DURADO ON MONDAY!!!! ♥♥

OH. MY. GAWD.

I RODE DURADO ON MONDAY!!!!!! He was ah-mazing to ride, and extremely difficult to tack up and brush since he's a baby and tries to nip at you every two seconds. Durado is one of Anne's horses, and used to be on the track. He has been showing with Karl for aorund 2 months or so, so I was impressed. He canters PERFECTLY, and naturally puts his head down in the on the bit position, with just a little suppling. Durado jumps PERFECTLY as well!! He will round his back over the jump, just like a professionally trained jumper would. I just can't believe that Durado is like, 3, and is already doing all of this. Also, he's not terribly spooky, which is good for him at his age. Lordy was freaking out over the shadows, and Durado could care less. MAN I LOVE DURADO!! [[Reno had a day off since he was on a show Friday, Saturday, Sunday....He was 8th!!]]

I also rode Lordy, and did a little dressage and a little jumping with him. Mad got on Lordy once, and so we switched horses to ride. Soooo, I was riding Broad!! It was kinda funny because in one day, I had ridden all of Anne's horses at the barn. Hehe. Broad has a big stride, and was lisghtly lame in his left hind, so I was like "Wooow." Broad ended up liking me a bunch, which was kinda funny. Lordy is just, Lordy.

School has been a mess, but a fun mess!! I enjoy the part of school, but I hate the homework part, and the detention part, and yea. Of course, my fav class is BAND!! I was in the band last year, and so Mr. Alexis is still my band teacher. WHOO!!

I tried cross-country yesterday and boy do I hurt. OUCH. I think that after a few practices I'm gonna pull out, because I'm really not meant to be a runner, I've learned....

School starts soon, gotta runnnn!
