end of summer BBQ and good friends. Doesn't get much better.

so yesterday my friend Stacey and her boyfriend Jason had a 'end of summer' bbq at Birds Hill Park. Lots of people came. Stacey, my sister Tina, and I rode to the park on our horses. We rode for about 5 hours yesterday. Only one person was brave enough to ride my horse at the bbq. At times the horses acted like idiots. Tina's horse Windy threw her off after all three horses spooked at deer and went running into the bushes. I'm surprised I stayed on, being that I'm the only one that rides in an english saddle. I'm sure my turn to fall is coming soon, being that Stacey fell twice in the past week and now my sister fell yesterday. I'm just waiting for my turn to come. I still haven't fallen off Tia since I bought her, which is wierd. I've fallen off many horses, but not Tia yet. Knock on wood. I told her, “Now you’re a real horseback rider, no one is a real rider till they’ve fallen at least once”. I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve fallen in my life riding. Tina has only gone a total of 5 times with me but she does a great job holding her own and managing horses, like Windy, who are a bit more high strung and harder to handle.

I'm stressed, annoyed, frustrated, anxious, confused, angry, and more. I don't really want to write 'what about' in here. I've saved that for my private journal that I write in, not type in, at home. I just wish it'd be resolved. I need answers. I can't handle much more of this.
