Finally!

I finally got Millie to eat her medicine!!!! I tried putting it in her feed normally, I tried a honey sandwhich, but in the end Phil from school bought out some bran to mix in the chaff and she's eating that now so I'm happy :) I'll probably wash her sometime this week as I'm still not allowed to ride her so yeah...

*Sigh*

I'm not allowed to ride Millie for 10 whole days!!!!!!!! She has a cold and it will help her to fight that and to get over her lameness. I have to feed her special powder everyday and i don't know what i'm going to do not riding for a week and a half!! And, Pixie was sold today. I'm sad :( he went to a good home and all but still... anyways,

This mornings ride!

Had an enjoyable ride this morning... that was until Millie tried to eat Benny for breakfast. He came out unscathed though so thats good. We found some logs for our arena fence as well.

New arena

Steph and I have started to plan a new arena. It will be in the end of the mill lane, which is near the house. We planted a kurrajong yesterday and a cedar today and we also potted up some walnut tree seedlings. All of these trees are going to go around the edge of the arena.

I haven't ridden for a couple of days because she was a bit sore and the weather hasn't been that good either. I'll post gain when I do though :)
Gotta go check on my seedlings,

Apart from being dive-bombed by plover, Steph, Millie, Benny and I had a good 'session' this morning. We got some good photos and the horses enjoyed the attention :) Will post some photos when i get a chance to go through them :)

Trail ride...

Steph and Benny and Millie and I went on a trail ride this morning down the stock route. All was very peaceful except when Millie tried to bite Benny's ear off... :) Millie is a bit lame again but was very well behaved.

My pony is at home!!!!

My pony is now at home. Dad took us down to Walla this morning and we picked them up. I think Millie and Pixie will get on but Millie and Pepper both like to be in charge... I will hopefully ride her this afternoon and get some photos :)

WET!!

My pony is now stuck at school because our creek is up and it would be to dangerous to try and go through the paddocks with the float. GRRRRRRRRRRR go away wet!!!

Last Day!

This is mine and Millie's last day at SPC for a couple of months :) It is looking like rain at the moment but i'll keep my fingers crossed!

Cross Country

Cross country was not to bad in the end. Millie was relitively calm and we walked through lots of scary water in the creek... She was well behaved and we only had one 'discussion' about standidng still, so all in all a good ride :)
Kat + Millie

HEHE

Millie and I cantered out in the big paddock today :):):) I am very proud of her as she was very good and didn't shy at anything!! We are going to cross country tomorrrow (enter nail-biting)

Randomness about the wetness

Does anyone else other than me think the drought might have maybe broken? Just a little (enter sarcassam) :)

IT IS WET!!!

It is wet and I do not like wet because it means I cannot ride my beautiful pony and that makes me mad. That is why i do not like wet. My pony does not like wet either because it gets in her ears and makes her cold. GRRR go away wet!!!!!!!

Exciting news!!!

Millie is now unofficially mine!!! Dad rang Nigel just before and said we'd take her :) Hehe, I is excited.
Gotta Gallop coz it's bedtime,

Hellooo

Hi guys,
Sorry 'bout the gap between posts, dorm life is hetic!! Have ridden Millie 3 times this week and I can say there has not been many hiccups. She is a little lame at the moment and likes here personal space but thats about it. I will try and get some pics of her soon, but they won't do her justice. I have fallen head over heals for her and there's no stopping now!!

Quick update

Rode Millie bareback for about 10 minutes just before and all went well. For some unknown reason, they decided to tip the trough over yesterday and Pepper has cuts all down his back legs so we had to catch him so I decided to catch Millie as well. Mum is taking her to school tomorrow so I have my fingers crossed that it all works out.

Don't ya hate it when...

Don't ya hate it when somehow pictures mysteriously don't end up on the computer and then by the time you've realised they aren't there they've been deleted off the camera as well?? It sucks. I was going to upload a picture of Millie but they grew legs and walked away... Sorry about that, you'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Pics

Thought you might all want to see some pictures. This one is of Pixie, which I have edited. I will get some pictures of Millie later. Enjoy,

2nd ride!!

I rode Millie abut an hour ago and that feeling is getting stonger. It probably didn't look all that great, but we're still getting used to each other. She was fairt quiet and very responsive to most aids. I brushed her afterwards and talked to her about what things I will buy her if I get her. She actually drank when I offered her water and she didn't kick dust up in my face when I let her go. I will probably put some hoof oil on he hooves tonight and brush her if I can find the hoof oil that is...That's all for now but I'll let you know if I ride her this avro.

This may sound weird...

I know I have only known her for less than a week, but the more I think about her the more I get of this good feeling. It just feels right. I don’t know what it is but my gut is feeling good about her. I have only ridden her once, and we did have a disagreement about the canter, but as I said it just feels right. I feel a bit bad for Pixie, but I think he understands that he was a ‘fill-in’ pony. Having said that he was a super fill in pony, the best I’ve ever had! I don’t hate Pepper or anything, we just had a personality clash, and I think that there is someone else out there that will enjoy him a lot more that I ever did or will. It’s not a strong one yet, but I think Millie and I have a connection. All this might be bull but I don’t think it is. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with Him, but I have a feeling (yes, another one) about her. I’m not all that religious but I think that my prayers may just have been answered in the form of the horse standing in the cattle yards at the moment. I’ll stop crapping on now, and I’ll get back to you about that four-legged thingo!
