Sonnet's Scary Hospital Trip


So, one day I was at my friend Riley's house and I had gotten about three messages one my phone...... two were from Brooke and one was from Nedra..... Both of Brooke's messages said the same thing, "Ashley I need to talk to you its really serious something really importanat happened that I need to tell you ok bye." then Nedra's was the one that scared me the most it said, "Hi Ashley its Nedra I just wanted to let you know that Sonnet is really sick she had collic and is on her way to the hospital i'll call you if we here anything, ok thanks bye." So I freak out I call Brooke, Hannah, and Julia and we all start crying our eyes out and praing that Sonnet would live...... I was really happy that I had such great friends that surrounded me during my time of need...... especually Nedra, Brooke, Hannah, Holly, Jourdan, Mandy, and Dakota (the little dish/puppy). The next day I was so glad to hear that she was doing better and that we were all going to take a road trip to see her. When we got there the hospital was very clean and nice so we had to be on our best behavior which is sometimes a little hard for us...... we walk down the stables and we get to Sonnet.... I was so excited and happy, but I was really sad because she had to be hooked up to fluids and have a feed mask on , but that didn't stop us from taking her out and letting her graze with a mom and a foal next door.... she loved it and was so spirited. The worst part of the trip was having to leave with out her, but im so excited because shes coming back on tuesday and were going to have a welcome home party....... meanwhile we had another sick horse who is new. Her name is Perjja and she is a 25 year old arabian who had an infection , but is doing a lot better thanks to the great care of Nedra and all the others girls.... I cant wait for her and Sonnet to meet and take good care of each other....... I'd like to give a shout out to Nedra, Brooke, Julia, Hannah, Holly, Jourdan, Mandy, and Dakota, you all helped me get through this really hard time in my life and I really appreciate it. I now share a bond with all of you that is much more stronger than it was before... thak you so much........(sizzlin group)

Ok so you now how sometimes you feel really lazy and you just dont want to tack up your horse. I mean come on its such a pain to put the saddle on tighten the girth put the bridle on and get on. Well one day I decided to ride bareback. Its not that hard and i've done it before it was easy, UNTIL I found out that we were jumping three feet high, then I was a little nervous, ok i was abou to pee my pance. So we get to the ring and the jumps are set up and im up to jump. I was really nervous the first round, but then I got over it now im proud to say the only way I will jump is if im bareback on my horse Sonnet. P.S. Sonnet says hi..
