Man agriculture sure is boring..

Why on earth did i choose to do agriculture...Wow just now my correspondence teacher walked in and gave me more correspondence work! yay just what i need! i like getting mail though, i got a ear tagger! now that is interesting stuff! and ears...like actual ears, kinda grossing me out. But i guess you can't go around willy nilly tagging real animals' ears! lol
Well now that that huge buzz is over ill bore you (and amuse me) with telling you how lame Ag is, well its not like anyone reads my blogs, they are pretty dull. Probably about as dull as Ag. I still don't know why i chose this subject. its all about grass. and dirt. fun as huh?
its not like i want a career is grass... The study of grass. GRASSOLOGY! Man.. genius. Hi I'm Michelle and I'm a grassologist. See from one sentence a stranger could tell i have absolutely no life. Ha Ha.
Speaking "ology's" though i decided what i may want to do as a career - Ancient History, So i thought about getting into Archeology..Well actually considering I'm not even sure if that's how you spell then maybe i shouldn't. Ideally what i want to do is get a Masters in Ancient history, Majoring in Egyptology. Now that actually does sound a whole lot better than Grassology. Or Dirtology. Quite frankly i'm over Ag. And i really wish you could do ancient history by correspondence but you cant. Classical studies is the closet thing i can find, but looking at all the things you have to study it doesn't sounds very cool at all, i read in a book a little while ago and you can study pyramids..and its called pyramidology! i think its true, i might Google it, if pyramidology isn't even a word then i probably sound like a right pyramidiot!
I just googled it and Yes, it is a word. I'm not waffling on in my own language after all.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidology
Its all written in fancy techno babbley jargon, That i don't understand all too well. =]
Damn there's still 20 minutes to go in this period...
Well i killed 12 minutes sitting here wondering what to write now. Man i could actually do Ag but i only do that if i get really bored! now that there's only 6 minutes to go in this period why start now!
I'm really good at procrastinating, Maybe i found my hidden talent. I could get a masters in procrastination. Nah for some reason i don't think that one exists.. I would Google it, but I'm 99% sure i made it up.
Well 2 minutes of this period to go so I'd better log off..
Yours sincerely
Michelle the Grassologist.

Tegan Stays For A Week

It was Awesome =]

The first day we rode into town, We visited my School!

Twiggy goes to school!

And then we rode on the soccer domain =D

One day we went to Pony Club

Me and Twiggy, Hmm i seem to have developed a bad habit of looking at the jump behind me, Maybe because im used to her whacking it, not to sure how looking at the jump will help though!

Tegan and jaffa =]

Tegan rides Twiggles! Wow Twiggys knees are actually even in this photo - Bonus.

Me + Twiggy

Me on Jaffa, Yes jaffa excells in dressage, Hes always on the bit LOL

Pony Club Ribbon Day - Closing Rally

Tonks was really good! it was just a ribbon day and i cant be bothered to explain the whole thing =] but ill post pictures! we had a good day anyway!

NISS Dressage Champs

Tonks Went soo wellI got up at like 5 in the morning Pitch black, went to catch tonks bout 20mins later and couldnt find anywhere!! Finally found him hiding in the dark, Once loaded we head to Charlottes - Up honikiwi. We arrived at St peteres at about 8 ish. My first test was at 12.44, so i had ages to wait, But Charlottes was at 8.30 (Hence why we had to get there early) Tonks was reall chilled out i thought he would have gone a bit bonkers cause he hasnt been out in so long, but nah he just dosed in the sun for 4 hours! I hopped on him at about 12, and i had a good 45minute warm up, he was really chilled out!! had to keep pushing him on heaps in the canter so her wouldnt break! =]

I Went in for my first test Which was Prelim 1.4. We was so chilled out, But the judges were a pack of arseholes though. They marked us down SO much. They shouldnt have though, cause he was calm, but not lazy. Bent correctly, etc, but he just had his head a low frame, not "on the bit" 100% of the time, i guess the judges just liked the fancy horses with there head on there chest!! but i was soo stoked with how he went!

Looking at the scores later i only got 50%! and the judge didnt say a single nice comment! what a bitch!

My 2nd Test which was Novice 2.1 was at 2.00 i jumpd on about 30mins before and and warmed him up, again he wasnt phased by anything, This Test got a bit Screwed up but not Tonk's fault i couldnt hear my caller very well unfortunatly. He Broke in the first Medium trot (totally my fault though) and then i got a marker wrong for a trot transition (C, B and E sound similar!!) But his 2nd Medium trot was soooo good! Pity i didnt get to see my results as i hope he got a good mark for that! And his cantering on the loose rein, he was mega good!!

im happy =]

Waitomo Sports Day

Was Excellent...
This is the only slightly showie, A&Pish event i do.

Twiggy was a right idiot in the flat work, she was trying to "defy gravity!" and leap as far off the ground as possible, i mean why canter normaly when you can leps sideways?!

I did mange to get a coule of placing though, not to sure how i mangaed that!

The jumpig was fun, although i didnt get placed because Twiggy twiggy wouldnt put onestride in the double, but she jumped well, and overall it was a fun day.

After no placings in the jumping classes so fay, i had decided to unsaddle befor the gave the results out in the final round, my mistake! i got a third, so i had to jump on Twiggy bare back with halter and lead rope and no helmet, to collect the ribbon!! =] man i looked awesome.

Twiggy the Brush

=] Yes, I ride a werido.

Me getting My placing, AFTER i unsaddled =]
