blood, sweat, and sweet feed.

i know i know, i'm two days behind! -grumbles- i've broken it into two sections so i don't get maddened emails about my slacker-ness.

Thursday-

Tonight i gave ruger the night off and went to see phantom of the opera at the pantages theater in la...GREAT show by the way, and i highly suggest that you all go see it! :)

BLAZE! frustrated the hell out of my mom tonight and i must say not being there to help my mom kinda irritated me, cause i wanted to be there for her and let her know this was the right choice. that mare...lord help me...i thought ruger was going to be the crazy one(it's always the quiet ones!) but she has some spirit! We all alllllll weekend to harass her so it should end well.
-crosses fingers-

Friday-
My dad, being the lovely soul he is, gave my mom and i a half day off(family business, aint' it fun!) and i brought my secret weapon...MARY!! my friend for over 15 years and my sidekick on most days involving horses. She worked with BLAZE! and got her to tie and learn "whoa" which was fantastic cause now we can touch her.

Ruger was, um, ok today. I have been pussy footing around this whole petting her thing cause..well i hadn't pulled up my big girl panties and gotten serious about this thing yet..well that is until my dad harassed me and said "if your going to have a horse to ride at this thing, you better get going!" tuchay my friend, tuchay so with that...
wait for it....
we pushed our comfort zone(hers and mine) and we got a whole neck and shoulder rub down!!! yay! my goal is to be brushing her by sunday. plain and simple...this has to happen no more of this wimpy crap. :) She also discovered that if she is scared of something, she will wear it on her head. lol. it's always been my motto..."you don't like that bush?? good. we'll wear it on our head"
She wants so bad to be good, but her senses are telling her RUN! SCARY TWO LEGGER! we started out great today and ended great...it was the scary drystall bag in between that made us sweaty and pissy.

oh and sorry about the no photos. again...

i promise some tomarrow. :)

over and out!
