Can there please be more hours in the day? I don't have time to do anything that I want to do. I feel like I'm slacking in all areas of my life - friends feel like I'm ditching them constantly, but it's not like I'm doing it to go ride, because ponees are feeling neglected too. Luke was a jerk on the ground last week, and he's always perfect.
Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone reads this even, but it's good for me to keep track of my progress. I have GOT to start riding him more. I do better during the school year when I don't have to work 40 hours a week.
Molly is gonna start riding him once a week for me, which is super exciting. So hopefully I'll be able to ride him at least three times a week and lunge him once. That would be 5 days. I gotta get moving though....Grand River is in less than a month. Yikes!
So my goal for schedules for next week will be:
Monday: Molly ride Luke.
Tuesday: My turn! Hopefully work on flatwork and a little bit of jumping if he's doing well.
Wednesday: Lunge in Side Reins
Thursday: Day off for Luke
Friday: Outside riding - flat work and jumping
Saturday: More dressage
Sunday: Day off
So hopefully we'll finally start getting somewhere. We're doing very green at Grand River. *sigh*...it would be Baby Beginner Novice if I could just get that right lead. Oh well...one step at a time!

About Luke & Jodi
Jodi:
Registered Name: Dial Jet Jodi
Age: 25
Color: Red Roan/Sorrel
Breed: Quarter Horse
Jodi was my first horse. My sister & I bought him when I was almost 15, and he's stuck around. He was the first horse I ever showed, the first horse I ever fell off of, and the horse that taught me how to ride. He's my best friend and I'd be lost without him. He loves to drink Coke from the bottle, but won't touch Pepsi. He loves skittles and peppermints. He's a little bit loopy, but he's special, and I love him for it.
Luke:
JC Name: Here Comes Luther
Age: 8
Color: Dark Bay
Breed: Thoroughbred
Luke was born in Ohio and purchased as a weanling by someone who took him to Texas. He raced as a 4 year old in Texas, and came back to Ohio his 5 year old year. He ran for most of his 5 year old year before they decided he didn't want to be a racehorse. He ran 14 times and never hit the board. His last race was September 11, 2006, and I bought him on October 6, 2006. He came home a week later, and we began the process of getting to know each other. He was my first OTTB, and he has taught me so much. Our eventual goal is eventing...we're finally on our way!
