Divinity In Motion

____________

and this is the scheduler + the events person, dev + AJ

and today was rather eventful. to check on whether i could take greystone, i found blaze. i’ve been wanting to take a shot of him and here he is, in all his glory, the pony who taught me lungeing, blaze, my lion boy.

here, i must formally introduce apache, stallion with a rubber neck and an excellent canter. he’s friendly, amiable and super handsome!

and this would be amoy, pony with a belly!

also, at lunchtime in the stable, there sometimes is an occurrence of our resident sexygirl making friends/stealing food for abit of a wither scratch.. today with almino..

____________

but you see, sometimes when riding, people forget to stay calm. not entirely their fault, it’s completely understandable. but it results in something like this- this is AJ after taking a tumble off greystone.

kimberwicke bits were used to weigh the icepacks down.

and I GOT IN AJ’s PANTS! HURHURHURHURHUR!!!

gloria and her beloved romeo..

and because we just HAD to…it’s gloria, keith and AJ..

Roll It, Roll It, Roll It!

i hope gen has a good one in london! =)

_________

today was a nice morning. my first lesson on tuesday never goes spectacular, but it’s okay. jorden, sharpy, fireball and greystone started my day..and i managed a few snaps of greystone rolling after getting all sweaty in a lesson.

okay the first pic is better..

_________

and then to CGH to get my hearing aids tweaked. well, i got a bonus speech test done. and no, it didnt make me feel like i was coping. frikkety-frack.

omg, i had a terrible lunch. never trust a halal western food stall. omg. one has yet to impress me. shucks. i went back to the office and picked off briyani.

_________

in other news, im going (finally) to hong kong to check out the riding schools that offer BHS certification. im pretty psyched. nervous, but psyched. going with ‘manda her mom and ethel in january! funk!!!!

and over this couple of days, i realize im hardly the travel planner. i think i can only help people in the miscellaneous chores during their trip/tour (think s2t), not exactly PLAN it. im TERRIBLE with dates and fare calcs and math.

_________

i hope i ride charlotte tomorrow..

3 Days In a Row

___________

___________

ooh lala!

My Green Room

sunday

this is night 2 at uni’s and i must say it’s going okay. i dont think i expected it to be bad, but i think im okay with it cos of the internet access.. *evil grin*

i went home today after dinner to get some stuff: undies and such.. and i saw my GREEN room! i LOVE IT! i dont think the rest of the family’s a fan of my room..but i dont care, i dont mind it. it’s a tad bright, but i like it. now i just need my cabinets in and it’ll be GREAT!

________

work-wise, what an afternoon i had with jackson. it’s so hard to get angry with him.. i didnt spend any time with my little lion though. but lungeing jackson was abit frustrating, i couldnt get him on the right. fracketty-frack. im going to try some other ponies soon, i’ll need to get my head around mr cool. he’s quite a pleasant fellow on the lunge. stubborn AS without it though. and im too tall for him. maybe apache? but he’s a stallion, so i have my reservations. pony stallion, but still..he’s SO handsome though..

________

monday

i spent with sharon, ethel and alts.

long time coming. we caught up and im so glad we did.

and here’s with marie and the birthday girl in the center…we tried an all girly girl shot and it’s obvious im not entirely sure whats going on with that awkward smile.

marie, the cook-in buddy!

i think this is a cute shot of harris at work!

and here’s miss-im-now-21-dont-mess-with-me!

____________

in other news, work is going quite okay , somethings to get used to, like no more free-schooling, so im back to lungeing and every lunge session is a new one! im gonna try and take things more positively.

i received the membership pack from the british horse society (BHS) and im quite happy with it, there’s some useful information there!

here, AJ and i would like to present to you Troy. we took this while fitting bridles that day! hahahahaaa!!! it was easier cos he was resting, he’s a rather tall piece of horse.

____________

and the 2nd of dec was a magic day for uncle ram and aunty jennifer, they got married and the celebrations held at the raffles hotel! here are some shots in the room and at the ballroom.

of course, here’s fattles with his im-carrying-an-old-style-umbrella pose, fit for runway!

married man!!

reception table…

and here’s cher!

____________

in the matters at home, im getting a green room!! the house is currently being painted and im stayin at uni’s for these 2 nights. and when i go home, i’ll have a nice green room!! yarmyarm! pics up asap!

In A Long Time

Well well, I’ve not been here in awhile..

Work has been good, just that I’m feeling under the weather today and so I’m not going to work. Getting to know my colleagues both 2 and 4 legged has been great and I actuallly think that it’s a good experience. Sure it was 2 of Pinto’s hind legs almost in my face when I tried to catch him but it’s just one of those things.. Bob’s healing well and I hope he gets less swollen really soon. I also hope the farrier comes in to get our horses done.

The tack organization is going well. I think I can put a bridle together from scratch, it needs some working on but yeah, it’ll be okay! More bridles means less ponies and horses sharing tack and less tack-sharing means more hygiene and efficiency, making sure that their all properly fitted also works!

In other news, I think I’m on the market for a new hearing aid, the current ones have served me well but I think I need something more, I’ll be going around trying to see what’s available and we’ll see how we go!

How Much Wood

That Flirtatious Way

TUESDAY-

because mornings at work can be so much eye-candy when im free to watch anna and the 2 polo ponies she helps to take care of and work. they’re fast..urs and abby and all my readers, these are for you…the free schooling of

Fideo

Blanca Panza

they both take voice commands and know that they must keep to the track (not turn in and trample anna) and keep at the gait they’ve been told.

well, that’s the way free-schooling is supposed to go. notice the horses are not tethered or connected in any way to anna, she just carries a lunge whip for added encouragement and that’s about it. it’s just voice and body language basically.

and here’s a glimpse of what a horse-shoe and the horse shoeing process goes. here’s jamal giving rocky his well deserved, longtime coming mani-pedi! rocky looks strangely human in this pic..oh, look at him, long and lean…

and here’s a continuation…

FRIDAY-

most unfortunately, sexy girl kicked jamal so we’re not sure if more shoeing’s gonna be happening tomorrow. jackie, bob and sexy girl probably had terrible experiences with the farrier prior to this round so yeah, they were NOT behaving at all.

this is jorden..he wasnt the MOST comfy, but he was fine in the end. his hooves need much improvement though…

if anyone remembers design&tech (D&T) in school, jamal’s using a hand rasp. and yeah, to make it easy to relate to, he’s doing industrial nail-filing. oh, and all the white bits on the ground, that’s bits of hoof, well not all jorden’s but yeah part of the shodding process is like trimming fingernails.

today was pretty lame, it totally rained and rained. neither anna nor ran were around. on the other hand, i free-schooled rocky, and wow, he hasn’t been out in a week and there was SOME energy he showed me. he’s a joy to free-school. NOT voice responsive but just keeping to the outside. troy on the other hand is well, one confused boy when he’s supposed to be free-schooled. he has NO idea what’s expected of him. he just freaks out with the lunge whip and that’s it, he stops. wth. hahahaa!!! so it was not successful with troy at all. dang.

i will try again tomorrow with different horses.

I Like The Way You Do That…

today, the great off-day has been a restful one. i’ll go to the chiropractor’s later and then i’ll meet nick for dinner, some place at arab street.. i dont suppose we’ve gone for such a dinner, you know, some place nice and we ACTUALLY planned it and it’s a nice place. hahaa, we’re so shirt-berms-now-hungry-not? kinda people.. which would probably mean for the first time in a week im wearing something other than home/work clothes. HAHAHHAHAA!!!

anyways, i think my schedule for tomorrow’s pretty lame, like a H-U-G-E gap between my lessons, i might try  free-schooling or practicing lungeing.. =) or RIDE!  i hope i get to though.

i actually want this to be happening. like productively. NOT having a ‘wild horse’ at the end of my line.

i watched episode 7 of gossip girl’s season 3. and im SUCH an addict. hahhahaa!! it’s so funny how i am entertained by this mindless BS.
