Trust and Obey

I had an awesome time riding with HM Sunday. I learned what a dropped shoulder looks like and feels like. I also got to practice a little bit more jumping with Olly. Aleythia almost fell off of Tea when she jumped. It was kinda funny.
I love riding HM's horses. It gives me a little more experience with horses that have training in dressage and jumping. I get to learn how to do things on a horse that knows how to do it for a change.
When I was jumping Olly he would cut in over the jump and we worked on that. I didn't get it perfect, but I got it better. I also worked on going over the cavaleties. HM says you don't want to do the cavaleties too many times because they're like push-ups for horses. We did four each direction. And a little more because Olly was taking an extra step.

We went to the horses' today. It was windy. Way too WINDY. We walked to there and it wasn't too bad until we got to the lake. Then it was awful. Basically we went to the barn said hello, and left for the house. Very exciting day.

I am sad though. My youth pastor and his family is leaving our church in March. That means we loose a good part of our youth group. He has two sons that go to our youth group. And that also leaves one guy with a bunch of girls that know nothing about sports. Poor dude.
It makes me really sad. They've been at our church for five years. But I suppose that's the way the ministry works. God calls you to go somewhere and you go. It may be hard, but you go and trust that He will provide.
