Semi-Inactivity Notice ~ I'll be sort of taking a break from Scratch. Don't expect too many new projects during this time. My tack shop will stay open, though it will take me longer to complete orders. I will check on both of the HP banks every day I can. This won't be permanent, just for the next month or so. By then school starts again and hopefully I've sorted out some things and my mental health has improved. And I will keep working on my mystery auction ;) IRL Update ~ Last Friday I fell off a horse for the 3rd time. I was riding an Arabian named Kip, and we were doing a jumping course. She was doing really well, up until the last line of 2 cavalettis. On the first one, she bumped it with her hoof and something seemed to be off. When we got to the second jump, she stopped so suddenly and raced around the jump, which knocked me off the saddle so I was hanging off the side of her neck. I was not expecting her to go around it, because she usually just goes for it, no matter what. I hung on to her neck for dear life, and she didn't stop cantering. According to my dad [who was watching the whole thing] I swung underneath her neck until my head was right under her chin. Then I fell off onto the ground. My dad also said that when I curled up into a ball on the ground, her feet seemed to be tangled up with me. This continued for a few steps or so, and then she managed to go on without me. [During this whole time {from when I held on to the side of her neck up until now} I was in shock and could see nothing] When my senses came back, I heard her galloping away and saw my glasses [yes I wear glasses, I'm legally blind without them] skidding away. Kip kept running until the other end of the arena, where she stopped directly at C [the arena has dressage letters] and turned to face me, like "hey, how come you're on the ground over there?" Thankfully I was ok, and she was too. That was certainly the most exciting fall I've had yet. This weekend I get to go riding cross-country for the first time, and I can't wait!!! ~ See y'all whenever I get more active <33
