I let them know if they need to go into Field A that the bull is in there and don't let him out. He's a youngun' and isn't interested in people except those with food. Plus the cattle dog was in with them and she won't let him near you unless you that'll do/down/stay her. I then said if you need to go into Field B(Rev's field) to let me know and I will get him out of there so you can go in. I'm then informed that one of the guys was raised with horses, isn't scared of them etc. and I don't need to worry. I respond with well that's nice but let me know so I can get him out of there. It was just this huge back and forth about a bunch of crap until I got mad and told them to stay out of his fucking field. It was a real mess. People don't understand liability until something happens and Mr. Ain't Skeered the redneck is suing you for getting him's wittle fingers bit off. Field C contains Mare, Filly, and Heifers and there was no need to go in there.
