Hey everyone! I am Kathleen, and this is a place for me to voice my thoughts on politics, culture, my life, and anything else that comes up in my crazy mind. I am a horse nut, and love my Indy very dearly. Please enjoy reading my blog! ~Kathleen http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:59:00 -0500 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:59:00 -0500 Tigger, I've missed you every second of every day since the day you left me forever. You were definately much more than just a pet. You were my best friend. I feel like I lost a large part of myself when you died. You were part of what made me the way I am. I've known you since the day I was born. I've loved you unconditionally before I even was able to fatham what love was. You cultivated in me that burning love for animals. You were there for my whole life until now, and for that I am grateful. Some would say I lost you, but lost things can always be found, and I could search the ends of the earth and never find you. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in piece, knowing that I will always love you, and I would have you back in a heart beat if I could. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/737750/ Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:59:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/737750/ life sucks http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/735662/ Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:57:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/735662/ 1.

I say that every time I post! anyways, on Sunday I took Jina to a show and we did really good! I got 2 firsts and a Reserve Champion! Ive NEVER gotten a first place before! Besides summer camp last year, but I dont count that cuz I was competing against 4 other people, and the judge was like in love with me. So I am leasing Jina for sure next year! yay! On a much sadder note, we took my cat to the vet yesterday because she wasnt doing well at all, and the vet said she probably has kidney failure or something else. I am having a very very very hard time with this because Tigger means more to me than anything in the world. I had a hard time when Missy died, but I have a feeling I will have a much harder time when Tigger dies. One thing is that Tigger was there for me through every trial ive ever had in life. I haven't ever had to live without her, and the thought of losing her is unbareable. What I really hope is that the vet will say she has a few months yet. I'm just not ready to lose her yet. I cry even as I write this, because it is so hard. I guess all I can say is that I am lucky to have had her for this long, and dont want her to die suffering.   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/732618/ Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:56:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/732618/ I miss his looks at me as I walk down to his stall I miss his licks I miss his nudges I miss his short little mane that insists on laying half on the wrong side I miss his now shaggy coat I miss his soft nose I miss his undevoted attention I miss his soft eyes I miss his playful bucks I miss how he hides behind me when there are too many cars in the parking lot because hes afraid I miss his swollen belly I miss hugging him I miss kissing him on the nose I miss how he shakes his head when I take too long I miss how he swats me with his tail when he really likes being groomed I miss how he spooks at silly little things I miss my boy I miss Indy http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/728780/ Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:20:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/728780/   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/726697/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:58:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/726697/ Well, im in Washington DC! Or rather just outside in Maryland. So anyways, im going to be posting pics of Monte all week at different places around Washington DC! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/726403/ Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:35:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/726403/ School Officially started this week! A week of mind blowing stress of gathering all the proper equipment to tackle the battle of the official start of school. Where the heck is Saint Augustines Confessions, and how in the world am I going to read over 100 pages in one afternoon? And then there is the fun of leaving on a trip the second week of school, and having to work out a schedule with your 4 teachers? The first, my litterature teacher, could care less if my name didnt appear on the online list of his students. The second, my science teacher, happened to schedule a test that must be sent without any excuses next week. Wait, I havent even read my science chapter yet! The third, my Spanish teacher, didnt give me a proper schedule of what I need to turn in when I come back. I hope I remember what I was supposed to do! And of course, my favorite, my fourth, my riding instuctor, is meeting me on my trip for lunch and church! Yes, I am leaving for Washington DC the same time Lisi is, and we are going to meet there. Now I know why the others are worth while! I honestly dont know why life cant be like the  barn. At the orientation for my Spanish class (which is through Biola star program) I got to sit and listen to at least 4 people get up on stage and cry over unimportant little things. And then I stood in a corner as ditzy girls hit on big headed boys in tight pants who were just starting to grow peach fuzz on their little chins. I entertained myself by imaging what would happen if I set up a 7 foot jump in the isle between the seats, and galloped a horse down it. I think that would be fun! When I started riding there was no orientation! If people cry, it isnt because they had an amazing experience in previous years as this organization. They are usually crying because they were launched from a moving animal onto a hard serface with a sudden halt. They limp back to their horse and get on for another try. Who cares if their butt is covered in manure? Then I look back at the ditzy girls who spend about an hour in front of the mirror every morning. How dare the dress code not allow miniskirts? Manure? Isnt that what my gardener puts on the flowers? So lets see, I can go associate with the breeding ground for teenage insecurities and stress, or I can go get on a horse, who is working with me, to build muscle, confidence, and yes, worthwile social skills. When I started riding at this barn, I was a shy, timid, socially akward kid who was afraid to say hi because it might not be cool enough. They took me in (they as in Lisi) told me to step forward, and guided me through the rougher transitions from girlhood...to teenagehood. I honestly dont care anymore if i should say Hi, Hello, Howdy, Yo, or Whats up? Because Whats up is what is the proper response to Whats Up? I think you honestly know my answer to the question of School or Horses. Horses every time. Hey, im not saying having an education is bad, in fact it is very important, but teenage socialization...not so much at the moment. Give me the barn any day! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/725345/ Wed, 9 Sep 2009 11:36:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/725345/ Yesterday - Switchfoot Flowers cut and brought inside Black cars in a single line Your family in suits and ties And you're free The ache I feel inside Is where the life has left your eyes I'm alone for our last goodbye But you're free I remember you like yesterday, yesterday I still can't believe you're gone, oh... I remember you like yesterday, yesterday And until I'm with you, I'll carry on Adrift on your ocean floor I feel weightless, numb, and sore A part of you in me is torn And you're free I woke from a dream last night I dreamt that you were by my side Reminding me I still had life In me I'll carry on Every lament is a love song Yesterday, yesterday I still can't believe you're gone So long my friend, so long http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/724682/ Mon, 7 Sep 2009 11:14:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/724682/ sorry i havent posted in forever. ive just been so busy and distracted. This summer has been quite the duzy of a summer. For all of July practically ive been working at the barn and stuff. I'm no longer showing Zack because we are so stubborn that we can never agree on anything and end up either racing to get over stuff or not getting over it. So i will hopefully be showing Tully at my last 2 shows. Then next year I will be leasing a horse. I kinda want to lease Jina, but who knows. plus i am so sick and tired of guys! i have my long list, which includes one guy being a total jerk all the time and being banned from my facebook. another guy ended up falling in love with me, and I had to tell him to back off. ergh. Why cant guys just be normal ya know? seriously. They always come with too many ideas! well, i must go, im cleaning my room and i should probably return to it. TTFN! ~KD http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/718221/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:35:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/angelhorse/718221/
