So I have mildly interesting news. First of all, I am 99.9% done with my first year of college. Finals = death, though, which is why there was no Fashion Thursday post last week. I have one more final to take, but it's online and isn't due until tomorrow. That means that, since I have nothing left to do on campus, I moved out on Friday, and I am now home for the summer. My first focus will be on getting my license. I'm fortunate enough to already have a job lined up, plus I still blog horsey things with Intrepid. Once I become a legal driver, I'm aiming to ride 5-6 times a week depending on what I'm able to ride. My summer plans are set! Booty needs #werk Now, on the side of all that, I'm also trying to learn French and German. The German is actually because I might transfer schools in the event of President Trump (though I also found an AWESOME, 4 semester Master's program that I might do anyway). French is being more or less relearned. I did my three...

Well, technically, nine months, not including breaks and general trips home. In this course of time, I've ridden 20 different horses and ponies. I did three shows and currently have eight points going into next year. I'm hoping to qualify for regionals, but this post ain't about the future, it's about the past (and partially the present). September: A month of me crying to Kal because I didn't know where anything was. I still haven't dropped my lost freshman status. On my third lesson, I met Pixel for the first time , and it seems we've been taking weird distances since day one. Love at first sight October: Ok, this was a big month apparently. I put in a valiant effort and was actually able to have a productive ride on Vick , then realized that ponies don't like me (but Cooler is still a cutey). Sidenote: Vick doesn't do selfies. We also made the trip to watch WIHS . I had my first show at the end of the month, wherein I screwed up entirel...

Yup, last lesson of the semester, and of course I finished it out with my dear not pony Pixel. A lot of other riders had to do make up lessons, so we had five people added to our already full lesson group, making for 10 horse & rider pairs in the Dressage sized indoor. Fun times. Pixie Sticks didn't make it easy, though. We were pretty adjustable at the trot, but we haven't figured out true contact entirely. He's still so looky. Permanent baby mode. My sitting trot still needs some work (damn stiff ankles). He cantered beautifully, right off my legs and into my hands. He's quite nice when he acts grown. Gonna miss post lesson tacos Jumping was eventful as usual. I came off (again) because apparently we are also afraid of bricks. We went over that thing, like, four more times, and he didn't even balk. Once he gets his refusal out, everything is smooth sailing. For me, it was a matter of getting up and not catching him with my hands on the backside of t...

I had one makeup lesson for this semester since I had to skip out on the one before spring break. I joined the beginner lesson on Monday since they also needed a make-up. Of course, the relentless rain over the past week or so made for gross conditions outside, but the indoor would have been uncomfortably hot, so outside we went. He's precious I was on Smooch. He's an ex-hunter, and boy-o-boy does he need some leg (and spurs). He's cute though and fits right in with the other big grey geldings in my life. We did a ton of flatwork. Coach's goal for me was to just get Smooch moving forward, and he complied quite well. I had done my stretches quite quickly, but they more or less got the job done. I had some tightness to the right that I was able to work out of. Smooch was pretty good except for not wanting to pick up his right lead. It took some convincing. I jumped a bit, just two fences in a line. We trot in the first and second time then cantered through the ...

Fun Fact: I plan on having nine kids. Another Fun Fact: I don't want a single one of them riding horses because I plan on being rich but not that rich. That being said, it'd be nice to have them dress the part, and Mini Britches makes it easier to do just that. Mini Britches is an equestrian themed apparel company specializing in clothing for babies and toddlers. Their current line of clothing feature English riding style prints in white, orange, and pink. If I'm being honest, I've never seen a onesie with elbow patches, but now that I have, I'm convinced that it's the greatest thing in the world.

Just imagine a tiny baby on a cute lil' pony wearing these with those super tiny paddock boots and a polo shirt. Even if you don't like kids, it's an adorable thing to picture.
