on the longest night.

August 27th, 2011

*please read*
no audio owned.
i was just feeling a little down this evening when i decided to make this. samson and i had a pretty bad fall on sunday.
he is 100% fine, i got the worst of it.

all of these clips are brand spankin’ new! basically i can’t ride my horse but he’s amazing and puts up with me anyway. the clip of me going into the water jump is literally seconds before i came off, unfortunately not on film.

jumped him today even though my head is a bit weird, and he went amazingly amazing. he is such a star.

connor is in the blue and rode him aswell, samson jumped so well for him.
there’s lots i want to say, but this upload has gone too fast! curse you speedy internet!

sometimes everything can seem to pointless and so hard, but you just have to take the good with the bad, dust yourself off and start again. pick up the pieces and use as much sticky tape as possible to fix it. because this is all i can do. i’m not going to walk away, neither are you. i promise i will learn to ride you properly, some day, and get the best from you that other people can. i am sorry that i let you down so much, i make you look like a fool and hide all of your amazing talent. you deserve so much better but you’re stuck with me. it’s okay fat pony, i will someday become the rider you deserve.
words cannot describe the love i have for this horse.
love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Overcoming All Obstacles] Brandywine Valley Horse Trail Ride with Gam and Bay 8/10/11

August 27th, 2011

“To succeed you must first improve, to improve you must first practice, to practice you must first learn, and to learn you must first fail.”
-Wesley Woo

I can Identify with that quote! This trail ride was an experience! I took the boys out on pretty much Identical rides through the Brandwine Valley. I was hoping for a nice calm and peaceful ride, but Bay had other plans. He decided to argue over a puddle, of all things! I stood my ground, and he decided that I was right after all… I usually am :D Gam was awesome as always, Bay is just a little slower to catch on, but I love him just the same. Thumbs up for rescue horses!
