Photography, A girl in training.

Hi y'all!
So I am just starting to learn about photography. My mother loves taking pictures and is really good at it. I asked her to teach me! I use my phone and a Nikon D3100 to take photos. I think that it is so much fun! I am going to try and post a new batch of pictures every week. The topics this week are, horses (Breyer), my guinea pig, and plants! Here is batch number one! :)

My School Day at the Barn

Hey guys I just wanted to give you an update on what's going on. I just started school on Tuesday. I wanted to show y'all what I have been doing. So this blog post is going to be about the horse part of my schooling! I go every Wednesday and I stay for about 4 hours! I have to clean stalls,clean troughs, clean the poop off the trail, feed the horses, groom the horses so my teacher Serena can ride them, put horses in turnout. I also get to free lunge two of the horses, give treats, and sometimes I get to help exercise Jewel! (One of my favorites!) I got to ride BAREBACK yesterday! It was my first time ever!! And a bonus was that as soon as I mounted my Mama pulled up so she got to watch me ride!!! I had so much fun! And I hope to get to do it again soon!!

John & Chris

Today I am going to tell you about my friends John & Chris! They have a dog named Kea.We are going to take care of her for 10 days starting Sunday! I can't wait! John & Chris have brought so much into my life since we have met them! The funny thing is that we met by me asking to throw  Kea's ball! Ever since we have been friends! Once John gave me a Sharks hockey stick used by the backup goalie! His company works at the Sharks stadium.  His crew even repainted the Shark head!! John has a great sense of humor! Chris is so much fun to be around! She is a GREAT cook! One time she went out to their beach house to meet their gardener. While she was there she went to my favorite ice cream shop & got me my favorite Lavender ice cream!! ( I ate the whole pint in two days!!) They even on the 4th of July took us to see fireworks!! I have not seen fireworks in like 3 years! It was so exciting!! It was soooo cool! I am so glad glad that I have become friends with them! They have brought so much into my life! I am so glad to have met them!

New School Year!!!

Hello! Are you excited for the new school year? I sure am! I might be homeschooled, but I can't wait to do things like studying horses, finishing botany and starting a yoga class! I also can't wait to go to my nature class on mondays!!! The classes that I take are one of the many things I love about being homeschooled! Ok, so what I want you to do is in the comments put as many teachers that you can remember and what grade they taught you in! Make sure not to put your school name or anything like that! I will start! In 4k I had a teacher named Mrs Danielle. In kindergarten my teacher's name was Mrs Coston! In 1st my teacher's name was Mrs Hammers! In 2nd my teacher's name was Miss Mac! In 3rd - 5th my teacher has been Mrs Traci! ( That's my Mama)! Are you looking forward to the new school year? Also, put if you go to a private school, public school, homeschooled, or any other type of school! I am sooo excited!! I hope you are too!

My First Horse Show

Last Friday I had my first horse show. I got second place in my group. I think that is pretty good for my first horse show! Since my group was last in the entire show me and my friends were the ribbon runners. That means that we got the score piece of paper from the judge and gave it to the announcer. Then the announcer would add up the points and then announce the winners. Each group had at least three people and at most five. My group had three including me. And the announcer is my teacher when I go to lessons. And it was kind of funny that all of us in group six are in her class on Thursday at 7:00 pm. So we knew each other. It was kind of fun getting judged by someone other than my teacher. My horse's name was Radier. He is a Paint Horse. I was freaking out because Radier kept picking up the wrong lead on the canter! But I enjoyed it so much! And the best part is that my friends John and Chris came to watch me ride! I am so grateful they came and supported me in my first horse show! It was so much fun and I would do it again in a minute. I can't wait for next year and I am going to keep working and get first place next year! I hope I keep learning to be a better rider! And Thank you again John and Chris for coming! Bye! 

 This is me waiting to ride.
