This is a horrible habit of mine, I tend to start diaries and/or journals and then lose interest. I am determined to not lose interest in this blog! I love typing and talking about Dixie, what reason do I have to not update it?!
Life has been kind of busy lately though. School obviously comes first and I'm trying my hardest to actually successfully pass this year, I'm so sick of being in high school. Granted I only went a semester over my original graduation year, it's still too much. And then to add on the stress and to take away more of time, I have to work to support Dixie. So whenever I'm not at school, I've got 16 hours of working to do. Finally, when I'm not at school or working, I go to the barn. You can see why I've been neglecting my internet commitments, right?
So yesterday Sherri and I took Whoopdi and Dixie out into the corn field. I had told her earlier that I would love to run in the corn field one day but I didn't want to go alone. I was pretty worried about Dixie not stopping once we got running. Having a horse run-off with me is kind of a fear of mine, I've just ridden a few horses within the last years who have run off with me. This was one of Dixie's big problems in the beginning. You could definitely say that this was her ultimate test. So we head into the corn field, we start trotting down the rows, everything is going great. Then we spot a huge buck, the horses didn't seem to be horribly bothered by it. Sherri asked Whoopdi if he wanted to go get it and he went off at a trot after it! Dixie of course had to follow! Dixie was trying so hard to keep up with Whoopdi without cantering, I don't think her little legs could go any faster! So that was fun in itself but then we go to the end and started cantering...oh my gosh! It was sooooo much fun. Dixie was so good too! She was actually controlled the entire time, she stopped when I asked her too and went when I did the same. I am just so proud of her!
This is just a quick post but I did update the things that I want to accomplish with Dixie and I took away the horsey items that I've obtained section.
I'll be back with pictures, don't worry!

You really have to trail ride more often, it is so much FUN! Galloping, although fun, is not nearly as fun (in my opinion) as loping down the trail on a quiet horse. I just love that feeling. =)
And now i want PICTURES!!!!!!! Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top and spice?
