Barrel Racing

Barrel Racing is a competitive event in which yourself and your horse participate in. Barrel Racing is a western gaming event that where you ride your horse around 3 barrels and to the finish.

 

You want to get the fastest time against other competitors when you are barrel racing.  There are many other competitive western gaming events like- Keyhole, Speeddash, Flag Race,  Pole Bending, and many more! Barrel Racing is a Timed event where the person with the fastest time wins the race. Barrel Racing is my favorite sport because there is al lot of suspense when you are waiting for the other competitors to finish their turn of the race. I love the feeling of going fast and and it is good to communicate with your horse well! My horse knows when I need her to go fast and when I need her to do a sharp turn because she understands me. To barrel race you have to have good leg communication with your horse and gentle hand otherwise your horse will become “bit shy” and not respond to your cues with the reins. If you want to learn more about barrel racing please comment on this post and I will get back to you!

Week 6 Future Job

I have many different ideas for a future job! Some of them are- Professional Barrel Racer, Professional Horse Trainer, DNR officer, Veterinarian.

 

To reach my goal of a Professional Barrel Racer, I have to be able to communicate with my horse well, be fit so my horse would have less weight on it’s back, and have a healthy young horse that is fast and fit.

 

To reach my goal of  Professional Horse Trainer, I would have to be able to communicate with my horse well, spend a lot of time with the horses, have the right supplies, and I would have to be patient.

 

To reach my goal of DNR officer, I would have to be fit enough to chase poacher, I would have to be able to speak different languages, be able to communicate clearly, and I would have to be good with animals.

 

To reach my goal of being a Veterinarian, I would have to be able to be good with animals, be able to see blood, be able to put sick animals down, and many more.

 

There is still more stuff I would have to do to reach these goals like go to college! I hope you learned more about what I want to do when I get older!:)

Book Summary:The Princess Diaries

The Princess Diaries:Book 1

I am reading a book called “The Princess Diaries” by Meg Cabot it shows inspiration to never give up and shows that you should stick with your friends. “The Princess Diaries” is about a girl named Amelia (Mia) who is a freshman in high school. Mia lives with her mom in a an artist loft because her mom is an artist. Mia is not one of the popular girls at school along with her best friend Lily Moscovizt. Mia really likes this guy named Josh Richter because he is the most popular best looking guy in the whole high school.
One day her dad calls and says he can’t have kids anymore but Mia didn’t understand why that would be a problem because he has her. When Mia finds out she is the heir to the throne of Genovia she sees why her dad is upset- she is the princess of Genovia!! But Mia is having a horrible day after that because she didn’t even want to be the princess of Genovia! And after that her dad said that she will have to move to Genovia in a couple of weeks but Mia refuses and they come to an agreement that Mia will finish high school where she is at and then go to Genovia with her dad and Grandmere. But Mia is most upset because she thinks that a girl at school named Lana Weinberger will bully her because she is a princess and Lana is not but she thinks she is. She didn’t want to tell anyone about it. She didn’t even tell her best friend Lily! Mia’s Grandmother (Grandmere) comes to New York to teach Mia princess lessons but Mia said that she didn’t want to be a princess in the first place. So Mia’s dad offers Mia $100 a day that she goes to it. Mia said she will only do it if the money is donated to Greenpeace to help save the whales.
So when Mia goes to princess lessons Grandmere says she is to where tights and high heels and dresses to school from now and on. Mia is worried that people will make fun of her for that. When her Grandmere asks her to come again Mia tells her that she has to stay for after school math because she is failing math. So Grandmere decides that Mia can come after she is done with her math. When someone tipped off the news reporter that Mia is a princess Mia wants to change schools but her dad and her Grandmere wont let her even skip school. Mia went to Lily’s house and they got in a huge fight so Lily won’t even talk to her anymore.
So that day when Mia went to school she had to go with her dad’s body guard Lars and she had to go in a limo. When she got to the school there were tons of news reporters there waiting at the door for Mia. When she got inside and to her locker Josh Richter came up to her and smiled and talked to her for the first time. Mia was really excited after that because the most popular guy in the whole entire school talked to her!
But at lunch time her spot was taken by other girls because Lily doesn’t want anything to do with Mia. So Mia finds a different spot by a girl named Tina. Mia thought that they would have something in common because they both have body guards.Mia found out a lot from Tina that she is related to the king of Sweden. Mia and Lily are still in a fight. Mia really wants to apologize to Lily but she’s afraid that she will turn her down. Then the popular people come to Mia’s table and they invite her to a bunch of parties. And Lana was the one who invited her. Mia asked if they were drinking parties and Lana said yes. So Mia said that her mom doesn’t allow her to drinking parties and Lana bursts out laughing at Mia because she thinks that everyone should be able to drink. Josh got mad at Lana for laughing at Mia so he broke up with her. The next day Josh asked Mia to the Cultural Diversity Dance and Mia said yes.
Mia’s Grandmere got her ready for the dance by buying her a new dress and getting the right makeup on her to make her look more beautiful! At the dance Mia did not have a good time all Josh did was order drink alcohol and mess around with his friends. Then when they went to the school to go to the dance Josh kissed her right outside of the door in front of the press. Mia asked him why he did that and he said he didn’t know why! Then they started arguing about all he wanted was publicity and how he didn’t even know anything about her! Josh said that he didn’t even want publicity and that he was a gentleman and ordered her a fillet! And Mia said that she won’t eat anything that was once living. It was a huge fight! Mia ran inside to the bathroom crying and Lily and Tina ran in after her to see what happened. Mia told them that she thinks the only reason Josh asked her is to get publicity by all the news reporters.
When Mia comes out and see’s Michael Moscovitz standing by himself she goes over to him and starts talking to him. Then they start to dance and Mia finally realizes that she actually likes Michael and that he liked her the whole time. Mia found out that being a princess isn’t that bad and she just likes who she is.
I liked this book because it has a lot of action and things going on. I like who the characters are and how they acted. I think the book was a lot different from the movie because in the movie her dad dies and she finds out from her Grandmere that she is a princess.

I hope you enjoyed my summary!:)

Making a Barn Quilt

My name is Anna and my classmates and I are making a barn quilt for our school fundraiser.
*1st- We picked out our colors and the design we wanted. We chose a star-like pattern and painted the inside blue and yellow and the outside green. We started out with just a plain old piece of plywood.
*2nd- We used sandpaper and sanded the edges so we wouldn’t get splinters while we are working then we put a coat of white paint over it for a primer so that the wood wouldn’t soak up all of the expensive colorful paint.
*3rd- We painted a border of black so that the middle design would stand out more, it also looked better with the black. We used painter’s tape so we could pull it off easy without the paint coming off with it.
*4th- We painted the outside.
*5th- We painted colorful paint for the design. We had to go over it multiple times because the white still showed through the colors.
*6th and last- We let it dry. After it is died we took off the tape and we had a barn quilt!
