so

[Mɑːi]

I'm guessing we all changed a lot so here's an introduction thread to tell each other!
my name is still emily, I'm 15 now. I ride horses and still own Petri and we're getting ready for HITS Ocala right now!! I joined a junior
police group called Explorers and it's a lot of fun. I can do ride alongs, and have learned handcuffing, domestic violence things, how to do a traffic stop and more. I'm a bad police person though, because I get drunk a lot and do illegal things often lmao. ummmm I'm really a mix of my two girls actually, I'm either a bitch or a hippie. I'm more Buddhist than anything, to be honest.
alright y'all go

[*Bridgit*]

I'm still Bridgit or Brea or whatever the heck you wanna call me. I'm 15. I'm done with riding basically. I take occasional trail rides with friends but I don't compete or take serious lessons anymore. I do a lot of volleyball though- im on two private leagues and then also my school's seasonal team. I get a driving permit in march, I'm so excited! that's it haha so if you have any questions just ask lol

[Tori]

ummm... I'm still pretty much the same. Except now I'm 17 and a junior in high school. I go to a tech school and take health occupations so by the end of this year I'll get my CNA and be able to get a job at a nursing home or what ever. I'm still as weird and random as ever. I still strive for all As and I'm still awkwardly shy. That's basically me in a nut shell

Hey y'all! I guess I changed a lot... I am 16 now and am a junior (almost done!!) in really hard classes (I was dumb and have been told so by my teachers to do this to myself) but I really like my new school. Oh yeah I used to live on a ranch in CA but surprise in June while Junior (my horsie) and I were at Spruce Meadows (a whole other adventure!) my dad told me we were moving to Colorado in August. So we packed the house in about a month and worked around my dad and stepmom's wedding and somehow made it to Colorado from CA in two days with a horse and two puppies! I have my license now (since like four days before we moved...) but with all this snow we got today I won't be using it soon. I babysit (well I do it for one family multiple times a week so I guess that's nannying?) and I work at the barn riding extras (PONIES!) and helping out. I hope you guys are doing well!

[Carolyn]

Hello, Carolyn here! I'm now 15 and a sophomore in high school and wow after going to high school I had a huge eye opener about who I really am and what I want to be and it's been great ever since. I'm in a lot of junior/senior classes because my school system is 100% stupid and only offers AP classes to seniors (maybe juniors, I'm not really sure) so there's that. I'm in a huge group of friends now (I have too many friends now compared to my like 3 in middle school) that are basically your typical nerdy/punk/smart kids. My family is really screwed up now, haha (if any of you remember my brother's girlfriend, Julie, who lived with us - they're engaged and have a dog & apartment together now [at least they're doing it right]) but I guess that's okay.
All of/most of you knew of my horse, Missy (the sorrel QH I made my main charrie's horse most of the time). At the beginning of 2013 she started having a lot of medical problems and eventually lost a drastic amount of weight (her body score was about a 2). We tried literally everything we could (her diet was crazy) for nearly two months before I realized that it was physically impossible for her to get better. We think that since she was malnourished when she was so young (she had been neglected since she was a yearling until she was two) that something had not developed correctly. So on May 26th, 2013 we put her down. I still miss her like crazy but to be completely honest she was in so much pain that I wouldn't wish her to be back in the shape she was in. She's in a much better place now.
Okay what else... well in August I started riding at my first barn and I've been working off lessons once a week there and they have such a good atmosphere there. I love the place. However, this week I'll be having my last lesson there... it's a little over an hour away and my mom gets really tired driving me there and back. So my dad gave me the option of continuing lessons or getting a horse. Guess what I chose. XD
Which brings me to this... a week from today I'm going to be picking up a horse that I'll be buying with my own money. She's a nine year old grade paint mare rescue horse. Last February she went in for two months of training and she just has so much potential for what I would like to do with her (ranch horse events but mainly ranch sorting). I'll be registering her PtHA and we'll be showing that next year. I'm also going to be showing my sister's friend's ranch horse and all around QH at shows this summer. This year is a year of opportunities for me.
I'm really excited to get back into RPing with everyone again, haha. I used to just with one of my other friends but it gets boring with just one person. XD

Wow sorry for the super long paragraphs. I like explaining too many things ugh. If you don't wanna read it just know I'm 15, my name is Carolyn, and we had to put Missy down last May but I'm getting a horse next weekend.
