January Update

I Haven't had time to post much lately, but here's an update for the past few weeks...

Skiing: We went up to Snoqalmie Pass. So, pictures, basically. I tried to ski and take pictures at the same time, but I haven't quite mastered that yet XD [captions below pictures]

Ah, beauitful lol.

From the lift.

Meh.

Riding, two weeks ago: My last day doing community service hours. I love working at the barn, and might continue to come occasionally. I probably will more often in the summer, cause I usually have nothing to do XD. Anyways, I rode Ginger for the first time. She's a little poneh. Five years old (I'm not sure), so she's pretty green. Luckily, she didn't do her jump-three-feet-over-a-one-foot-x stunt, XD. I *really* liked riding her, and I hope and can soon again. And pictures:

Ginger.

Alex and I playing around. Does Ginger like Jolly Ranchers? XD

Riding, last Sunday: I rode Bullet this past weekend. He was such a retard [yet I still love him XD]. On the flat, he's so flipping lazy. Hardly listens to my leg, and I'm pretty much pushing him along every step. And the crop when necessary. I have to admit, we did the cantering nicely. Good forward pace, and we went around the ring several times without him breaking. He got really hyper when we started jumping though. I can feel when he starts getting jumpy. He runs over the poles as if they were a lot higher than they actually were. He jumps the caveletti like they were actual jumps. And he canters up to the x and leaps over it, even though it's like a foot high =P I need to learn to control him......

In the stall. He was intensely interested in his hay so it was hard to get it attention to the camera.

Hay......

"Bullet... stand still now..."
"But, but... the GRASS!"
"No... stay. Just one second,"
"I - I want the grass,"
"Just one picture...."
XD

Using the self-timer on the camera. Again, the food was all he cared about at the time, so it was hard to get a good picture....

I love this picture. I wish he could get his head out of there for a second though >.<

That's pretty much it. The snow [ice] has melted. At least we had a late start today. I love sleeping in.....
