Just Get To Me =]

So, I went riding yesterday!
I rode Tex, because Shadow had a tooth pulled Thursday, and she was still swollen and soreish.
Tex is adorable =3
He has icey blue eyes, and hes mainly white, with some big brown spots, and a ivoryish tail with brown stripes.
Laurel rode Scout, who is an other paint, he was a little taller, and he loved to try to eat while we were riding. He had a few bigger brown spots then Tex did.
It was only four of us, in total. It was a nice ride.
It was Sam [our Guide] She rode Sky, a horse shes leasing from Rockin' P, she's a cute paint, with brown and black spots, and is white as well. She's got a black mane, and a white tail with black and brown strands. And deep blue eyes.
Then Laurel, on Scout, Then me on Tex
and then I don't know the girls name behind me..she was Sam's friend..she's from texas, she was visiting for the summer.
She rode Miracle, this chestnut paint with a white spoted belly.

So I did the two hour ride. It was sprinkling at first, and the flies were realling bothering the horses, well after it stopped raining, they were fine. We went down big hills and through the creek, and up hills and through the woods, and out in the open.
We saw so many deer, atleast 15! A baby jumped out right infront of Tex and he was fine =3
It wasn't hot either, it was very pleasant. A beautiful day to go riding. I didn't want to get off, even if I was sore..I wanted to do it again..I knew Tex was tired though. Because this one hill, He did not wanna go up, it was kinda steep, but he's done it before, I think he was just being a snot.
I like horses that are a bit spunky, but can behave sometimes. I love a challenge, keeps the ride interesting. Scout was pretty funny =3 Sky was good too, and Mircale was good, like always.

So, about an hour into the ride, I asked Sam if she owned Sky, or not, because I remember seeing her at the 4H show in Pekin that I did too, and she said, she was leasing Sky, and they got The Highpoint Reserve award. [Highpoint, is the award, for the most awards won that day]. She did amazing too, Sam and Sky are a good team.
So then I got to thinking....

AND IM GOING TO LEASE A HORSE NEXT SUMMER AFTER SCHOOL GETS OUT, FOR A MONTH cuz, i get 150-200 from my uncle, for christmas, and Its my money then..and I can do whatever..and my dad even agreed! and he said, he'd back me up tooo, and I was like, woah, ily. he said, if mom wouldnt, he'd sign the papers and all. and I almost have enough for two months, but, not quiet. if I get like, 180 I should have more then enough for two months, but I want to save whatever money i have in my account atm, for a saddle and all, for when I get my own horse. =3 So once school gets out next May, Imma figure out a good month and lease a horse for a month and the rest of the time, I'll just go on random trail rides
I was excited. I wanna lease atleast once, now so I have a greater idea of what Im getting into
and I can ride whenever I want.
I need to ride atleast 9 hours, to get my money's worth, because if not, if Im only goiing to ride like 8, i sould just do separete rides
but I wanna saddle up and all and I know, I can do over 9 hours of riding a month
I ride way less then 8 hours a month now, but thats cuz i have to wait till my dads off and when he gets paid and all
now i could have my grandma take me [well, once I lease it] cuz she wants to see me ride and I could ride around in the areana if I wanted to show her and all
and she gives me 40-50 bucks for christmas, then 20-30 bucks for my birthday, and I'll put that in the bank, so I'm still saving money for my own horse, and spend the bigger amount on a month of leasing, from my own, and ask for trail riding certifcates from my parents. it all works out xD
This is sad..I have this all figured out..and it's only August..


Anywho, people who don't like horses, or know how obessive with them are, are probably rolling their eyes atm. xD
My bad, can't help it, so deal.

I've had this song stuck in my head for awhile, It's called, Just Get To Me

Well an airplane's faster than a Cadillac
And a whole lot smoother than a camel's back
But I don't care how you get to me
Just get to me
Parasail or first class mail
Get on the back of a Nightingale
Just get to me I don't care just get to me
Prokeds, mopeds take a limousine instead
They ain't cheap but they're easy to find
Get on the highway point yourself my way
Take a roller coaster that comes in sideways
Just get to me - yeah
Go on hitch a ride on the backof a butterfly
There's no better way to fly
To get to me
I look around at what I got
And without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every, with you, everything
Maybe you could pollinate over the
Golden Gate
Take a left hand turn at the corner
Of HaightAnd then a sharp right
At the first street lightAnd get yourself on a motor bike
And if you think you'll get stuck in atraffic jam
That's fine, send yourself through a telephone line
It doesn't matter how you get to me
Just get to me
Cause after every day
The wind blows the night time my way
And I imagine that you areAbove me like a star
And you keep on glowing
And you keep on showing me the way
SHINE SHINE SHINE

Ever just wanted something so bad, you just want it now, you dont care what else comes with? You have to have it now? That's how I am right now, kinda. Lol.
School starts in...16 days.
Excited...kinda.

Laurel and I were thinking about these songs yesterday [we used to sing them at camp, espically when we were with our wrangler]

Moon On The Meadow

Moon on the Meadow bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wetwood and tears
Up on the meadow water somewhere
We were the only one's there.
Wild horses, Rushing dry lake and peak
finding a love that everyone seeks hiking for rainbow, sunset, and stars just finding out who you are
We will return here one lucky day
our hearts will guide us they know the way
people in citys don't understand faling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wetwood and tears
Up on the meadow water somewhere
With you my friend I am there.
[This song used to make me cry, cuz we'd sing it at closing campfire at camp..I never wanted to leave camp..I love the open air..the sense of being free.]

Purple Light [this is acutally from a movie, Dean martin sings the orginal version, our camp adjusted it a bit. This is probably my favorite song, We'd echo it, so everything was twice. When the line breaks, you echo.]


Purple light
in the canyons
That's where I
long to be
With my three
True companions
Just my rifle, pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero

On the limb
of a tree
Just my rifle, pony and me

Whippoorwill

in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, pony and me

So yeah, today is kinda peaceful day, Im soreish, from yesterday, was totaly worth it. Just means my muscles are getting stronger =3

Wow. Sounds like an awesome day to me. All of my friends are out doing something and they haven't commented on my blog in a long time. I thought I would comment on someone elses. And you are lucky...16 days til school starts?? I start on Thursday. Oh lucky me! Not! But anyway, I really like the blog and I hope you get to lease a horse. Sounds awesome! Bye!
