I'm not up to much. Just got back from doing some grocery shopping. I've been working full time between semesters trying to earn some extra money to pay off next semester's tuition bill. Been writing some music to pass the time. I haven't been riding for three whole weeks and I'm starting to go insane. :-( The weather has been terrible, and then there was christmas and new years and then my trainer decided to go to Pennsylvania for the week. Darn her.
How have you been?

Been busy but fine. I was riding 2-3 xs a week but now down to 1 lately because of work and the weather. No big deal to you long time riders but I'm really pleased with myself. I've gone to trotting a few feet with a horse taking me all over the place to troting a whole lesson, in and out of cones, where ever I want her to go. Still looking for that best seat though. I'm finding it but keep losing it. My trainer says that's ok because I have a very bouncy horse though. I haven't been brave enough to canter/lope yet. I want to get a little more secure troing. It's gonna happen soon though caz Sarah Lee has several speeds of trotting and I keep bumping her up. She can only go so fast and she likes to go. My trainer laughs and tells me I "better slow her down" if I'm gonna stay trotting. I can't make myself do it but it's just a matter of time before I push her up while riding. Funny huh? I was the same way going from a walk to a trot:')
