BEST REPORT CARD EVER! MY GPA IS A 3.9231! Just 2 year ago, I was struggling... i had like a 2.5! I'm so happeh!!!

OKay, but this is the best part... I had horseback riding lessons today.

I got there and Ashley went up to go get the horse, and I went to the tack room and got out the squeakiest saddle in the world. (It really is super squeaky) Anyway, I was watching her up getting the horse and she was talking to Kelly, the owner... and then Ashley pulled out Peanut. Peanut, Peanut, Peanut... First of all, Peanut's not even a lesson horse. It's Kelly's daughter's horse... Her barrel horse.

I've seen Allie working with Peanut down in the ring when I had lessons in the past. I always thought, "Wow, what an amazing team. I wish I could ride that well and have a horse that awesome." So... Kelly came down with Ashley and was like, "Okay, Sarah, we're gonna experiment with you a little bit." And I was like "okay?" Then she was like. "This. Is a barrel horse. A very touchy, amazingly responsive, FAST barrel horse." ANd I was like "Oh crap and OH YES!" at the same time. So, peanut's actually 14hh so she's a pony, and Ted LOVED her! (I miss Ted)

Anyway, I saddled up and they were talking about how if it didn't work out, they'd get me another horse out. So, that made me nervous. They were thinking I wouldn't be able to control her. And I don't blame them I'm pretty bad actually,because I'm terrible at having good position and riding well, but that's because I can't get the horse to KEEP going. But lemme tell you, Peanut was SO different. (And of course one week I was on the SLOWEST horse on the farm and next lesson they put me on the fastest ) H'okay, so I got on. I gently, barely actually, tapped her and she started walking. Walking fast. We went around the arena 3 times in the amount of time Kate and I would have made it around half the arena. And then when we were trotting she kept wanting to canter, and when I wanted her to walk, I could NOT get her to walk! Like, we had to have trotted the entire time and only walked like 5 minutes.

Her canter was so fast. She made me to really tight turns at the canter and all this stuff and I thought I was gonna come off multiple times. Then, she made me cut across the diagonal and something very strange happened... It felt weird... really fast... and then she started galloping. I couldn't get her to stop until we reached the door And I think she really stopped because there was a wall Okay, Ashley was like. "She just did a flying lead change!" And I was like "WHUT!?" Then, she kept making me do it. Since Peanut is a barrel horse, she automatically does flying lead changes, and let me tell you, she does it BEAUTIFULLY! So, Ashley kept making me cut across the diagonals and doing these flying lead changes, and it was weird! But I know I'm gonna have to be able to do it real good when I actually start to barrel race. Peanut was so much fun! Oh! And when we were done, we still had a few more minutes so Ashley had me try to spin her. I've seen Allie and Peanut spinning, and lemme tell you, she goes real fast. I couldn't spin her that well though, we got in one good fast spin, but that's because it was pulling my hip muscle. (I have bad hips) I probably shouldn't even ride

Anyway, they said it was just an experiment. Ashley said that I need a horse just like Peanut, but a little more mellow. They don't have one I hope I can ride her again, but I don't know if Allie liked the fact that her horse was being used for a lesson. Then again, she didn't look like she had a problem with it when I came up. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, SHE NECK REINED!! Thank Goodness!! I've been aching to neck rein forever!!! Okay, well I gotta go. This whole journal was rushed cause I'm tryin' to watch Bones so sorry for bad grammar and rAndomLy capitaliZed letterS! Cause I do that a lot...

OKAY BAI!

Oh Rowan turns 2 on November 21! I think...
