Separation Anxiety

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been drowning in homework and general college-life busyness :( Monday I had a Genetics test and Wednesday was Organic chemistry...... SUCKS. I finally got both of those behind me right in time for Limerick to get adjusted on Wednesday (boo). So, poor pony isn't rideable until tomorrow, just in time for me to go home, which means no riding until Sunday at the earliest. However, I decided to update because I have some exciting news. This pretty is currently on its way to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally found a used County that I reallllllyyyyyyyy hope will work for us! It should get here no later than Monday, and I'll have it on trial for a week, during which time my County rep will come out to evaluate and hopefully reflock :) Since I'm going home this weekend, I'm going to ride Huer in Hillary's new dressage saddle, which coincidentally is very similar to mine. YAY for seeing Hillary, Hue, my family, dogs, and Rue <3

Merry Christmas Eve!!

Limerick and I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas Eve/Happy Holidays and to thank you for following our journey thus far :) 

Today started out right with a relaxing and fun ride. It was just me and E at the barn, so it was pretty chill and I didn't have to worry about avoiding tons of people in the indoor. We schooled transitions, got a great round trot, and even managed quite a few lovely walk-canter transitions. He was still sticky  about them today, but not nearly as bad as he can be. I carried a dressage whip and wore spurs, both of which I had to use... he seemed happy and had his ears forward for most of the ride, which I consider a victory in itself! Then we headed outside for a quick cool down and hack in the foggy and grey morning. Limmers was adorable today and super loving, which was obviously his christmas present to me <3

After that, I did non-horsey things like go to church and have dinner with the fam. Tomorrow, I might get to see Lim in the morning and then will be driving around all day, visiting various family members. Wednesday, we leave for Florida, so I won't see the pony again until January :((

UPDATE: My little sister just started a blog about our cat, Rue! If you have some time, take a second to check it out... he's pretty adorable :) First he's sour, then he's sweet

I leave you with some pictures from today:

He didn't understand the point of standing in front of the mirror... 

GORGEOUS morning... NOT

The Other Fuzzies

I just got a new camera lens as an early Christmas present (thank you mommy and daddy <3), so I decided to share some pictures I took of the other animals in my life!

This is Ellie, the baby. She's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a total goob

Theo, the mama's boy. Also a Cavalier 

Rue, the cat-dog hybrid (or so he thinks). Also know as Ruester, Ruecifer, Rueboo, Ruey, etc.

Cricket, my little Sheltie :) I love her to death.
