I haven't post much in the past couple months. Been working and senior year has started, lol.
I had my senior pictures taken a month or so ago and I had a couple taken with my soon-to-be three year old gelding, Pete. (Omg it is scary to be saying that. Almost THREE years?)
Here's my favorite two:
Everybody in the herd is doing well. Can't complain about anything. I am hoping to put some work on a couple of them in the spring/summer. I'd love to start training Pete and his dam Bow how to drive. I may resort to sending them off to a trainer though. I'd hate to mess them up.
Bow:
Connor (Do you see her?! lol)
The baby of the herd, Finale, my coming two year old. (Omigosh)
School is fine. Like I said I'm a senior. Pictures are done and senior cap and gowns have been ordered. I've applied to Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and I'm planning on taking Mangement classes online so that I can stay home and work at our local grocery store. After two years I'm either planning on becoming a full time employee or I'll go to a farrier trade school in Missouri. Haven't yet decided, lol.
I don't have anything set in stone yet. I'm content with working at my current job (about 30 hours a week at $8.25 an hour) and I love it. I am hoping to add another pony to the herd in a couple years and I am hoping to get another dog; a viszla male. We used to own a viszla until she died of cancer. I'm hoping to get a male puppy, neuter him, and maybe train him to hunt. That's the majority of my wants and dreams right now.
I've contemplated selling a couple minis but I just can't bear it. I hate selling horses. All of the other horses I've sold I would buy back in a minute. Nobody is in any danger or anything living with me. I love them, I really do. There are times when I think I could live without them but they are truly the only things I understand. I have recently discovered that I don't understand people in general and I realized that the only things I do understand are my horses. I've spent so much time with them that I understand nearly everything about them. They seem to understand me too. People just suck. I don't understand men, women, co-workers, myself, friends, etc. People are so cryptic.
My miniatures aren't million dollars horses. They'd get laughed out of the ring, at any AMHA/AMHR sanctioned show. They're kinda fugly but somehow you can find that beautiful thing inside of them. They're really smart, good at giving hugs and kisses, and are a whole lot nicer than any humans I know. They're family and it would seriously hurt to see any of them go.
I currently trim their hooves now but in July 2013 I'll be having a farrier out for the first time. (Father won't allow it. July 2013 I turn 18 and therefor its my ultimate decision.) I have contemplated moving to Missouri but my vet has said I could easily start up business here because we need more competent farriers in the area.
Honestly, nothing exciting is happening. Life is content.
