This is Most Likely my Last Post

I've had a lot of fun posting on this blog these past five months. I'm probably done now. If anything super exciting happens over the summer... or I just get bored I might post again but until then goodbye!!! It was super fun reading your comments and everything!!! Have a great summer!

Fairy Garden

This post calls for some pastel colors! Cuz fairies and why not!
Every year I make a fairy garden outside. This year's fairy garden is extra cool so I thought Hey! why not talk about it? I have lots of fairies in it. You're probably thinking: Uh duh why wouldn't you have fairies in it it's a fairy garden emphasis on fairy. But some fairy gardens don't have fairies in it. Any who I also have a fairy house that's very cute. A little gnome. A really pretty path made of orange rocks. (That was my mom's, brilliant, idea.) I have a river with various creatures in it like a duck, a turtle and a frog. There is a cute little bridge crossing over the river. I also have a little pool. The bodies of water are made out of little clear blue stone/gem things. There are also some tables and chairs plus a little gazebo. There are also various animals around. There's a cat some bears (Why are bears hanging around fairies? No idea they were just cute) some dogs, turtles frogs a duck and of course horses. I have a few just hanging around and I have some in an arena made out of some rocks that. Two fairies are riding horses and I have some jumps set up. 2 years ago I made this fairy bench out of a thick piece of bark and those flowers that you get from fake leis and I can't believe it hasn't fallen apart yet but it hasn't so I put some fairies on it. I also made some houses out of old recycled pots. Over all every thing looks pretty cute. I'm planning to get more fairy houses this year but even without them this year my mom and I have made, without a doubt, our best fairy garden ever... Until next year 😏

Luna 😍😱🐴❤️🌙

I have a new love! Ever since Levi left I have been riding Tucker in my lessons. And he's okay and all but he's just not enough horse for me if that makes sense. He was bred for western riding so he can't jump any higher than I've already gone so he's not much of a challenge. He also always has his head way down and it's super hard to pull it up. But as I said before I have found a new love: (as you probably guessed by the title) Luna. She is the best horse ever. I've only ridden her for two lessons (and one was a really long time ago) but I'm already in love with her. In the lesson that I had a long time ago I didn't really realize how amazing she was. But I guess people have been working with her a lot because now... I can't even describe how incredibly perfect she is. The second I got on her yesterday I could tell that I was in love. I tried one new horse and I don't even need to look anymore because on the first try I found the perfect one. (That was sort of a weird sentence.) I got on her without anyone needing to hold her into place like Tucker (Tucker is scared of the mounting block) which was awesome. We went over a course with poles on the ground first. We walked through it so it wasn't very exciting but that was ok because it was just a warm up to get to know the course. Then Hallie (The instructor) raised the jumps to what looked to me like 6 inches. We trotted over that and Luna was amazing. Then Hallie raised the jumps to 1 foot 6 inches (the highest I've jumped) and Luna and I went over it like it was nothing. It was the most comfortable smooth course EVER!!! And then (this is the best part) Hallie set up an oxer If you already know what an oxer is you can skip this part. You can if you want to though I don't really care.😂

An oxer is a type of horse jump with two rails that may be set even or uneven. The width between the poles may vary. It is more advanced than regular jumps that are just one rail. To jump it horses don't just have to jump high they have to jump far. 

I've never jumped an oxer before but Luna jumped it like a pro which she is because she rocks!!! (:  The oxer was 1 foot and 3 inches high and 2 feet wide. The jump felt awesome!!! It felt like we were flying. I wanted to ride a new horse and I got the best one I could've ever asked for 😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️
