New Barn!

Today me and all my friends are moving to a new home.... right around the corner. It's very exciting. The pastures are huge and filled with yummy clover. I love clover, it makes me drool though. Apparently it's bad for my kidneys, whatever those are. Taylor told me I have to stop eating the clover if I drool too much. But I really like clover.

Taylor has still been coming out and riding me every day. I'm beginning to discover that she isn't going to give in on telling me where to go and at what speed so I've just decided that I will go along with her for now, it's actually much less effort to do what she asks than to try to correct her. I have also discovered that the one who stands in the middle of the arena and yells is called Lisa. Lisa keeps talking about an "obstacle course clinic." I don't know what it means, but I don't think I'll enjoy it.

I think I hear Taylor pulling down the driveway, I'm going to go lay down for a nap and refuse to get up when she comes over to get me.

I think I'm settling in just fine.

Dressage......

Taylor keeps talking to her friend, who likes to stand in the middle of the arena and scream at her, about this whole "dressage" thing. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but Taylor keeps saying that I don't bend, and that I keep resisting the bit. I'm not resisting the bit, I'm just telling Taylor that it would be better if we went in a different direction. I don't understand why that girl doesn't comprehend that. Today she made me go into the arena and do the same stinkin' circles over and over again while her friend stood in the middle and yelled at her. Taylor kept sticking her inside leg on my side and wiggling her inside rein. Isn't that annoying? I finally tricked her into stopping that by bending my body toward the inside of the arena.

Taylor told me I have a short neck... I don't see it.
