Well Starting My dream

Postby vannarae1975 » Sun Nov 13, 2005 11:35 am

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well I really didn't think that i would make a start but i have.  I have now started lessons at our local ranch, and so far i am loving it.  My riding coach is awsome.  Her ranch is so beautiful and tons of horses to give lots of TLC.  Last week was pretty funny, I brought my bf to come and see what it is that i do there, and he was impressed.  I had also brought out a 10 lb bag of apples to leave there for when i go there riding but i had a problem.  My bf who really doesn't know a whole alot about horses and treats.  Was handing out apples left and right.  I had to explain to him that the apples were for after the lesson was over and he said ya but he was looking at me (the horses i was going to ride) i love you and of course my bf slipped in a treat.  Which i had to laugh.  while i was in the arena getting my lesson with my mom and others, he was left in the barn with the horses,  hhhmmmmm   i wonder what he was doing while i was riding.  After my class was over i brought my horse into the barn and tied him in the cross ties and then i told my bf to hand me the apples and guess what   i had maybe 7 apples out of a 10 lb bag.  He said (my bf) they all wanted some loving he said and feed the apples to every horse in the barn.  It was really cute, but my poor horse didn't get alot of treats but i know for next time to take the apples with me,lol#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/8.gif"#ed_cl#The horses sure loved to see him come in with the bag.  I told him the can smell the apples from a mile away, and he didn't believe me,#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/1.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I also have some other great news, i have found a local barn around where i live and sent a letter and the lady sent a letter back saying that she has taken another job and her husband works shift work and would love to have someone to help her, she said that she would pay me but i would rather have in trade riding instead and she was really happy with that.  She would also like someone to help while both of them are working so i gave her some peoples name for her to check out about my work habits, i hope this turns out.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Van, I am glad that everything seems to be going your way with the riding (barn near your place), lessons, health and the the new BF.  Hope everything continues to improve for you and who knows we may be eventing together in the near future.  By the way the big guy says hi and if you get a chance stop by when you have a little free time.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
