COMPUTERS:

<?php get the entire IHD working the way it shou/d, all by yourself without banging your head on the keyboard in the process ?>

Sigh.. If only it was that easy, but alas php is not that user friendly.
But, hey may I share a fun story with you?

Few days ago in my desperation to get someone to do the difficult parts of php for me, I found a company, they agreed to do it for a price that was within my budget! I started with the easiest problem….

Alas.. I sat with them for 2 hours while they tried to get their heads around the code.. Finally they gave up, Yea!! Gave up! Imagine my feelings then.. “Gulp, they can’t do it, and they are professionals..”

If you know me then you’ll be thinking: “but come on! This is Beau, and beau combined with challenge within her learning curve, is unbeatable!” or I hope you were thinking that .

So home I went, home= Jodhpur Rajasthan right now (more about that later) sat down at the desk and went wild.. 2 hours later, I had it fixed.

HORSES:

Thus, I’m in Rajasthan! I’ve been planning this for years! Ever since I joined Facebook, and saw the pictures of the beautiful Marwari horses there, I have dreamed to come here!

The reality is different from what I had imagined, the reality meaning the reason I am up north.
I’m up north to participate in the National Endurance Ride of India, a friend: Gaurav Joshi (world’s youngest trick rider & former National Endurance Ride Champion) is training me how to win. I’m riding one of his mares, Alaknanda.

All in all it’s exciting, feels so natural that I think I will pick this up as a full time activity, ride, breed, train, buy horses for Endurance performance.
The race is in 6 days and I am as ready as can be. Alaknanda and I have a good bond and she has come a long way from my first ride, where she kept pulling and rushing. Now she is relaxed, saving her energy, listening to me.

I feel torn about the training methods, it’s traditional English riding, bits, saddles, dressage etc. it goes against what I do at home. But then, it’s works. I feel more and more, that if you want to do natural horsemanship (or however you may want to call it) you need time, and lots of it! Ideally, you need to breed your own horse, bring it up yourself, then you’ve got a horse that will follow you everywhere, compete with you. So if you have 5 years? this is my dream!
First things first, VISA, MONEY, buy mare, breed, get foal. and so on..
Can you help? Yea!
For Visa, I’m looking to get a business visa so I can registerer my own business.
For money, you can help out by letting me design an amazing website for you, or you can donate!
For a mare, well, that really comes down to money as I’m picky about the animal’s capabilities.

Keep on dreaming! Love!

Yes its happened, my first bike accident..

Not to worry, I’m fine, so is Isa whom was riding in the backseat. She has a sprained ankle.
We were on the highway, overtaking a bus (this is a four lane highway with a grass separation between the sides)
So the bus was on the left and the road was clear, so we accelerated and started to overtake, as we are about the pass the bus, suddenly a small white cow decides to cross the road to the right, directly in front of the bus. There was no way we could have avoided the accident, we hit the cow and flew off the bike onto the grass mid section. The bike is absolutely broken, but right now that is the least of the problems.
The police have decided to mess with it and have taken the bike hostage in a way. I’m on my way with Hans to get the bike now, wish us luck with everything! We need it!

Its been a super eventful but at the same time very relaxed month here in Tiru.

Lots has happened since my last post and lots is about to happen, exciting, positive stuff!!!
Yayayayaya! Ok, before i get carried away telling you about the future, lets step back in time about 2 weeks.

……It’s November 20th ……

Isa and I are grabbing the last little things to put in our bike bags, we head down the stairs, pack up my trusted yellow machine and take a picture before we go:

You’re probably wondering: Where are we going?

Ok, ok.. I’ll fill you in..
We’re driving to Tirupur, then to Kodaikanal..

In Tirupur we went to meet Gopala to meet and look at some horses in the area. Which was an adventure in itself!
We vistited Kodai to see the only earthship in India, Earthship Karuna.

All around we did 906km, and got back good and happy, and very thoroughly shaken up from so much time on a bike.

The next week in Tiru was great fun, i made friends my age, which is something that has never happened in Tiru before..

Back to earth. Its barely been enough time to really settle down here and now in less then 48 hours we’ll be on our way again! Yes! To Rajasthan! To “guess what?” see more horses!

I’m going to be soaking up every last bit of information about everything, learn everything about endurance riding, perhaps even ride in a race? Sure looks like it if i can dedicate the time.
I’m trying my very best to find a proper education about horse care, you know, learn all the ins and outs about horses. Sure looks like the NRCE could be able to offer me this.

Well there you have it, all new ideas, exciting things to look forward to.. But to every good side is a less good side, i am always slapped in the face by my Visa situation. 3 months in not enough guys!
