2008-10-22T15:35:00.000-07:00

Well the reason I have not posted for a while is because I broke my arm. I was running Rawhide and fell off and everything went down hill from there. I am going to my friend's gma's house for fall break tomorrow so I will get some pics of the horses there!

Cantering Bareback!

2008-08-09T23:21:00.000-07:00

A couple days ago I cantered bareback for the first time! It was sooo much fun, my mom left to go get some gas and when I was cantering Rawhide, he kind of spooked at you know nothing and I slipped but didn't fall, I kind of jumped off! My mom's video camera is working again so maybe tomorrow I will have her get really cute pics for my locker (I start 7th grade on Tuesday, August 12th, I know really early) so and I might get her to get me and ashley and the boys cantering and galloping (and Rawhide bucking) in our little working field! Well it is 2:24 AM! We went school shopping at Wal * Mart and we were there for hours looking at magazines for my mommy's store, you can check that out at http://www.petrysplace.com/ Well Hopefully I will post soon! Oh yeah, me and my friends are going to start a web show! You guys will be the first to see it! Cya Later!

Sorry! :)

2008-07-30T11:45:00.001-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, show was cancelled and reschedualed for August the 23rd, dont know why! I have been riding bareback the past couple days to gain back my balance (I am horrible at holding on bareback trot) So... A couple weeks ago Rawhide showed in contesting with ashley! he did awesome, so next year i am going to do contesting! Well I might post again tonight with some cute pics that hopefully my mom will take, some really good pro looking ones! Bye!

(P.S.) The pic is of Ashley and Dancer a year ago! when i first met Rawhide! They have such a special bond!

Almost Show Time!!!!

2008-07-05T08:27:00.001-07:00

It's Almost Showtime! I am showing in walk/trot because we just got started on Rawhide's leads and he has a really fast canter, lol. A couple weeks ago we saved 2 kittens from the barn because Lily(the tiny one) was sooo little and a pit bull wanted to have them for dinner (soo sad) The first pic is from a couple days ago my mom took a cute pic when i was sitting on the ground, the first kitty pic is Miley and the second one is Lily and the last one is of both of them. We took these pics when we first got the

m but now Lily is alot bigger! They both jump off my mom's bed and play around and they always both go into the shower and drink the water! Well First day of show is coming up soon! I will post pics of it!

I BOUGHT RAWHIDE!

2008-06-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

I BOUGHT RAWHIDE! He's finally mine now! We bought him for 900! My Grandma gave me a check for 700$ (My g-ma is the best) and me and my mom are paying the rest! I am sooo happy! On Tuesday when we bought him me and Ashley went galloping in the fields! It was soo fun! Yesterday we worked on our leads while Ashley and Dancer barrel raced! Well I will try to get some cute pics today! CYA! By The Way the pics are from when I first started leasing Rawhide! I luv my pony!

Sorry!!

2008-05-27T18:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't been posting lately, my mom was in the hopsital and had surgery and it's been raining so I haven't been able to go see Rawhide. Over the weekend my family came in to town so on Saturday I went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house and we had our annual movie night and we watched "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Then on Sunday we watched the Indy 500 and had a cookout, after that we went swimming at my grandma's pool. On Monday we went down to the farm in Greencastle, they have horses, goats, chickens, dogs, ducks, 4- wheelers,a mule (not a horse a car kind of thing), and lots more. That day I sprained my wrist and it still hurts, I can type and move it just it hurts when you move it side to side, so I can't : Pick up a saddle, Pick up a hoof, jump on bareback, can't canter, and alot of other stuff. Today I went swimming then I went to the barn and worked on trotting bareback. Ashley will have to d omost of the hard work (cantering, etc) for me while my wrist heals so it will be ready for 4-h!!! Well you are probably bored out of your mind righ tnow, oh yah and one more thing Rawhide got shoes for 4-h! They are cute, it was his first time getting shod and he did perfectly fine!!!! Well maybe in a couple days if I go home (I am spending the night at my g-ma's house till my mom gets better) I can post recent pics of Rawhide to show how beautiful he is now that his winter fur is gone! Dancer looks gorgeous too! Well ttyl!

The first picture is of Jeff Corey and his mom and dad. His mom was shot at a local bp in my sister's school area. The shooter shot Holly Corey then went over to the National City Bank and shot him self. This happened a while back but I found this picture was on my mom's laptop so I wanted to post it!

I am currently leasing a pony name Rawhide <---- I luv him!
I currently have a guinea pig named Snickers
I ride Western
My mom currently owns an awesome party store stocked with webkinz (if you know what those our! You can visit www.webkinz.com for details!) named Petry's Place!

Well those are my seven facts!

Pretty Good!

2008-01-12T08:14:00.000-08:00

Rawhide did pretty good yesterday! We hadn't rode in a long time because there are 2 new horses (Bravo and Ellie) so we hadn't rode in a long time! Yesterday we rode and Rawhide did pretty good! We "raced" with Ashley and Paul (Ashley's boyfriend) and they were on Dancer. It was really fun! After Ashley brought Dancer in I wanted to trot Rawhide a little more and so first I walked him around and I trotted a little and he tried to rear on me to go into the barn when I wanted him to trot so I walked him more and he trotted a little so I got off to end it on a good note. Rawhide is really sweet.
Oh yah I might get a job at a barn that is behind my mom's store so in the Spring when I bring Rawhide there we can get half off on his board. In March I am doing a Safe Sitter program to earn money!
Just an update!

Mr. Good..... well most of the time!

2008-01-04T18:05:00.000-08:00

Today Rawhide was really good! At first when I was trying to put on his halter he tried to budge through me to get out, so I so him who is boss! I grabbed his facebone and I said "No,quit it!" and then he threw his head up and I grabbed under his head and I told him No.. Then I told him I don't want to play games. I put the halter on and when I was trying to open up the stall door and he tried to run me over to get out so I grabbed his halter and I backed him up and I told him to give me some space, then I got him out!
There are two new horses at the barn Bravo and Ellie! Bravo the baby and Ellie is Rawhide's girlfriend! Rawhide pushes them around because he thinks he is the boss! LOL! well just an update! ttyl!

Mr. Dominace.... this tiny thing trying to dominate the barn!!!

2008-01-03T08:35:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to the barn and there were two new horses! The guy that I told you about with the horses down the street, Ashley is going to train his mare Ellie and his gelding Bravo! Rawhide likes Ellie and Ellie likes Rawhide! But where's Dancer?

Dancer has been a little moody and has been kicking Rawhide alot....so Ashley put Dancer where the ponies used to be and the ponies are now in the front(ponies meaning the donkey and mini). Ashley told me the other day that Joe(the dude) didn't want RAWHIDE in the pasture with his two horses!!! He wanted Rawhide with Dancer in this .25 acre pasture with 1 stall!!! Dancer is aggressive with food so that wouldn't work out! So Ashley still put Rawhide with his horses and Joe got MAD! Joe was there when Rawhide pinned me up against the wall so he thinks Rawhide is a bad horse! He said" I don't want that pony in there, I rather have the yellow(Dancer) one in there!" When Ashley told me that I said "Only if you want your horses to die!" That's the whole reason Ashley moved Dancer away from his horses and Rawhide!

Now the dominace part...... Ashley was giving them all treats and Rawhide's whole life he's been pushed around..... so when Ashley put a couple treats in Bravo's bowl Rawhide decided to "move up the ladder" so he went in there and started kicking Bravo so he could have his treats! So brave Ashley went in there and made Bravo get out and gave Rawhide a little one on one and she slapped him and Rawhide tried to bite her and knocked her earing out. Finally he calmed down so we left!!!! Miget is trying to dominate the barn!!!!

Hey sorry guys that I haven't posted in forever, the weather has been rainy and we had a snow "storm" and so I haven't really gone to see him. But today at Noon I am planning to go see him and take my new bareback/saddle thing. It is a bareback pad but it has stirrups and looks alot like a bareback pad. I got alot of things for Christmas but that was my biggest present! Rawhide got a present from my grandma. She got him a big bag of apples! Well I am bored so I will post some pics. They are really random!

The first pic is of me and my sister and my dog Lucy.

The second pic is of petting Rawhide. I love this pic because his ears are pricked up. I should make like a pic that says "The First Touch" or something post comments on what I should say!

The third pic is of Rawhide and you can see my hands in the backsground!

The fourth pic is of me petting Rawhide again!

And Lastly the fifth pic is of me riding Rawhide and Ashley was talking to me so that's why my head is turned away!

I'll try to take pics tonight! Thanks!

Is this the same Rawhide?

2007-12-06T12:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to see Rawhide with a friend of my Mom's and I went in the stall with him and I started petting him, and he threw me against the wall and backed his butt toward me against the wall, HE WAS TRYING TO KICK ME!!! Me and my Mom are having second thoughts about Rawhide, because Ashley wasn't there and if he acts like that if we buy him, he won't be the best for me, that's why tonight when I go see him, he's not going to get out of ANYTHING! I am finally going to show him that he can't push me around and he will listen to me and not be a butt! Well just wanted to tell you the scoop!
