I Really Want Him...

There's been this halflinger for sale for a few months (the seller hasn't been super motivated from what I'm seeing) and she's just lowered the price a bit. (From $1,200 to $900).  I love halflingers; they are gorgeous, small and sturdy.  I've talked to his owner off and on and he seems like a real good horse, and would fit my situation perfectly.  I really want him, and I'm considering going to check him out.  The owner, Beth, might wait until I have my money together and then sell him to me, so there is a chance I could get him.  Just thought I'd let you all know.

Back on Track

Was trying to stay away from horses as I was looking for a new job.  Money would just be so scarce and I probably couldn't be consistent with lessons or anything.  Then I got a full-time job at McDonald's, and my orientation for it is tomorrow.  I built up the courage to basically ask Amber if she would take me back, and she said she will!  I'm so thrilled.  I simply don't want to live without horses somewhere in my life.  As I've said before, something about them draws me in.  And something about them makes me feel better, as a lot of time I am down in the dumps.

So, I'm going to tell Amber that I'm waiting for my first pay check and at that point I can begin.  I really want to take two lessons a week.  She says that there are a few horses she knows of that I can pay to ride whenever I go to ride, but that I need to be in a consistent lesson program first, which is fine by me. (Even though I really prefer a lease, or owning.)

Things seem like they are finally get back on track.  We'll see!
