Hello all.

I'm saving this blog from decomposition.

But it wasn't my fault.

Computer crashed and blogger didn't load.

Anyhoo, i've come to a conclusion:

brainwashing actually WORKS! haha.

I've been listening to my prelim freestyle music alot to like memorise it?

and now it's stuck in my head.

and IT WON'T GET OUT! :/

(which proves that the effects of such brainwashing tends to be long lasting... lol!)

Oh and another thing.

I've been thinking SOO much about the freestyle?

and now everytime i listen to whatever piece of music,

i start CHOREOGRAPHING a test in my head.

(even ROCK songs.)

Someone help?!

Riding today was okay i guess?

Chun, fei and viv came to watch (:

Viv filmed me cantering tikki.

I HATE my canter seat.

Oh and it was Ying's birthday.

We made her a horse hair bracelet.

But she left right after riding

so i guess we'll have to give it to her next week?

We helped sue's begginer class after that.

I help hattie! :D

On MONSTER tikki. ):

He was MEAN.

And a BIG PAIN I-T-A

Tried to bite me NINE times.

and suceeded FOUR times.

Darn him.

Tommorrow's a holiday. :D

and yet i'm waking up EARLIER than i usually wake up for school.

What for?

Oh. Riding.

To practise my freestyle and time the btsc one.

Guess who i got?

(No prizes for guessing!)

and guess who dawn got?

(Again, no prizes for guessing)

Daph, Fei and Chun have a lesson before us.

And jun and viv are coming to watch.

Can't wait! (:

[edit]I forgot to say. Sue wants me to use SPURS! :/ Hopefully, i'll control my lower leg and not have to use 'em too much... [/edit]

didn't you just LOOOVE pink patchie? hee!

photos up soon :)

I've decided to start putting title to my post! so here's the first one. lol

i think sue really wasn't kidding about me competing tikki.

i got him on BOTH thursday and friday.

and i think it's gonna go on till 9th sep tooo!

which is... *counts fingers...*

TEN LESSONS??!

that's more than ONE SET!

crudcrudcrudcrudcrud!

on thursday, we worked on forwardness and impulsion.

tikki's TINY and SLOW and LAZY.

and my canter transitions were crap

and i couldn't even like keep him in the frame.

i just get him in it then he tosses his head and looses it

and i have to start all over again. sighh

jun dawn and ying did pretty good though.

jun finally managed to get stanley to canter :D

he was like doing extended canter the 1st time. so kwl!

dawn was perfect as usual on sunshine

but she claims it was crap and it so was not!

ying and sonny did pretty well too.

and sonny didn't bolt. for once.

friday was worse. i shared an arena with prema and we are on.

tikki didn't keep his frame.

or his canter. or even a forward trot.

sue kept yelling "KATH! GET HIM MORE FORWARD!"

in the end she made me go out of the arena and canter him.

she was like "okay i want you to GALLOP him"

when she saw my jaw drop she was like "go for it kath!"

lol so went out and got the canter.

so while cantering sue told me to give him a long rein

and then while turning the corner i realised it was kinda tight

so i was frantically trying to retake my reins and then guess what?

he CRASHED INTO the arena. (where viv and sonny and caro and citi were)

and he flipped a fence.

thank god viv and caro were both working at A

and not C where we... fence-crashed/flipped? lol.

after that horrendously horrid stunt

(which was i guess somewhat my fault?)

i think tikki kinda sensed i was really pissed and all. hah!

so he went really forward after that and kept his canter :D

i did some interesting things too.

tried a canter-walk transition with him and leg yield.

the transition was worked! yay!

but the leg yielding only worked in walk.

i have tons of things to work on with him untill the comp so i guess ten lesson riding him wouldn't be so bad if it all works out... so cross your fingers for me :)
