but it's to be expected.

i've been riding oliver a lot. thank god he isn't lame. im sure my horsey-friends will agree that without any kind of horse interaction it would make mac's going a lot harder. im grateful i still have that buckskin loser of a horse, heh.

the weird thing is that, before i could talk about mac with people and stuff but today i heard one of my good friends talking on the phone to someone about "the quarter horse that died" and it totally just tore me up inside. i know she didn't mean any harm, but its starting to bother me to look at his pictures and stuff now. but it doesn't make me like, full out cry. it just makes me miss the "good old days."

i love him too much to NOT look at the pictures, lol. <3 I love my big, old, cranky, creaky boned QH <3

i apologize to the people who i had hurt through my reckless post. i was having a hard day, as can be imagined, and was just pretty much pissed off. things are easier to write over the internet when you just tap in the keys, and i would NEVER have said any of that to any of you guys in person. for that, i am sorry.

im trying to get together and post some pictures of mac stock. you are welcome to use them, just dont abuse my rules please.

love you all, and i mean it.

p.s. i have a KILLER cold. and 4-h testing next week. im deciding whether or not it's worth it to do this year...

i thought that there were some people on here i could count on, as i was there for THEM when their pets died or when they needed a kind word. NO ONE has even glanced at my page to offer any kind of support.

screw you all.

While away on vacation, Zephie was put down due to age and leg problems. I knew about it, so it wasn't really shocking. I miss her though.

During the end of August, my best friend, Mac, passed away after struggling with colic and his stomach ruptured. I was told the news this morning by my best human friends. They didn't tell me while I was away, and I can see why. The news hasn't hit yet, but it will.

And at last, but not least, one of my friend's horses was tragically involved in a accident and passed away in September. His name was Czar.

Let your wings carry you to heaven, my friends.

just a little background information on "paris" and some of the other new horses i've taken stock photos of (montanna, ebony, fire, lightning, taz, kit, pal, and a few more). they live at a barn thats approx. 45-1hr away from where i live therefore i don't get to see them much since the horses i mainly ride live at their houses which are 5-10 min away from my house. however, whenever one of the good trainers comes up for a week camp, my friend and i usually take the horses we ride out to that barn and ride.

so i suppose what i'm trying to say is i'll get more pics of paris, but they won't be for a little while. the clinic just finished about several days ago and the next one will be in the fall. it's a seasonal thing, but if i do randomly go out there to visit, i'll definetely take pictures!

so, i'll end this note with:

who do YOU want to see more stock of?

p.s. thanks to everyone who fav'ed my work!!

update::

thats all im uploading for TONIGHT. trust me, i have like, at least 50 more pictures of stock and about 10 or less of photography.

also, my 2,000 page views is coming up!!!

apologies.

So my coach and I have talked it over and I'll probably be (80%) riding her horse, Amethyst. I
I don't believe I've ever formally introduced Am, so I'll give you the stats:

Name: Tabrook's Amethyst
Stall Name: Amethyst
Gender: Mare
Breed: Anglo Arab (if you don't know: it's a TB X Arab)
Age: 17 or 18, I'm not sure.
Color: Bay Blue Roan
Loves: Jumping!!

I've ridden Amethyst before, at our local 4-H show last year and I fell off of her and the next course was a complete disaster. I'm ready to get over my fears of jumping, and my coach needs someone to exercise Am anyways so I'm the lucky candidate! I'm pretty excited, considering there is a big clinic coming up and I'm wanting to jump, so I'll actually have time to practice riding Am before the big day comes.

I believe my lessons are starting next week, so I'm reallly happy.

Our disaster from the 4-H show last year that the
photographer "just so happened to catch."
Rotten luck.
(I was to the immediate left of the crazy mare)


Also, another foal was born yesterday, at the barn that I usually go to for clinics. It's a little colt they named Nitro. Nitro's sire is the same as the little filly's I posted about earlier. His mother's name is Evee. Evee is a Arab and the sire was a Sporthorse. The foal has a floppy ear, so he's super cute! The other foal is a chestnut filly. She's adorable!!!

i tried to make it different.

i asked a friend what he thought it was and he said, "a horse doing a pole?"
and i said, "thanks. its supposed to be a horse playing guitar."

so instead of a nice country horse, i have a prostitue horse.

AVATAR FAIL.

lets just say i miss lacey even more now.


but me and my daddy talked and i might have a horse to lease for 8 weeks before we vacation to portugal for a couple months. there is this lady that works at the barn about 45 min from here and she has a horse that's about 17 that she wants to retire 'cause he's been worked hard all his life. there is nothing physically wrong with him, but a lot of people use him 'cause he's so good

so i was thinking about asking her if i could lease him where i live for 8 weeks to give him a break 'cause i dont jump 3'3" like the people at the barn anyways.

but i dunno.

Just because Lacey leaves doesn't mean that riding is over for me. Sure my pride and riding self-esteem will be slightly lower, but that doesn't have to mean that I can't find a horse that I enjoy riding as much as Lacey... or better.

My coach lives by "there are bigger and better things out there", and I'm starting to think it's true. Maybe this is how it was meant to be. Sure, I'll come home bawling my eyes out for Lacey but so long as she's kept happy and healthy, that'll be enough for me.

When I went to say goodbye to her, she was still pretty jumpy and not herself. I brushed her, talked to her and took her out for a walk. We went to the river and I let her splash in the water for a bit. I ran into a friend of mine riding and we talked about Lacey leaving for a good half an hour. After talking to her (Nicole) I realized that while Lacey was leaving, I still was alive and breathing. Her leaving wouldn't make me die or have utter pain in my life. It'll hurt for a while, but as they say "all wounds heal." It just may take a while.


I was mad for a while. Not at Lacey, at myself. I felt like a stupid, utter crap rider. Then, my anger moved onto Lacey. How dare she break my heart and how dare she act like a crap horse. I even told her that. I said, "You broke my heart, you know that right?" And she just flicked her ear to me then looked away. My anger shifted once more. I began to think that Lacey's previous owner didn't deserve her back, but I was jealous and consumed with rage.

I did calm down once we headed back. I was dreading putting her away in her paddock. I even hung around for literally fifteen minutes just watching her eat. All the other horses were like, "Uhhh, what are YOU doing?" And after a while, I got up, gave her a kiss and told her to be good for her previous owner.

My friends who have let me ride her have decided that her previous owners have screwed her up too much. She's too dangerous to ride right now for me. I can't stop crying.

I'm going to miss her so much.

Even though she scared the fuck out of me.

She just won't settle down and I can't fall off a horse again because of my legs.


She leaves tomorrow.
Saying goodbye to her is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Why?

Because I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.

i had to switch horses with one of my friends 'cause her horse was being stupid. i was riding bumper, a Rocky Mountain horse and I switched for DJ a black Tennessee walker horse. DJ decided that when i told him to move off my leg, he'd back up really really fast into ditches. it was kinda scary. cause our ditches are really steep.

so then on the trail he backed up into the trees, got his foot stuck and started to rear. >_< -head desk-

after that, about 20 min later i swtiched horses with another friend 'cause DJ was being a douche. so i rode resident 'crazy' horse, geronimo - 'cept he was the only good horse, hahaha.

another girl rode lacey (her mom owns lacey right now) and lacey was such a brat for her too. since the other girl has ridden longer than me and can ride like, 1000000x better, i told her i'll stop riding lacey for a bit so she can get everything under control. so i'll give it a week or two and just let her keep lacey all good for me. im gonna be riding a different horse now. he's a percheron/paint X gelding named Cheyenne so I'll take a bunch of pictures. his hooves are huuuge! he lives with cobra, the horse my friend rides.

so im kinda bummed that i dont getta ride lacey but on the flip side, i'm glad because with her spins and bucks and rears, i wouldn't of been able to stay on, much less discipline her.

Problems include:

a] I cannot subscribe people - I'm not allowed
b] I suck at making manips so it wouldn't really be a reward.
c] I have problems with making pictures, etc.

So, what is my contest idea, you ask? Well, I've been thinking about doing a "Houston Contest". Of course, I'll get the OK from =gallopracer before I commit to anything.

So, is anyone willing to host this contest or give prizes? It'd be a really big help.

I'm thinking that there should only be 1 prize for each category - or else it'll be too much.

The category's will be kinda like: Drawings, Manips, Paintings, Digital, etc.
And the theme will be "Heaven" or something.

Whatcha think?

truly, i could never imagine losing ty, lacey or any of the other special animals in my life. the heartache is too much to bear.

if you don't know who houston is, you better get your ass onto knowing him!

he is this cute motherrffff:

no falls, other than falling off oliver on thursday due to him being a jerk and bucking and me not being settled in the saddle properly.

my shin splints are coming out again, from all the riding, so i don't think i'll be going tomorrow....

on another note, i'm seriously pooped. i'm off to bed now!

i'm interested in doing trades and collabs. however, i don't want to have five million offers either (i doubt that anyhow, lol). one person at a time. =]

let me know!

]]> ~tysmommy http://tysmommy.deviantart.com/journal/24462943/ http://tysmommy.deviantart.com/journal/24462943/ Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:08:54 PDT ☻ At the end, post the icons of eight people you wish to tag. ☻
☻ Go to each person's page and tell them they've been tagged. ☻
NO TAG-BACKS.

o1. I love my dog more than I think I could ever love a human - sad, I know.
o2. I don't show emotions easily, and when I do, it's fierce.
o3. I really don't like many of my manips.
o4. I wish there was a guy out there who truly understood me and loved me.
o5. I am starting to actually like Lacey now, she's fun to ride and be around.
o6. I feel guilty and responsible for bad things easily, even if it isn't my fault.
o7. I lie to my parents and friends a lot, but never on the internet.
o8. I get mad easily and I get irritated.


I tag:


In other news, today my best friend (guy) tried to kiss me. He apparently is annoyed with his girlfriend and wants to get back at her (she cheated on him). I was flabbergasted at him, because I said no and he said, "Don't take it personal." Uhm, Excuse me? I told him I'm not going to be used as a pawn to piss his girlfriend off. And he says, "Ya, but what better way to make her mad when she hates you so much." (his g/f and I have had an on and off hate relationship.) I'm kinda nervous to go to my next block at school, cause he's in that class and it's gonna be awkward... for me at least.

i just got off the phone with my sister who's 1000 miles away. listening to her bawl her eyes out. i haven't showed any emotion yet. my dad is very listless and quiet. his headaches are getting worse. my mom hasn't had dry eyes for a while now. my brother is my only backbone.

i went to the neighbors house with my mom today (not the one who passed away, the ones on the other side) to tell them the news. to be honest, i have never, EVER seen a grown man cry. it tore at my heart to watch it. i think i haven't shown any emotion yet because it doesn't feel real. everything is so surreal right now.

i want to just go riding. riding helps me think of nothing but the horse beneath me.

so this means: no running
no jumping
no jumping HORSES
no riding bareback
no post trotting
no jogging
no long walks
no dismounting from horses without stairs beneath me

and i have a clinic at the end of may. and i told my mom that if my legs arent healed by the time we have a clinic, i'll be effing up my legs even more because HORSE-BACK-RIDING IS MOAR IMPORTANT MUHAHHAHA.

so i go next week for molding on my feet so i can get fitted for proper shoes and then i go for a bone density test, i've already had x-rays though.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
on top of that i went for a "massage" yesterday and i swear the masseuse was trying to kill me!!!! >_< EEEEE!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

anddd i'd like to give a big BIG thank you to for using my rolling stock. I appreciate her usage and i thank her for sticking by me through thick and thin. I'd also like to give a BIG BIG thank you to for featuring my manip called ~serenity - it means a lot that people feature my work and like it.

i got x-rays yesterday and he said if he cant see anything in them, i'll have to go for a CAT scan and/or bone density test. he said that if after all the tests and corrective shoes, if the fused joint bothers me, he'll do surgery. i'm pretty bummed because this means: no running, jumping, dancing, jumping horses, post trotting, jumping down from horses, lifting weights while standing, yoga, gym class and even more are all NOT allowed. he told me basically i was allowed to just ride western and be a big fat ass - note that i do not mean western riders ARE fat asses, i mean i will only be allowed to ride western AND on top of that, i will become a big, fat ass because i can barely even go out and be active. on top of that, i hate the swimming pool and that was what he suggested.

ANDDDDDDDDD on top of that, our "family" neighbor has cancer and now it's attacking his liver. he is terminal, which, for those of you do not know, he WILL die - it's just a matter of when. my mom and dad are pretty upset and i dont think it's hit me just yet. i keep saying, "well, he's NOT dead, so I don't understand why your freaking out. everyday that he's here is another day." my neighbor's wife doesn't hold much hope either now. i just don't think of my neighbor dying though.... i mean, a while ago my 4-h leader and riding instructor had cancer and she is alive and well now - hair is growing back and everything.

it's just so goddamn unfair.

i dont mean to sound rude and nasty, but its actually really depressing (as emo as that sounds) when you have a bajillion stock images, some of them you really DO love and no one takes them out to try. is it that my rules are too much to ask? because i really think that with all the stealing of images and whatnot, it shouldn't be to difficult to put my name on the picture somewhere, even faded, and put my icon in the artist's comments... mind you, if someone ASKED to NOT put my name on the picture i'd probably say it's ok, as long as it's not being used off DA for anything.

but i just keep coming back to my stock. i LOVE my rolling stock - as egotistical as that sounds - i really do. and i love my lacey stock where her ears are pinned back. and i uberly love my giraffe stock. so why isn't anyone using it?

do i have an utterly crap camera? while i do realize i dont have a bajillion dollars for a remotely professional camera, i have to settle for my samsung LG100, which in my humble opinion, seems to get the job done regardless. i happen to think that my pictures, while some are a bit fuzzy or are off, happen to come out quite decent - especially for a manipulation.

is it because i have too small of images? I really do try my darnedest to get my images the biggest they can be.

do i not have a large quantity of pictures? i'll admit, i don't, but the season is coming along nicely and i've been getting more and more nicer captures.


im not sure where this arrogant type of feelings is coming from, but it's there. im really sorry to those who have been such great supporters, but i just feel the need express what i've been feeling. i guess you could say im insecure about the whole thing about having my pictures up. i do take great pride in my stock and i really love the pictures i put up.

i dunno. just someone, use my stock.

Annie had to be put down. My instructor didn't tell me - for reasons I'm not sure of. I found out through other girls who rode Annie. It took a couple days to get used to the idea, but it'll take some more once I go down to my instructor's house to see her horses.

R.I.P, Annie. [link]

In other news, I rode Oliver yesterday ([link]) I'm getting a bit worried about him. He's overly obese and it's not healthy. He tried to throw me off in the middle of the road (we were trail riding) when I asked him to trot. But I made his sorry little ass trot all the way home, lol. He was drenched but he didn't try to throw me again.

I am looking for someone who is willing to feature some people I think deserve to be featured. There are many stock images I have found that are simply breath taking and barely anyone has used them! I have also found photography and digital drawings, and even photomanips that I think are amazing.

If you respond saying you'll feature, I'll send you a note with the link to the people's pictures. Please verify whether or not you want: stock images, drawings, photography or manips because there are tons of images!

Thanks!

Ok, so there is a dent in the truck, right... WRONG.

My brother's friend came over tonight to hang out with my bro (obviously) and he works by re-building and revamping cars, trucks, go-carts, etc. Any who, this friend came over and my brother told him what happened. My bro's friend just says, "Oh, get me a plunger and a squirt bottle." Me and my brother look at him like, "WTF?" But my brother gave him a toilet plunger and a squirt bottle and I cannot stop giggling to myself.

Tada.

The dent is gone.

Barely a trace is it left.

There is a little bit of a dent/ridge left but it's barely noticeable. You have to stand behind the truck and be LOOKING for the dent, otherwise you won't see it. I was pretty impressed, so I guess I owe my bro's friend a 24 pack, lol.

I'm pretty happy now.

My 4-H leader was pretty pissed off.

They kept giving out awards to people who broke the rules and shit.

Anywho, whatever.

Flying down on the plane wasn't as scary as I anticipated! It was actually quite amusing. We were going to land and then the plane hit a bunch of birds so we had to go back up in the air, circle around and land again. Everyone on the plane was freaking because of that story on the news where a jet engine plane crashed because birds got sucked into the propellors or something? I had no clue and was quietly giggling to myself the entire time, lol.

And guess what? The very FIRST dress I tried on ended up being the one. I'll get some pictures up soon. It's yellow and looks like Belle's dress from that Disney movie called Beauty and the Beast.

Anywho, the plane ride home was interesting. We hit tons of turbulence and the captian said he may have to go to the next landing strip (3 hours away from home). I nearly shat myself. Buttt, we landed anyhow. I was quite thankful to be on sacred ground once more.

Well now, I'm just waiting for my ride to come pick me up for 4-H Regional Public Speaking. Yay me.

Anywho, whilst I was looking for my email I saw a "BB has sent you a e-mail on facebook..." to my mom. I instantly clicked on it, unable to help myself.

You ever wish that sometimes you DIDN'T read things?

Basically, the letter was addressed to my mom telling her how she was an awful parent and all of it was her fault. She told my mom to stop being a bum and making my dad pay for everything. It was an extremly childish, yet gut-wrenching e-mail. BB also addressed myself and my brother, laying personal attacks on us. She said she couldn't wait until I get my face smashed into a curb by someone because I don't know how to curb my tongue. I beg to differ. She also said she was angry with my parents because they renewed their vows at the church for their anniversary and they didn't tell my sister about it. BB said that she was done with our family and doesn't need us because all we do is complain. I won't go into furthur detail but I will give two facts:

1. I don't throw up easily
2. I wanted to throw up


I informed my brohter of the letter and he deleted the emails from my mom's email and from her facebook (don't ask how he knew her password, lol). But we both decided it'd be better if my mom never saw the message.

We both agree that my sister is in need of some major help because only someone with major issues could ever write something like that and still get a good night's sleep. People say I'm mean but I would NEVER dream of doing that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We both figure that BB will get over it, but I know that I won't be able to look at her the same ever again.

Even if she doesn't know that I read and re-read the letter to one of my closest friends and bawled on the phone.

Even if she doesn't realize that my brother and I deleted it and stored it away in cyberspace.

Even if she comes crawling back and is nice again, I'll never forget it.



I wish I never saw that letter.




In other news, I'm going to meet up with my parents. I fly out tomorrow morning and come back Friday night. My mom and dad both decided to surprise me and fly me up to look for a grad dress, so I'll keep you posted. I'm already nervous to fly on my ownie!

And plus, I have 4-H Regional Public Speaking.

Bring on the nerves.

However, this one has nothing to do with furry animals, so relax.

It's family problems. They have been escalating for months and the tension is so high it seems as though our house is constantly on the verge of collapsing. The sad part is that the fighting isn't even going on within the same house-hold - well, most of the time it isn't.

It's difficult for me to even get my point across because my sister, who lives in Alberta, cannot even compose an 'adult sentence' without screaming in rage or calling Daddy to tell him how I was rude. You'd think that the seventeen year old writing this blog would be the one calling Daddy when times get rough. But no, I complain and cry and laugh with my brother. My mom is too unstable (for lack of a better word) to even have a steady conversation with so we just mostly joke about the entire situation. My dad, well, four years ago he had a brain aneurysm and ever since he has never been the same. He currently had to take a flight with my mom to go off to see a special doctor and the doctor asked that for the tests, he stopped taking his meds. Well, my dad's meds are his safety blanket and without them, it's hard to even function.

So, here we go.

To understand this mess, you must first understand that my sister who we'll call BB had a sour relationship and we much like her ex-boyfriend. She sued him for the vehicle they bought together and has since then attempted to make my Dad co-sign a loan. Unfortunately my family has NO money to give her!! So, my sister got pissy at my dad and went off to my grandma who paid for the entire new truck. It was a tense situation because my sister hadn't spoken to my grandma in almost a year because they had an outing. Anywho...

I was sitting upstairs doing a lineart when my cousin who I'll call AA came in to collect some clothing articles to ship to BB, my sister. AA is really close with BB and I think their minions for eachother or something. So AA decides to tell me that "You shouldn't be influenced by your mother and hate your sister. That's really sad." AA has room to talk, let me tell you! Of course, I should have just shut my yap and kept coloring but no. I told her I was angry with my sister for my own reasons - which is true. AA just laughed and told me that my mom is a liar and I shouldn't believe anything she says. I can't remember now exactly how th erest of the conversation went but I WAS calm and collected, which is really unlike me these days... and I told her, "Look, AA, i don't even know why I'm having this conversation with you." Because it's true, it's none of her buisness. Then, AA leaves my house without a goodbye, shuts the door and before you know it....

She calls BB, my sister. I'm assuming AA fed her a bullshit special story and BB was so pissed off she called my parents who are out of town to do some tests on my dad (he's off his meds). She freaked on my Dad who then left my mom behind at the grocery store because he had to calm her down over the phone. My mom called me upset and asked what I did. Of course, I explained but I feel terrible.

I should have just kept my mouth shut.

Oh, and did I mention today is my parent's 30th anniversary?
