A New Year

*Blow dust off of blog*

It's been quite a while since I last posted something here!

And as you can see, though it is very much late for this announcement, we are all still alive! :D Isn't it amazing? :P

Yes, the mayan's were wrong, the world didn't end in a big fiery ball of crazy nor did the zombies rise from their graves to eat the flesh of the living. 

It just started to snow...


But that isn't why I'm blogging after months of nothingness.

I'm actually here to announce something big, something that has been in the mix since last summer. 

I've bought a horse.

Yes, four to five years after I was forced to give away the two older mares we had next door I have finally picked up the reins and got back in the saddle.

His name is Apollo and he's a 3 going on 4 year old registered paint gelding.

At the moment I'm refreshing him since he was off part of last year, but so far we're doing good; except for today -- he was being kind of a butt (his teenager day). 

He's going to be my trail riding mount, mostly, but I do plan on showing him once he's a little older and just in the fun little shows.  At the moment I can't really do a circuit or anything like that :P

Another thing, which I don't think I've mentioned yet (and if I have I apologize for repeating myself) I've switched to western riding.  I find it much more relaxing than english riding (but that's just my opinion, no one needs to bit my head off for my own opinion). 

Anyways, I don't have much more to say for the moment besides that I will try to keep this thing updated on my experience with Apollo.
