Back on!

Well it's been a LONG time since I've felt like getting on here. Lots of things have changed in my life, but as the old saying goes, the more things change the more they stay the same. So...a couple of updates: I'm making the trip of a lifetime this fall to some pretty exciting places overseas and I plan to permanently acquire my leased horse. I had been entertaining the idea of buying a new horse and returning the leased one, but after I sat down and really thought about what that would be like, tossing out the patient friend who taught me so much, how to canter, how to ride with double reins, how to ride in a full bridle, how to become a confident rider, I found that I couldn't do it. So I want to transfer his papers to me and make it official. I think he'll be pleased, he seems pretty content with life right now. So I'll post updates when all of this comes to pass.
