School

Hello readers,

Summer has come to an end sadly, and school is starting.  But that doesn't mean you can't spend time with your horse!

Here are some tips for how to fit horses in with homework during your day.

-Do as much homework as you can at school.
-Listen to the lesson, so you don't waste time reading the lesson over at home.
-Do homework while in the car.
-Don't get detention.
-Eat a big lunch so you can go a good 4 hours without food.
-If you have afterschool activities, pack your horse gear in your gym bag so you don't have to go by home to pick up your clothes and you can go straight to horses.
-Always have a snack with you so you don't have to pull over to 7-11 and waste precious time.
-Always have water.
-Do priorities first at the barn.  Don't let the first thing you do at the barn be filling in on gossip with your barn friends or texting about how much you hate your new teachers.
-Do things efficiently at the barn and learn how to multitask.  Example:  Rinse the bit and feed bucket at the same time.
-Have a watch.  The moon and sun are unreliable for time.
-Do your homework while waiting for your ride to pick you up from the barn.
-Shower at night, not in the morning.  It winds you down and makes your night more comfortable.  It also gives you one less thing to worry about.
-Pack your backback and lay out your clothes the night before so all you have to do is eat, brush your teeth, and hit the road.  This allows you to sleep longer.
-Try not to wear lots of makeup, as this adds around 20 extra minutes to your morning schedule that could be spent sleeping.
-Always set an alarm for when you would like to wake up.  And make the sound something really loud and annoying.

-Get at least 8 hours of sleep to be well rested for the next day.
-ALWAYS EAT BREAKFAST!!!!
