Friday was so fun :D!! School was a total bore. more than usual even. but riding was TOTALLY worth it. and after-riding was a BIGG BONUS! haha

So got there kinda late and changed. bumped into dawn in d toilet and went 2 d stables 2gether. met viv there and checked d board. Viv got oj ( she was suppose to get citi but he got somesorta throat infection? so sue had to chnag it) dawn got we r on 4 d THIRD TIME!!! and i got SONGKLA!! lol sue gave us all our requests :D yay 4 sue!! haha. caro didn't come cuz she had camp. hung ard a bit then got d horse out and mounted. it was REALLY hot so sue made us work in half d jumping arena in the shade.

We warmed up and then sue asked us to canter. my reins just kept getting LONGER and LONGER and sue was a bit annoyed. lol so we cantered together and singkla was VERY annoyed by oj behind and kept like lowering his neck and pretnding to buck so sue made me go in front :S songkla's canter is like WAYYYY SMOOTH!!! lol u can like sit soooo deep into d saddle!! but bobby's is STILL wayyy better. haha i'm biased!

nhow after riding we had water then went to write a BIG thank you msg to sue 4 letting each of us ride who we all requested for. then chun n fei came and we walked ard a bit then sue asked us to wash chuckie's feet which r even worse than usual :(. so chun dawn n me did. luckily was was in a good mood and didn't try to kick. halfway thru daphne and frances came with a bag of gummies. lol chuckie was soo interested in it. kept saying his pleases ( admit it! he's cute! AND polite.)

aftr that me n dawn grazed him and then we put him in d paddock. d sweeet boy didn't eat and started folowing us <3! halfway while followng dawn though he kinda did a small buck and it was kinda scarey. after, dawn went down and i grazed him 4 a bit then spent 1/3 of my tube of polos trying to lure him down.

after, chun fei n daph went 4 their lesson riding stanley, gold ridge n oj respectively. d french lady rode songkla and this other girl rode lobo. frances helped me dry chuckie's feet then we put d orangey goo which burns ur hand. (:S had to wash it off w/ his shampoo after) after sue said we could graze him again so we brought him up 2 heaven so we could watch their lesson.

nways he settled down after a few secs of watching d horses in d lesson ( i had d impression that he was going "nahnah :P i get to eat and u have to work" lol) . I could occasionally hear snorts of delight between the constant sounds of him munching. it started to get a bit breezy and d green fence behind us started to creak a bit but d lug had burried is entire face in that huge mound of grass and couldn't b bothered. then this HUGE breeze came by and the fence like nearly collapsed. chuckie shied and tried to bolt 4 like a sec. songkla who was cantering also bolted 4 a while, but d lady managed to get him under control. it was soooo freaky!! I though he was going to trample me down!! :S:S nyhow, he calmed down and started eating all over again and then ANOTHER breeze came. he nearly wrenched my arm out! god he's strong! now i noe how tanja felt w/ firehouse that time. after he calmed down, sue got kinda worried so she told me to bring him down.

went the long way so i got to d stables same time as them. i was about to cross tie him at d shower stalls when sue said that he changed him stall to laser fella's ( laser went to oj's old stall) cuz he got a new groom. so we cross tied him backward so his butt face d outside and sue started to bandage his feet. he started trying to kick so she got me to hand feed him his chaff. after, i put him back and he got "aquainted" w/ his new neighbour: sonny. he tried to bite sonny through d bars and all so d mando had to move his feed bucket to d other side. he sill didn't like sonny one bit so he kicked at d wall while eating.

sighh... i DO hope they get along eventually... sandra said maybe he just needs some time to get used to it. will post abt viv's b'day 2moz... or wed... yeah wed cuz i have school then cca then riding 2moz. YAY!! i STILL want 2 ride cupcake...
