I have been busy, christmas was a blast, I got all the winter riding gear I need for my whole life, and I got a white christmas with my horsey. :D I was sick for most of our break, so I did not do much riding. Then I went off to NYC with one of my friends from Germany over new years, and that was SO much fun but I missed Lyra tuns even though it was only 4 days... shows my attachment. I got home yesterday afternoon, feeling a little excited that second semester is starting soon, and that summer is 6 months away!
I went out to the barn today, and rode Lyra for the first time in 2 weeks! She was so wonderful.... it was great! I love it when she feels like a million bucks! Also sense I have last blogged, I have started working out again, but not just running like I used to do, i mean REALLY working out. Going to the gym after the barn and before homework. It has been awesome, im getting stronger everyday, something I have missed. However, I have to say that working out is so boring I have no way to escape it, even listening to music does not always do it! I am so happy that I do a sport that is NEVER boring no matter what.So, as you also know I am working all summer 2012 for Jessica Halliday at Highland Acres Equestrian Center, and I am SO looking forward to it. Jessica is currently down in Florida enjoying the winter riding and competing, something I can only dream of. Because school ends in 6 months, that means I have 6 months to make Lyra the BEST horse she can be, and the most prepared I can make her for her new job as a competing event horse. I cant wait to see what the winter brings, I hope its good :D
Sorry its been so long, talk soon!
-Ellie and her dreams of greener pastures... :D
