You Owe Me!!!
Today the temperature dropped about 25 degrees from yesterday. We even got snow today (though I never got to see it, being trapped in my windowless room). Taylor was a bit wired. We started off having a very good ride, and then she decided to start spooking at NOTHING. Seriously, she dove sideways from a blank wall. Then she leaped and dove when Corky made a rustling noise in her stall. Finally in frustration I grabbed Taylor's halter and yelled at her face 'YOU OWE ME'!!! I have $2,000 in vet bills sitting on my desk so that you are comfortable! I have dedicated my winter, spring, and summer to working out and gaining strength to become a better rider for you! I spent all of my extra money on training and things for you to help you become better and make you more comfortable (all the while going without personal luxuries!). You get new shoes every 5-6 weeks, and I haven't bought a new pair of shoes in 3 years! You have regular meals, on time, every day...and often I have to skip meals in order to have time to ride! I have dedicated this summer into making you the best you can be, now it's your turn to do right by me!!!!!!!
Do you think she understands? Will my little rant make a difference? She did look me in the eye while I yelled, so maybe I got through to her.
Oh, bring me sunshine and 80 degree weather next weekend, please!
