Day Thirty
Day Thirty- Your future with horses
My future with horses belongs to the Lord. I do have things I want to accomplish. Such as; I would love to know how to game before I'm done with the horse world. Like, do it. ;) Have a great relationship with my horse. (I already do, but I still want to work on a closer one.) Make tons of memories. (Which I have done already.) Have lots of fun adventures. Like trail riding and what not!
Just owning a horse has fulfilled my dream. It's been amazing and I have learned tons! I would really love to become a confident rider. To become a confident, accurate (doing things properly) rider in the near future, would be great!
Chester is so willing, gentle, knowledgeable and such a perfect first horse for me- he can fulfill most/all my dreams!
This is day thirty, finally! Thanks ya'll for sticking with me as I made my way through this challenge. One of the reasons I did it, was so I had something to blog about; as I was running out of idea's and there wasn't much going on with Chester and all.
It was fun- even though I wasn't super consistent with it. ;)

Day Twenty-Nine
Day Twenty-Nine- Favorite brands...boots, breeches, tops, helmets. ect.
I don't have any favorite brands. The cowgirl hat I have is a Stetson. So, I guess that's my favorite brand of hat. =) Boots....I got my boots at Beth's Western. It's a nice place! Haven't ever gotten breeches, tops or a helmet yet. I use a bike helmet right now. I know, totally out of fashion. But you do what you gotta do!
I love country outfitters boots! They are beautiful! I haven't owned any but they sure are pretty!
One more day! =)

Day Twenty-Eight
Day Twenty-eight- Helmet or no helmet
I'm a helmet person. I'd rather be safe then sorry. Horses=unpredictable. So, I use a helmet so when I fall off, get bucked off or Chester spooks, I will be safe or less hurt. My riding teacher fell off a horse WITH a helmet on. She got a concussion and was out for weeks. At the least two months but I know she was out much longer then that.
I'd rather wear a helmet then....get a concussion, get paralyzed, die and whatever else! =)
I'm a helmet person! haha!
Go helmets! See, they're not that bad! =)

Day Twenty-Seven
Day Twenty-Seven-You know you're an equestrian when....(list five things)
When you can't watch a horse movie without analyzing the horse, watching the horses reactions to certain things, watching really closely the person working with the horse and seeing how they do things.
You cluck to other animals and treat them like a horse.
You look at peoples barns as you drive by.
You can spot every horse trailer that passes you on the road. (I don't think one can pass our car without me seeing it.) =)
When you can smell hay and tell if it's good. Stale, sweet, rotten, ect.
You spot a green open field and think how wonderful it would be to ride in it, and how many horses it could feed.
When you own over four different types of boots. (Cowboy boots, mud boots, work boots, snow boots and dress cowgirl boots.)
You love burying your face in the fur of a fuzzy horse. (And taking a deep breath!!) =)
You love the smell of horses and leather!

Day Twenty-Six
Day Twenty-Six- Biggest riding pet peeve
I don't think I really have an exact riding pet peeve. Ok, there are a couple things like- I like my reins "perfect" all the time. I can't stand when they're not neat and when I'm not holding them correctly. I feel like I don't have complete control of my horse. But, I think that is still the beginner side of me. Sense I haven't been riding for years and years I don't have it down completely.
When I ride I have to have my hair in a pony-tail. I can't stand it sprawling everywhere, from under my helmet.
And...that's all I can think of right now! =)

Day Twenty-Five
Day Twenty-five- Your dream trailer
Ok, I know this is a crazy trailer! But hey, they said your dream trailer! =)
Here's my dream trailer....
This is the same one as above, just white. Plus, it has more doors open.
Alright, going to, REALITY now....=)
I would love to own a trailer like this!
This is a nice, safe, (more practical) trailer that I wouldn't mind owning. =)

Day Twenty-Four
Day Twenty-four- Your best riding buddy.
Can my horse count? haha! I think they mean people though...I don't have a riding buddy. My friend and I, ever since I got Chester, have wanted to go on a trail ride. But we never have...I do hope to some day though! We share our riding experiences with each other and tell of our horse adventures we have with our steeds. And of course, I have asked her LOTS of horse questions over the past two years. Not so much anymore though. (She has had horses most of her life, so she has had lots of experience.)
She was the one that came with me to check out Chester and bring him home. I would consider her my best riding buddy. She has taught me a lot of what I know about horses.
But, my wonderful dad and youngest sister, I would consider my riding buddies too! My dad trailer-ed me and Chester for about three months, to ground work lessons and just to ride at the arena. My youngest sister came along and cheered us on! I think she would love to join us!
Those- my dad, Annie (youngest sister) and my horsey friend, are my best riding buddies!

Day Twenty-Three
Day Twenty-Three- First horse you rode
The first horse I rode was my cousins horse. My Aunt and Uncle owned a few horses when their kids were younger. We visited them and I got to ride my first horse when I was about five. Not quite sure how old I was but I wasn't older then six years old.
I don't have any picture to share. If we do somewhere, they are printed out photographs. =)
It was most likely summer time then, and it was in eastern Washington. Which means, it was hot and dry! It just seems like "horse" weather. haha!

Day Twenty-Two
Day Twenty-two- Describe the importance of riding in your life
I'm what, I think most of you would call, a country girl and her back yard pony. I'm truly not just that though. I will admit, I am. But I am more then a person that owns a horse. I am a person with a goal and a will.
I started out being a girl and her horse, and then learning to train, ride and work my horse becoming so much more. A cowgirl.
The imortance of riding in my life; riding is definitely not my top priority. Although I don't ride a lot at the moment, I want to become a confident, safe, sure rider. I want to be able to ride my horse anyway I wish too. So for now, I'm going to take basic riding lessons in the spring and keep Chester on his toes for ground work until then. I have done more ground work with my horse then riding. If it's not good on the ground, it won't be good in the saddle. But don't get me wrong. I LOVE riding. Who doesn't??
October to the end of November I went almost every weekend to an arena and rode. I had a blast and learned tons. Chester and I got closer too.
In the summer time I try to ride at the least, once a week. Some weeks, I will ride him three times a week plus a day or two of just ground work. That is a 'good' week for me in the summer time.
Winter, is much different. Around here the ground gets really soggy and wet. Soft, wet soggy ground + a horse = a sinking + panicing horse. Not fun. And when riding it's not safe. He tares up our yard really easily. haha! I was lunging him the other day and he was sliding and digging up big chunks of earth. ( Side note for all daughters that own horses; Parents don't love that.) =) Winter time for me is bonding time- Chester and I listen to the rain poor down on the barn roof, while I brush and sing to him and he munches happily on crispy crunchy hay while we both stay warm and dry in his little barn- and also when the ground is frozen I work on ground work and I get in a few relaxed rides here and there throughout the winter.
So. To sum up the importance of riding in my life? It's one of our top priorities/goals to get me knowledgeably riding Chester. Which I was taking lessons (I had one) then my teacher fell off a horse and got a concussion. Hopefully, this spring we will pick back up again.

Day Twenty
Day Twenty- Your Favorite horse show
I'm assume they mean a horse show that you yourself did. And, I haven't showed at all so I don't have one. = ) Plus, I have only gone to two rodeos in my life. One when I was about six and one a few months ago, when I was seventeen. No horse shows though. So I haven't even been to a horse show to say it was my favorite one, anyways!
