SOooooo this has been the worst year of my life to be completely honest. My horse died in May in a pasture accident and I've never been this depressed in my life- feels like someone tore my heart out of my chest and let a shark eat it and 10x worse. Everything's going wrong, I'm trying to start riding lessons again and my parents are being very hesitant about it, my social anxiety's coming back I think, and everything really does suck. I'm making changes, though. I'm going to get out of my shell more this year at school. I found a heap of my old wannabe clothes at the bottom of my closet, threw em out haha. Went out and bought myself a bunch of collared blouses and blazers and cardigans and tops and just nice clothes to show my personality change and how I'm growing older.
Got my license Friday, hello freedom School starts this Monday. I drive to school. I'm sort of really excited about that.
I just wish that my horse didn't die. This journal entry doesn't even convey how I feel. I'm losing my mind honestly. I don't want this empty pasture and I just want to curl up and cry. I do all the time. And my dog just farted on me. Fucking fantastic

SHOW SEASON!
got my show schedule today! omg i'm going to die. i'm doing a show pretty much every other week starting this april and my first show of the season is feb 1, less than two weeks away. going to die. i'm getting a brand new show coat for my birthday! i'm taking a risk and getting charcoal, but it still looks really classy; it's dark enough that it won't stand out too much, but it'll still be eye catching, if that makes sense!
have a great day! props if you read this
Updates!
wow I haven't been on here in forever! like over a year. wow
my life's changed a lot I guess.. I'm getting everything figured out! I'm halfway through my senior year and I got accepted into my dream school a month ago with a $36,000 scholarship ($9k each year) because of my grades. so that's that. I'm going to a great school in PA and one of their trainers there is a former Olympian, so hopefully I'll be able to grow even more as a rider.
last fall I started working at an international level dressage barn. I just felt like I wasn't getting everything out of my current barn; I'm still there, but I just ride Thinker and another Mustang there.
It's been exactly a month
It's been a month since I've filled everyone in :P
I'm in the process of switching from Lucky to this amazing, beautiful dark bay 17.2hh OTTB named Thinker. Thinker's a lot more challenging, but he's a sweetheart and I adore him. I rode him all this weekend and our first drill team practice together was today, we did really good except I rode in some funky stirrups which messed up my positioning and made me roll my ankle to the outside, my ankles were killing me and I could hardly post and I kept losing them :/
I'm cantering now, and I've done well with it, I'd say. We're working on canter positioning right now along with canter aids and co
Can my next lesson be here now please?
My Tuesday lesson went great! I rode Lucky and we warmed up with a walk and then a trot. My posting has gotten a lot better, it's much softer, and I bring my hips forward now instead of just straight up. We did some figure 8's at each corner of the arena and that was good. Moved on to a little obstacle course, on the right there were about 5 cavaletti, in the middle there were poles that I had to weave in and out of, and then on the left there were 3 barrels. Did fine with that, I just need to work on aiding a bit more with my legs. Then we trotted around the arena for a little while my instructor set up a serpentine course, we trotted that a
