Something smelt fishy.

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. Everything has been crazy and hectic lately.

Anyways, we didn't end up getting that one horse, Magic. He was lame in his left hind leg, and as soon as we mentioned a vet check, they completely ignored us. Its like they know something is wrong, and are just waiting for some sucker to come and buy him without doing a vet check. This is a barn that travels to Arizona for a weekend show. They know tons of people. If he's such a great horse, he'd still be selling for 10k, not for 2500, and he would have been sold before he even hit dreamhorse. So we basically just forgot about him, because something with those owners/sellers just smelt really fishy.

However, there is this absolutely gorgeous 16hh bay QH 9 yro mare that's coming to my barn sometime this week. She does English, western, jumping, the whole shabang. She's available for lease only, and I might lease her. We'll see how it goes on Saturday. Hopefully she will be there by then. My mom's a wary of the whole lease thing though, because it might be really expensive. But, we'll just wait and see what the actual lease contract looks like. If you search YouTube for Miss Potential Grace, hers in the first video. Yes, she does that extremely ugly western pleasure canter that looks like they are lame, but she also has the natural, nice, English canter. The English doesn't start until after 6 minutes. Jumping is at the very end, and its just tiny stuff, but all I'm doing is tiny stuff.

I'm extremely proud to report that my riding is improving dramatically. I seriously recommend not using stirrups! And posting. My leg hardly moves at all anymore, I'm so excited. I'm also correcting my seat, because I've been leaning forward and throwing myself off-balance, not to mention my horse. I just feel like I'm progressing so much. It really shouldn't be that long until I'm with the jumping lesson again. I am so happy.

I'll post an update on Gus later.
