Sa-turd-ay, again!

Bleh, sa-turd-ay.

Okay, just to set the scene, I am sat at my computer, reading fan fics (multi-tasking!) and listening to Danson Tang (Ai Wo) So far I have listened to the whole album 3 times ^^

So...what happened today...lets go back to when I woke up...


Because I had RDA (Riding for the Disabled) today I had to get up extra early (for me at least) meaning 6 o'clock. When I woke up I found it funny that my alarm clock wasn't going but I usually sleep right through it anyway so I got up and turned my alarm clock off. After I had eaten my breakfast and found my RDA 'uniform' (yellow shirt which says 'Riding for the disabled' on the back-and it doesn't say that I'm a volunteer, not a rider!) I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 to 7 (I have to be out of the house for 7) so I went to wake my dad up.

When he woke up, he took one look at the clock and said 'you do know that it's 10 to 6'....dammit. It turns out that I woke up a whole hour early and I have no idea why (I didn't go to sleep until sometime around midnight last night) So I got out Pride and Prejudice and sat on the couch reading until 10 to 7 (I read 6 chapters)

When I got to RDA it was FREEZING COLD!!! There was rain all over the fences and the horses were very, very tired. I signed in, found my badge (its very distinguishable because it is the one that looks like the horse is bleeding because the ink has run-I was out in the rain a lot last year) and went outside to see what I could do.

I brushed Bunny and picked her hooves out but I didn't saddle her because I'm not very well...practised at that (I'm very good at taking saddles off though) I then said hello to most of the horses there and met Chiko who is a new skewbald (chestnut coat with white splodges on her back and sides) shetland pony-and he is actually nice! (*gasp* shock horror)

I sidewalked in the first lesson for Lace and led Star in the second lesson (where she bit me on the knuckles-but luckily it was only a light nip and I only have a few red marks) I took a rest in the third lesson and cleaned out all of the water buckets and put the hay back into the tubs.

I led Bunny the fourth lesson and I had a very nice rider who loved to talk (which was very, very good because I usually find that I don't know what to say) Then came lunch which was fun to say the least (one guy, lets call him Emmett, crushed five cans, broke a window and stuffed a squeaky toy down his pants all in half an hour)

I sidewalked for....a horse that I cant remember in the fifth lesson and my arm really ached after that lesson because I had to hold the riders leg for the whole lesson. Then, in the sixth lesson, I ended up sidewalking with Steele and I ended up on his left side and he hates having sidewalkers on his left side so he kept trying to kick me.

Just for the fun of it, here's a list of the horses and the problems that they have:

Star: She bites when you do her girth up and she bites when you trot.

Steele: He kicks at anyone on his left side and has 'little man syndrome' because he's a shetland.

Jenny: Hates having sidewalkers, needs blinkers and likes to nibble on jumpers (and anything else thats on your person)

Shilo: SLOW!!! He refuses to go and hates having people infront of him.

Tara: Slow, slow, slow. She also has a mean attitude and will try to bite you.

Holly: Bites when you brush her, saddle her, do her girth up...she just bites. She also doesn't know the meaning of 'STOP' or 'WOAH!', but other than that she's a beautiful horse.

Cascade: He has 'big man syndrome', he likes to make a mess with his food-a BIG mess-and he hates Harry so you can't put the two naywhere near each other, has random mood wings. (My friend and I nicknamed him Jasper)

Chiko: Impatient and very vocal

Lace: She bites when you do the girth up and I think she has something against me.

Bunny: Can be slow and tempermental, can bite, can kick, has random mood swings, etc.

So everyone has a problem! Hurray T.T

Well, when I got back from RDA, mum dragged me out to Video Ezy and I found Howl's Moving Castle so now I own the non-pirated DVD, MINE ALL MINE!!! I also got raspberry fanta which probably explains why I'm hypo at the moment.

I guess that explains my day so far, boy do I love Sa-turd-ay's...Sunday is going to be a...cow....
