I may be a little bit excited. Maybe.

If you are friends with me on Facebook you've probably more than likely seen my frantic posts about St. Louis that contain too many exclamation points. Well we're finally leaving on Monday and I'm actually, surprisingly, calm. I had my final ride before my class today and I don't think Buzz has never ever been that good for a lesson.

He knows something is up.

This could be a good thing!

The thing about Buzz that some people have come to realize, and other have not, is that he has his own ideas about what he should be doing and unlike many of the horses I've ridden, he doesn't change his mind. He can't be coxed or forced into acting like a good boy. When he's good, it's a gift from God and will probably be the best ride ever. When he decides he's had enough...he lets you know by being a dink in every possible way.Never naughty, he just pulls stupid things that make you rage inside while you know he's laughing at you in his little horsie head.

Not making excuses, JUST SAYIN.

 So I'm just trying to keep very chill and keep him happy. He's been so good for the past 2 weeks so I've got my fingers crossed that he'll be in a good mood all next week! He's going in, potentially, four classes so I'm hoping we can keep his energy up and going. Someone may be getting a little extra grain at dinner time!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed! My parents won't be coming with because we couldn't afford the hotel so I'm super bummed about that but hopefully they'll be able to watch online.

 

Here's Buzz and I in Iowa last year!

ANYWAYS, point being of this whole long-winded post is that I'm EXCITED!!!!!!
