Busy horse life is coming!

            Finally. My  life is getting horse crazy once again, and I absolutely love it! I have been able to ride Dixie and Duelli a few times. They have been fabulous as always. My arena has no snow, but still mucky. I'm estimating by the end of this week it will be dried up enough to ride. I can't wait to jump. I think I am getting a little "dressage sour".
    
           Friday (the 15th) my Mother and I went to the Dover Saddlery Tent sale. I brought a close friend with me, it was SUCH a blast. I ended up with some really nice items! got a Back on Track sheet for Dixie, sadly its a little small. My mom is going to try and alter it so it fits, because there is NO way I would be able to afford a new one. I love Dover because you can sit in saddles you dream to own for your own horse, try on attire that you would need rip off an arm and a leg to afford :) Way to much fun.
      
          The past 2 days I've working at a 3 day camp for Pony club. Oh, little pony club ponies are too cute. The kids in pony club are looking great! All I basically did was help with their D1-D-3 record books, safety checks, and tacking up. The instructor was amazing. She worked with me a little bit on the "teaching" part of my rating. Which was a big help. The second day I brought Dixie so I could ride. They used her for the lunge seminar for the group, and she was awesome. I rode her after and she was pretty good. She seemed a little sore on the front end, and I don't know why. She had no heat in her legs or anything. So she got some lineament when she got home :) I did get a chance to talk to Marina a little bit (Her Blog) about the whole H-b thing. I am still SUPER shaky about it. I'm so nervous.It's hard to study this soon because I'll cram, and cram, and then I forget it all. I have a hard time retaining some information. It is really weird. Hopefully going to some preps, and talking with some more upper level pony clubbers will boost my confidence a bit. Yet again i think about how nervous I was when going for my C-1 and C-2 and I did fine. I guess I might just be making it bigger than it actually is.
