I have some great news. I was on a horse group on Facebook and found a free lease in exchange for cleaning stalls! The horse is a 2005 TB, willing and safe for beginners. The owner has two horses on her property but is attending college and does not have time for both of them. She seems very nice. The only downside is it's about a 45 minute drive. But I think it's worth it, since it's free.
I am talking to the owner now and we are figuring out a time for me to come meet him. Will update soon!

I don't know how to title this
Long time, no see! Again! I am horrible at staying committed to this blog....or anything, really....
Anyhoo, I haven't really done anything horse-related in the past few months. The lease did not work out. Mainly because I was concerned about the excessive barn drama I was about to become involved in, and the owner did not want me to use Amber for lessons if I leased the horse, bla bla bla, I just got overwhelmed and decided not to do it.
If only I could have my own pony...
That's not realistic, though. Never really has been. Hopefully one day.
The reason I'm writing this blog post now is that I really don't want to give up on riding, I've never wanted to give up necessarily. It's just expensive, mainly. And there's drama, and that always scares me away. I'm not that good with people.
I've been thinking about horses constantly for the past few weeks. I started looking online for leases, places to board, lessons, perhaps, horses for sale, anything. I also brought the idea of riding again up to my mom. She likes the idea, and she's willing to help pay, but I obviously have to pay a majority of it.
A few minutes ago I came across an ad for a horse for lease. This horse happens to be from Possum Creek. I texted her, and actually found the owner on Facebook as she is friends with Megan, so added her there. Still waiting for a response so hopefully this may lead to something. If not, oh well. Worth a shot, though.
