A Girl and Her Horse: June 2009
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. Jack is for sale. Yes, sadly I have made the hard decision to sell my darling boy. Originally I had decided just to lease him out. I didn't think it was fair on him to have him with me in Palmy as I didn't have the time to ride him, nor the funds to compete him. But my parents have both been diagnosed with cancer and they are no longer able to help with extra support of me while I study, so Jack must be sold. I'm really gutted but I know its the best thing. Here is his sale ad.

A Girl and Her Horse: Hot to trot
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2009/04/hot-to-trot.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. After about 45 minutes he started getting lazy and falling behind my leg. Since I didn't have a whip with me, I had to give him a good couple of kicks to keep him moving forward. Once I got a nice forward trot I asked for a walk and then cooled down. I will have to get moving on that conditioning program. he looks like hes going to need it. Sounds like you had a really great ride! Good that you knew when to stop as well.

A Girl and Her Horse: Quote of the Week
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2009/04/quote-of-week.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Quote of the Week. Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,. Friendship without envy,. Or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is served with muscle. And strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent. There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954. Labels: quote of the week. So very glad you are back! April 22, 2009 at 8:29 AM.

A Girl and Her Horse: September 2008
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. Jack arrives on Sunday! The first pony club rally is on Tuesday but I won't be riding because I want Jack to have some time to settle in. I am so excited! Unfortunately the saddle I had set up for him fell through so I'm rushing around trying to find someone who will lend me a saddle with a changeable gullet before next week. I think I've got one sorted! I can do with the dandy brush but I'm going to have to get a new body brush. Links to this post. My Little Pony 25th Birthday.

Monday, April 20, 2009. Our First Training Event Planning. Jack and I are competing at our first Training Event in 3 weeks time. I am a little nervous but my friend E has convinced me that I will be fine, and that Jack is more then capable. I find that planning things really helps to make me feel prepared and ready for such a thing as this. The trial is at Arran Station, in Takapau, Hawkes Bay so if anyone wants to come say hey, feel free. PS I like the new layout alot. April 21, 2009 at 2:16 AM. I would...

A Girl and Her Horse: May 2009
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. I've been very busy lately and have neglected this poor blog! Uni is crazy at the moment so poor Jack has been getting fed and cleaned regularly and not much else. I'm sure he's happy though, what horse doesn't want to hang in a paddock and eat? I'll be praying hard. Otherwise, there is not much else going on here! This blog will be having its own winter hiatus so don't expect too much! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. A Horse and a Half.

Wednesday, November 26, 2008. I can't believe it. The farrier cannot come to until Wednesday next week. Please Wednesday. get your butt here fast. Links to this post. Sunday, November 23, 2008. And so it continues. Well the abscess saga is still not over. It keeps going on and on. This is a picture of Jack's hoof. And the red arrow and outline show where the abscess travelled downward towards Jack's toe. This is also the part the farrier dug out. When D pushed the sole down near the abscess little bubble...

A Girl and Her Horse: E's Show Jumping Lesson
http://alittlemoresunshine.blogspot.com/2009/04/es-show-jumping-lesson.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. E's Show Jumping Lesson. My friend E had a show jumping lesson this morning and I decided to tag along to watch. Her horse Tom is a cool guy, this was the first time I really saw him in action. The very last photo is E and Tom jumping 1.35m and the corner in the 2nd photo is 1.3om. On the way home from the lesson, E let me drive the float home! I was stoaked as I've been wanting to learn how for ages. I went nice and slow and drove nicely. E said I did great! The black and whit...
