London Olympics 2012

The Olympics are here!! I love watching the Olympics, both summer and winter. The opening ceremony is on Friday, but they are having preliminary rounds now as I type. I'm currently watching the live streaming on NBC.com. The USA soccer team is playing against the France team right now. I used to play some soccer when I was younger, so I actually understand what they are talking about (unlike other sports, lol.) I looked up the Equestrian events and unfortunately the times for that are really early in the morning where I am, but I'm going to try and get up early to watch some of it. Here is the link for the equestrian schedule:

I did some ground work with Pony and Mornin earlier. They are both greenbroke, and Mornin hasn't really been ridden since before she had Glory. I'm helping to train her some for her owner. And last time I was on Pony he bucked me off. I got right back on him, but I think the new mounting block rather freaked him out. It was difficult getting him to stand next to it, and then he started bucking as soon as I was on him. So, I was trying to get him used to it this morning; he was a little tense. I think I'm going to pull his mane either tonight or tomorrow. It's getting really long! The next couple of weeks will be spent watching the Olympics, and working with the ponies! Prepare for updates!
