Secret Santa Withdrawals?
-
Anyone else feeling lonely after Secret Santa? It was a nice feeling when my page said "inbox 8" at one time with SS horse requests, and I loved all of the activity...., and touching base with all of my acquaintances/friends/people I haven't met yet. but now Secret Santa is over and now what do I do? (BTW if I made a commitment to do something and I forgot in the chaos please let me know)
Although as of the 1st my horse is leased out and that doesn't help either. :(. And Mom and I had to move from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment. When I was at a horse show (that I didn't get ANY placings at BTW super bummed) Mom (and her BF) moved most of our stuff. But not all of it. So she had to go back to work. So I had to move the rest by myself (eventually I talked to my teacher and he recommended a friend a could hire). Our landlord gave the keys to the house to the new person moving in before we were even moved out. (It was to her CREEPY son but still). And he came in and put a Satanic Shower Curtain on and touched our stuff, and took pictures (which is fine decorate how he wants but... while I'm still in there?) . Really creeped me out. I know intelectually that it was because she was stressed, but Mom blamed some stuff on me that I don't think I deserved. That made me so angry I started shaking and then cried (why cry? Don't know) in front of Aaron. The guy moving in. Of course. So anyways. Had a rough week, and lonely because my one local "in person" friend isn't talking to me now. But that's another story..... There was more drama, but I'll spare the details. I HATE drama.... Including the transmission going out in Mom's truck.
Anyone have any ISO's I can help with?... Nothing is more satisfying then having a good match for something someone was looking for.... Even if its just straws/eggs.Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

Yes! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing withdrawals!
And while my week hasn't been nearly as subpar as yours, it hasn't been fantastic. Problems with my car, my roommate keeps touching my things, and my stomach's been giving me some grief, and my job isn't giving me the hours I was told I'd get.
That said, I'm always hunting for liver mares, hom flaxen, short and heavy as possible for my mushroom stallion.
Expro as close to cob as possible mares that are liver, flaxen and appy.
And I lost some of my hom KP 2G mares this rollover, so I'd love to pick up a couple. :)
And I'm always on the lookout for nice snowflakes to add to my band. ;)ID# 25784 -
These girls are older but they can have one foal this season each and/or pull eggs. I would just give them to you if you wished.

The rest is up for you BlueValley.
Thank you guys. I really appreciate the support from this community. I honestly don't know why I have such a hard time keeping "in person" friends. Am I too brutally honest? Do I have weird quirks I don't know about?
I thought the drama off this was all over, but we had to go back to pick up some stuff. We thought we were nice because we left some things like a dresser, and a bed (which he requested). Along with a washer/drier set etc. All we wanted in exchange was for him to get rid of the treadmill.... Instead HUGE drama directed at us, to the extent Mom cried in front of her boss, and mildly cussed at me again. But then we had a nice dinner with her BF last night, and she remembered that she hadn't taken her anti-deppresants in a couple weeks.... so maybe she'll be back to the loving Mom I remember when she takes them again?Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

First day at new house... went to leave my dog in the yard so we could go to lunch. And... she escaped into neighbors yard. Which is very unlike her... had her for 8 years and she’s never run away. So we get to make an electric fence today instead of unpack. Oh well

Wow! That's crazy! My dog isn't that smart... We don't really trust the new fence we put up... and somehow we ended back at the BF's house last night...

I'm in the "big city" for an archery competition, so afterwards we get to go see her. It's with my "non horsey" Dad, but oh well. I'm not going to be picky.
I've been housesitting for a local lady with saddlebreds and friesians, and heard about me being horseless. So she offered to let me start riding her saddlebred stallion again! SO excited! He is 25YO's, but is just about the coolest horse ever. (Second only to my girl of course)

Ugh, that sounds really rough. I'm sorry to hear about your crappy week :( Internet hugs? :x
I DO have a project I could use some help with - I'm looking for some high generation unbred 4yo+ mares. I don't have a ton of money, but I'd like to breed a few high gen stallions I have before the season is out! Anyway, drafts are ideal, but I'll take anything, since it's kind of an experiment for me. :)

When I got to visit Lexi yesterday I got the whole story on that picture. Apparently for a few years now that girl has been scared of any regular horses. The bigger the scarier. So her Mom bought her a miniature horse that she could build her confidence up with. Then Lexi (doesn't look it in the picture but she is 17hh) comes along and she asks if she could ride. They ask if Lexi had ever packed a JR rider, which was mostly a no. (Besides one funny story I'll have to tell sometime.) so she set her up there, and the little girls form was terrible. With her jiggling all over the place. And Lexi trotted her slowest gear. I saw the video, and it was funny, because Lexi is a 100% huntseat horse, but she was jogging slower for that girl than I can get her to when we go and fake it in western pleasure. Ever since the kid has BEGGED her Mom every day after school to ride Lexi.Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

The archery comp went "eh". But it was SO windy. And I haven't practiced in about a month. They moved my practice to an inconveniant time. Then there was a holiday on my practice day. Then of course christmas break. (I actually think that it's been 6 weeks since I last practiced).

So... I'm being a bit ridiculous.
Back story.
I joined an IEA team for western. I had fun, but my trainer seemed to think that I've never ridden quite as good since. (Which kinda seems weird as the IEA trainer travels the world as a judge, and is a well known trainer). But whatever. So I wanted to join an english IEA team for a multitude of reasons. My horse is "green" over fences, and I want to better myself before jumping her. 2.) What I'm really passionate about is jumping. 3.) My horse wasn't jumping sound so it was my only oppurtunity to ride. 4.) Looked good on scholarships. 5.) I am taking a school trip to Ireland to ride some 3 day eventers, and I wanted to be able to jump better to use the time. 6.) I was told I needed to be an "adult" and start doing things for myself. So this was what I was going to do on my own, for me.
I went down to a beginning "welcome" party and I felt REALLY out of place. Everyone had 80,000$ dollar horses and were kinda snotty. But the co-trainer seemed ok, so whatever. The IEA trainer was "VC". So anyways. VC wanted to meet my trainer (Carla), and to see my riding. Which sounded OK. So she came and met Carla, and they talked for a while. VC promised Carla that she wouldn't try to change my riding form.
Well... two seconds of her watching me ride on my horse she started changing my form. A LOT. For paint horse Hunt Seat I have a tendency to lean too far forward to begin with. And the first thing that VC had me do is almost ride in a two-point position, but constantly. Which is OK. I two-point all the time. But then she asked me to stop. And my horses command is to lean back. If she doesn't listen you might add the word "Woah". But the command is really to lean back. So when I sat up and asked her to stop she got frustrated. And it went WAY downhill from there. So VC asked me to do things that are perfectly reasonable of her discipline, but really confused my horse. It took me days to get my horse back to normal. Carla was upset that I was getting "ruined" again. Mom was upset that this was expensive and that I needed to "focus" and only ride my horse. (I would argue that that's what makes me a good rider - riding multiple horses. But I differentiate discipline or "riding mode" by what horse I am on. I can ride a reining horse, a 2YO and my girl in the same day all with almost opposite commands and get confused. But after that day on Lexi I couldn't "undue" the muscle memory). So anyways, Mom wanted me to ONLY ride Lexi. Not even other paint horses were OK. And Carla was all upset because if I wanted to do Hunter Jumper stuff then I need to sell my horse and get a hunter jumper. (I might want to make it clear that my girl actually jumps just fine thank you, and got 7th in the world in hunter hack.)
So although they "aren't forcing me into a decision" they made it clear that they thought that I shouldn't do the IEA team. But I was being stupid, and didn't have the guts to call VC myself and ask for my deposit back. So I made Mom call her back. (Yes I am a coward, and juvenile and ridiculous, and immature etc.)
So fast forward to now. I am horseless. And now I don't have an IEA team to fall back on. I still would like to practice for Ireland. I recommended VC to our neighbors (actually Mom's BF's neighbors) though for lessons. Although I don't think they told her that I was the one to recommend her. I wanted to ride with our neighbors ("Leisa") to watch their lesson. Then talk to VC afterwards for lessons. But Leisa said that she didn't feel comfortable taking me there without permission. Which means I need to call and talk to VC. And now I'm all worried she's upset at me, and I feel bad for "flaking out". And besides, since Mom and I aren't at the BF's house all the time I don't talk to the neighbors as much, so don't know if I could even coordinate with riding with them anyway. (Thought they were going to let me ride one of their horses. But that's a different story)
So... I don't know what I'm asking for... Advice?... Or I'm just venting? Or I'm writing down so I can see how ridiculous I'm being... or what....?Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

Oof. It's really tough to adjust to not riding or having a horse. Been there, done that. Until I can have my own horse again I've started learning other skills instead (swing dancing and ceramics so far!) It's not the same and I still spend a lot of time looking at for sale ads, but it gives me something to do and I'm learning something new!
But unlearning things is hard. I started out riding old cowhorses at a local nonprofit with little to no instruction, then rode for a year with one trainer before going to my last trainer (ranch/natural horsemanship/western dressage discipline). It took literal years for me to unlearn all the bad habits from not having a trainer. And while I would love to try different disciplines, I would hope that now I am the kind of rider that can get along with most horses and disciplines.
And I hear ya on the snooty horse girls. They were the bane of my existence in high school, lol. It sounds like you are pretty mature, though, so don't let them bother you any ;)ID 43830

I don't know what to do. My Mom has been somewhat rude all day. My Dad and I were driving to my archery competition. In the morning Mom (on the phone as the parents are split) asks me what time we are leaving. I tell her, and she's gets all rude telling me how we're going to be late. But it kinda isn't her responsibility as she isn't going. It's Dad and mine thing. In times past she'd just randomly call Dad up just to tell him how ridiculous he's being as he's going to make me late. So then we get to competition and I tell her that I made it safely. She sends another text admonishing me for being late. (Which we weren't. she didn't even know our flight times). Dad and I were going to go the back way for some together time. Mom calls me up and asks me where I am. I tell her the name of the highway we're on. She's like "well that's a stupid way to get home, I might need to have to go take care of (Ida)'s dogs as she is taking her to the ER. (Which we could have done if we went the normal way). But sorry to say, so we can't. Then later she wants me to go hang out with our friend in the ER so she can go to dinner with her boyfriend. Meanwhile my Dad is struggling to keep his nose out of my Mom's business but is obviously frustrated by all of this. But Dad and I were going to be too late for her to be going to dinner. But I offer anyway, and she tells us to just go home. So Dad and I have a good evening. It's now midnight and Mom is telling me that I need to go drive 45 minutes so that I can take care of Ida's dogs. Which I would do if she was staying with Ida. But no. She's driving to within 15 minutes of Ida's house. Anyways. I expressed my concerns and reasoning when she called. I did not tell her how extremely upset my Dad is getting. We hang up, and I forgot to tell her that I love her. So I text that to her. And get 3 rapid responses
Ida was listening and it really sounded like you were not being supportive
I was hoping that you would be a little bit more open to helping
PS NO I'm NOT very happy
But what I don't understand is I'm just a teenager, the one she won't let drive back to her place after my college class because it was too dark at 7, but at midnight when she is going 75% of the way to Ida's house, I need to leave my Dad's house to go take of the dogs, just so she can spend the night with her boyfriend?
Am I being ridiculous? I normally pride myself on always being there to help, but I don't understand when she is already going out to the neighboring city? My car doesn't even have very good healights.Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.
15552 -
Well she called me again after she left the hospital.... I was like flinching getting ready to be yelled at. lol.... But she actually sounded completely normal.... She is going to Ida's tonight to let out the dogs. (Which why she can't just stay there like Ida asked, I don't know, but whatever). Then she is driving back to the BF's house. She wants me to get up and drive out there in the morning and feed them. Which is no problem as I was planning on going to Mom's apartment that direction anyway.
I was going to sleep in,but that's just being petty. It still is 45 minutes away, but it still is a good compromise and makes more sense anyways.
***to clarify Ida's dogs live in crates. So that's part of why they have to be turned out tonight. They have been fed.Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.

Yep. As my dad tried just to tell me a lack of planning on another’s part does not constitute an emergency on yours.
I set my alarm but accidentally sent it for pm instead of am. I was hoping to just head out. But Dad made breakfast. Then lectures on how my mom is a guilting mastermind. Then my mom called in tears asking where I was. She claimed she was just tired. But I was too late too far away so she’s going to let them out.
