The gryphon says...
The past couple weeks have been insane. I was recently hired at a local firearms store and I absolutely love the job, I work with some great people and I get to play with guns all freaking day long.
I also purchased myself a phenomenal horse. I cannot praise him nearly enough, he is everything I was looking for and more and I truly believe that once I learn to trust him we will go far. It sounds too good to be true, which it is. I had him checked by the vet today to find out he has what is called "Hunter's Bump" in other words it means that he hasn't been using his hind legs like he should while being ridden and has created an injury which for the most part is permanent. He is fine, it only means that him and I are very limited. So we will not be able to show in as advanced classes as I would like, I cannot exercise him for long periods of time, and I cannot gain too much weight (YAY! Reason to not get fat). And to add to the stress of finding a treatment plan for him I am searching for a new barn, which is unfortunate because I do love my barn but it has been made clear to me by the owner that she has issues of her own that I'd rather not be around.
And, finally: After over a year Phreddy and I decided to call it quits. I really don't want to talk about it since it is a touchy subject with me but everything in life happens for a reason and I truly wish him the best of luck with everything.
So yeah, that is all that's new with me.

I can still ride him like I normally do, but we will not be able to show at a more advanced level. I'm guessing him and I will have to cap out at about 3.5-4 foot jumps. Which is unfortunate but I kinda knew that since he isn't exactly young

at least he can still do jumps period, though :3 gotta look on the bright side!
