There is a post going around facebook about putting one good thing in a jar and looking at it at the end of the year, I am going to write a blog post everyday instead. Or at least a couple times a week. My good thing for today is that I got to ride.
I got to ride today, it was cold and cloudy but not windy. I let Charmer zip around the arena for a few minutes to let off some steam. I took a dressage whip with me but figured that I wouldn't need it since it was cold and he would be forward. It turns out I should have taken it. He was a lug, ears perked at everything but what I wanted him to do, the dogs were going to eat him. We walked for about 10 minutes to get good and warmed up then started trotting. He was such a jerk, wouldn't keep trotting, would stop mid-stride which puts me off balance. Need to get stronger abs. I couldn't seem to get balanced with him, I just felt off. Once I got warmed up I felt better. Not sure if it is due to not wearing my tall boots or what. My saddle is pitching me forward, going to have to figure out how to fix it. There is no way that I can afford to buy a County, as much as I want one it is just not going to happen.
I got a response about the archives certificate program at East TN college, I am going to apply for it. Hopefully will be able to start in the summer. That would only be a few months of no learning. I think that I could do that, I can always read.
