infiniteandsmallI was going to post last night, but then I spilled my hot chocolate all over the carpeted floor in my bedroom and.
Yeah. There was no posting. At least I got it all out in the end?
I was going to ride this one girl's horse (pretty sure I posted about it or whatever), but she was kind of in a little dispute with the other girl who rode the horse and I guess she was going to give the other girl until this week to take a hint.
But at the same time I wasn't sure if she was going to get it together so our names were still on the list of people who were looking for leasers and apparently this girl is looking for someone to ride her horse when she goes away to college. My sister and I went down and rode him for the first time yesterday, and it was great. He's such a cutie, he's a quarter horse and has that big muscly adorable quarter horse butt but a little delicate Arabian face with the little teacup muzzle and those huge huge eyes. He apparently started out as a farm horse in Amish country, he pulled a cart and a little boy rode him to school and stuff. Then he went to a western barn and they tried to train him to be a western horse, but they realized pretty quickly that he wasn't cut out for that, so they had the english trainer there train him instead. She tried to train him to jump but said that he couldn't jump, even though by that she meant "can't jump over three point five foot with good form" and that he could totally do little jumps. He can do training level dressage, I guess, and they're trying to work on him a little, but he doesn't really compete.
We're going to do Saturdays for sure through the winter, with his owner with us, and I'm going to ask if we could maybe take some private lessons with him Fridays, since Friday's he's usually ridden by one of the instructors at the barn.
But I'm so excited. And his other leaser is one of the grooms and we get along really well, so it's fun to have her hang around too. I'm just so excited! I'll have to post some pictures of him, he's THE CUTEST and such a sweetheart and AHHHH. I has a pony!
Literally last week I had so many FEELS about Rosemary and two weeks ago I had so many FEELS about Klaine and today I am apparently having feels about Dirkjake. I made a dumb 8tracks mix and everything it's just the LEAST OKAY.
Like at least Klaine and Rosemary are such a happy couple like they have their rough patches and drama but they are goddamn disney princes and princesses compared to Dirkjake.
Like these dumb teenaged rough boys who just don't know people and don't know touch and are covered in sharp edges and surrounded by walls trying to fight their way through and *sobs* babies
Also I've been having marlique feelings but they are happier feelings like they are mostly relating to the barn AU that I am constantly plotting out in my head.
Like Marley would be barely scraping the money together for a lesson a week and working all she can to get them and even when she doesn't ride she comes down and just hangs out because she wants to be there so bad she wants to belong.
And she does, everyone likes her because she's such a sweetheart and they can see how hard she works and she's capable but she never feels like she fits in because she's not a very good rider.
And Unique would be a totally dressage queen with the blingiest crownpieces and a stack of fancy saddlepads and she's a very capable rider but hops from barn to barn because people give her shit about her weight and being trans* and how she's very feminine and the fact that she rides this doofy Percheron/quarter horse mix that she's learned to ride on instead of "upgrading" to a fancy warmblood.
And she and Marley would stick together over feeling ostracized and Unique would insist that Marley would ride her horse and Marley would be wary because she doesn't want charity but Unique would insist, saying that Marley can teach the Perch how to jump and will be doing Unique a favor, really, just ride my damn pony please. Finally Marley would ride the Perch and they would kick ass in the hunter-jumper ring and then Unique would ride the Perch and they would kick ass in the dressage ring and all would be SO IMPOSSIBLY DAMN WONDERFUL.
