The Z.A.M.S. Club

SOWWEE for not coming on for a while! I was busy the last few days! Well, the last two days or so...umm, Friday! I went to see Evaire! She got all 4 feet shod. The farrier said she has some minor laminitis and white line disease in her hooves, but will clear up fine. SO, we have to treat the white line disease! Then I rode her. She was MUCH more hyper! We're thinking she hasn't been ridden much since the racetrack. OH BOY! She doesn't pick up her right lead well, and has one spot in the ring where she goes much faster...like it's the homestretch, lol So, for those reasons, I am probably not showing her yet. I will be showing Pocahontas though! So anyway, after riding her, I helped Coby with Brogan, a 2yo Paint/Saddlebred gelding there for training. He is...interesting, but he did great! She rode him, I led him, then we were expecting an explosion when I let go of him, but he was amazing! He learns fast, but he'll probably forget, haha THENNNN, after doing some other stuff, Coby had me ride Jack, her naughty little Morgan/Haflinger gelding (kinda, they forgot...parts when they were gelding him, and he was a stud up until 3 years ago, haha). He was very good! I love riding him, he's VERY smooth! But he'll randomly stop to see if you're paying attention, lol Then I took him on a little trail ride...it went well until we came across...a small yappy dog. It was growling at us, and I just figured he'd run off if we came towards him. NOPE! He came running after us, and starting biting Jack's legs! Jack was like, "What the poop?", and then some old guy comes waddling out. "MILLER! MILLER, GET OVER HERE! MILLER!". He says to me, "If you can just hold still for a minute I can get him!". Buddy....your dog is up my horse's butt, and you want me to stand still? Meanwhile, the dog is still growling, and chewing on poor Jack. So what does the old guy do? Starts smacking and chasing the dog with his cane! lol, weird.......so on the way back, passing the house again, I got off Jack. The dog was still out! So many questions......haha So I took the dressage whip, and was waving it around making that funny whippy noise. The dog stayed back, but when I would turn around to keep going, he would chase us again, growling. So, I thought to myself, "Self...", and then I started growling at him. lol, don't ask me why....but it worked! So yeah, then I got back, did other stuff, then did other stuff. haha Thennnn, Saturday! My mom and I went on a trail ride! I rode Pocahontas, she rode Quincy. Quincy really needs to start working out, he's so flabby, lol But that was good. Then I talked to Chu- Chi on the phone (again, I had talked to him for a while before. That's when the ice cream truck came...). Turns out, Bubbles ate a bad hot dog....don't ask about the consequences..........we also realized how punny poopsicles and batteries really are. So, the conclusion is, that if we had seen a hobo, it would have been much easier.
