Job Applications: The Sequeled Sequel

I'll stop sequeling everything after this, mkay?

Just a quick update: I got the job out in Colorado! *flails* For the bare minimum of details: I'll be on the housekeeping staff, it's for all summer and part of the fall, and I'm nervous and excited at the same time. It's going to be AWESOME.

In other news, I went riding for the second time this year at a friend's house. They had me on a green Morgan mare--she's only been ridden a few times, but she seems willing enough. They're trying to get her to collect and not be so sloppy and 'strung out' in the various gaits--I'm not too good at collection to begin with (that is, knowing what it feels and looks like), but I tried. 

It was a lot of fun to ride something other than Colletta. The Morgan, for example, is much taller and has a much bigger and rounder stride than Colletta. (I love C, but she's got these little short legs and is basically pony-sized so it's a far different ride) Her trot and lope were both really nice, and the only casualties have been my shoulders from trying to hold her face in and my behind from wearing the wrong kind of underwear. (TMI? Oh well, I don't care. XD)

There was talk of riding the Saddlebred stud, but I didn't feel ready to tackle that. Apparently the stud is nice, but he's a little green and a much different ride from the Morgan. Here he is in all his high-stepping glory:

(This was taken last summer--the only difference is that he's got a winter coat now)

Maybe next time. :P

And now? It's back to the daily grind of school--I am determined, DETERMINED I SAY, to get this class done before I leave for Colorado. So here goes.
