So, some of you may know that I have really been wanting to get a job at this new, nearby Equestrian center. It's called "Chasing the Dream Equestrian Center", and it is like, super fancy. But my Dad and I called another stable first. It's called Pheonix Farms. I worked there yesterday and this morning to talk about a real job there. But really, I just feel more at home at a place like my friends house, where I'm currently keeping Max. I was going to keep max at Pheonix Farms for reduced board,... Read More

 So I went to see max tonight, of course. I was a little worried because it was just a little chilly today, and he tends to act up when it's cold. But I was excited too, because I knew that if max was good today I would get to try his new tack on him

Grr! max and I are like a seesaw lately, one minute he is good and one bad, or like the seesaw, one second it's up and another it's down.

Well, that is until I got on him. Then he wanted to run since we had let him run himself out a little. But he got better, and so did I. It was scary for me at first, when my friends Mom let go of his halter, but I stayed cool and so did he. Mostly we only walked around because I am still doing no good at trotting in... Read More

Grr! I leave max alone for a few days and all of a sudden he thinks he's in charge! I didn't even get on him today because he was stomping and thrashing his head, and generally acting like he was in charge. I will get on him soon enough though. My friends Mom (who is an ex-horse trainer) is going to give him a serious attitude adjustment. But until then, anyone have any tips on telling max who is boss?... Read More
