  Hi All!  Recently I’ve been trying to get a new job, because my schedule has finally calmed down from when I had to quit my previous job! One thing that really frustrated me from when I got my first job was figuring out how the heck I was supposed to make a resume as a teenager! So I’m going to be sharing mine today with you, so hopefully you can see it! The formatting was strange lol. Please comment or contact me with any questions, and I can even send you the original pdf of my resume to edit yourself! Google Docs has an amazing format that I used for the base for this resume, so if you have that I highly recommend! 

 So I don’t know if any of you have seen this edit, but it’s so funny. Here’s a link to an example:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxI8Stip4SI But anyway I tried this with Dot! It was so so fun lol, I totally recommend it to anyone with a closed arena or pasture.  Here’s mine:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQH_sgHMNfg Basically, you take your horse to the far end of the area (farthest from their home/food/barn) and unhalter them, then wait for a few seconds before just BOOKING it towards home.  *make sure the area is closed off* **only do this if you have a horse that won’t injure you** It’s so so fun and I got some really cute pictures!! Hope you enjoyed my mini photo dump, lol! Totally encourage you to try this with your horse and send us the link! -Amelia 

My first review post:  https://liveliferandom0.blogspot.com/2022/02/product-review-matchy-matchy-sets.html The website I ordered from:  https://matchymatchysets.com/ Color: Mint (but looks more teal/bluish) Size: Full Size Set in Jump Cut When I ordered: February 2nd, 2022 When it arrived: February 26th, 2022 My overall experience: 4.5/5  What I received:  Saddle Pad with single twist  cord, Light  protection Tendon and Fetlock Boots, Ear Bonnet with Single Twist Cord —————————————— 1. THE SADDLE PAD   The saddle pad is super nice, high quality, and thick! It is the perfect size for Dot and I, doesn’t slip at all, had really nice high quality billet straps & girth straps, and is overall just super attractive.    I got the jump cut, and it’s the perfect thickness. I was worried it would be cheap thin cotton but it’s definitely not.    I couldn’t really capture it in a picture, but it’s even thicker than my nice Dover pad ! Might ...

 Well, at least we didn’t knock a rail.  The photo is a little dark, so in case you can’t quite see it, that is me and Dot, jumping an 18” cross-rail at over 2’9”.  🤦‍♀️ We got one day of glorious footing, and we were finally able to jump outside for the first time in months! As you can tell, Dot was thrilled.  We had already jumped this cross-rail twice at the height it was actually supposed to be, but something was different this time. 😅 I don’t THINK I asked for the extra height, and she definitely left long, but that normally just results in a long jump at the right height. You can’t really tell, but we are directly over the middle, so it’s not like we jumped the high side.. lol  My trainer is standing about 10 feet away from us and her body posture is just… wow. After we finished our course, she burst out laughing and asked how high I thought the yellow and purple was. I answered 18”, and she said not for Dot, she jumped it at 2’9”!! Well, now we know how...
