Ugh.

Okay, so this entry is basically for what happened on Monday, the 27th.

So, I go to my Monday night horseback riding lesson, which is at 5:00. I'm riding O'Rion, and doing really good. Except, then we're cantering, and he's being a total butt head, trying to go to the middle, trotting really fast, and refusing to canter. Absolute butt. Anyways, the barn owner, Barb, was like, "Get that girl off my horse right now! I'm so tired of re-schooling him, and now I see what the problem is. She needs to go back to Dreamer (a beginner pony) and get this crap resolved." I started crying SO hard. There I was, trying my best, and Barb was telling me that I was ruining her horse. And she called me 'that girl.' I PAY 30 FREAKING DOLLARS AN HOUR AND BOARDED MY HORSE THERE FOR FOUR FREAKING MONTHS. MY FREAKING NAME IS KATIE GOSHDANGIT! Luckily, my trainer, Kris, immediately told Barb off, chewing her out. Well, she didn't do it in front of us, but she went over and talked to Barb. When she came back, I was still bawling, because I really didn't mean to 'ruin' O'Rion. He's just a pain in the butt sometimes. Anyways, Kris told me that 'she kicked Barb's butt for that' and that I wasn't ruining O'Rion, and how she doesn't know how Barb could say that. Barb never apologized to me though...I hate her. She is a bitch. She's always screaming at her lesson kids, and shes SO mean. All the time. This is just the first time that she actually made me cry that hard. Whoa, I'm crying just thinking about it. Unfortunately, my Monday night lessons are ending for a few weeks because Fiona, who's parents give me a ride, isn't going for a little while. She's taking a little break, (mainly because her parents forced her.)

Oh, and things are great with Kris now...my mom called Kris, about that problem I already told you about, and Kris understood. It was a large misunderstanding on both sides. I'm going to start private lessons, so I can advance to the jumping class faster. I'm hoping I should be there within a month or two at the latest.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention that Saturday we're having a fun show at the barn. I have to be there by 8 in the morning, so no late-night Halloween partying for me. I'm riding Henderson in English Equitation and English Pleasure, w/t/c. It should be fun as long as Henderson doesn't freak out again like he did at the last show. What a dork. But I love him. =).
