I think one of the major reasons I love riding and having my own horse is that I gain control out of it. I gain security, peace, and comfort from it and the control. I’m the type of person that needs control to feel safe and comforted and my horse provides that for me. That’s why I rely on my horse so much, he’ll always be there for me. He’s my center piece; he’s the only secure control in my life.

Sorry! 

Diablo and I have a lesson set up this week! In the words of my trainer: “I have a lesson all planned out for the two of you - see if he has any jumping potential!” Should be interesting and I hope it goes really well! He’s been doing really well under saddle and he’s gaining back his muscle and his weight :) I’m so so happy about it. I’ve been looking into some schooling shows and trying to decide which ones to take him to and whatnot. I have lots of hope for us! :) we like to play tag in the arena and we go for jogs/runs down the dirt roads together, haha. I mean.. I basically sprint while he only trots. He’s such a sweetheart and I’m glad he’s mine.

I haven’t been able to ride Moose in a while but I’ll be seeing him this week and probably will end up riding him. And I’m most likely riding him in the Hunts this year if he hasn’t been sold or leased out by then. 

My trainer wants me to hunt Diablo this year, which could end up being the death of me hahaha. 

Anyways, Diablo is doing really well! He got his dewormer all over the side of his muzzle today and all over my hands. He seemed satisfied with himself. 

Now that my classes are basically over except for one more final, I should be able to update more about all the horses instead of coming home from the barn and going to bed right away.

And whenever I hug Diablo, he knows the perfect amount of time to stay still; he knows when I really need it. Then after the hug, he’ll nudge me and then resume what he was doing before.
