Had a private lesson with Shep last night. I don’t wanna bore everyone with details, so I’ll just say that we worked on finding spots, and coursework. Elvis was strong, but not unmanageable. (and strong is also comparative).

Shep totally made my whole YEAR by complimenting me. He rocks!

Do you know how nice it is to have someone (besides Meredith**) tell you that you ride well and mean it?……

and you believe them when they say it?

You couldn’t wipe the grin off my face.

**Mere often tells me I am a good rider. But she has to, we’re close friends. It’s like my mom telling me I’m pretty or Theresa telling me I have nice hair.

Cook has a big hole in her foot from the drained abscess. So yeah. What else is new? It has to grow out. It still sort of grosses me out. I really don’t like it but what can I do? Except chant every day “I wish your hole in your hoof would grow out”.

I have pictures to freak the non horse people out but my camera is dead. Maybe tomorrow.
