I honestly don't know what to do.
I usually don't use the blogs for more personal problems like this - but I feel confused as to what I should do now.
It's about how things are going at the moment. My birthday's in 3 days [on May 4], but it doesn't feel like it'll be too happy.
Firstly, there's the battle my parents are fighting against our local council. A nursery got approved next door to our house - but there is no way it should have been approved. We live on bore water, and it simply isn't enough to support the nursery. That's the main reason - along with dozens of other reasons - such as we live in a rural area but zoning laws state a commerical business can not be set up, an appropriate bore licence is needed etc. I would go into the details, but trust me, it'll bore the pants off you.
Anyway, council screwing up has not only ruined our lovely view, but my parents have been forced to take them to court - thus inducing legal fees. And legal fees aren't cheap. Things have been pretty tight, not too bad I suppose, but it's terrible hearing my parents sick with worry as to how we're fighting a losing battle.
Council won't budge.
And then there's general things I have to deal with. You guys might not know much about horses, but Mr Brightside (my horse, as mentioned in my username) is not my hero so much now. I've been working hard with him to stop him refusing jumps - and it worked.
And now he's started again.
I don't get home until 5:15 in the afternoons now as I have to go into town every afternoon after school because my brother finishes later. It gets dark at 6pm, so I have 45 minutes to ride and feed the horses.
Doesn't work at all.
So my horse goes without proper practice, I don't have fun anymore, and it gets harder to fit everything in. Schoolwork and horse riding are becoming increasingly difficult.
Worst of all, I don't want to worry my parents anymore - they have enough to deal with.
Now I'm back to square one - retraining my horse. He's too smart for his own good - he picks up bad habits easily.
There is no way I'm going to give up. Horses are my life, my passion, and I love Mr Brightside [Eddie, for short] with all my heart. He's my best friend at times, and my worst enemy at other times.
I just don't know what to do. I guess I'm going to have to shape up, keep working at it and not give up.
Hopefully my birthday this year will be a happy one.

Ahh, dont worry. Once daylight savings have ended, youll have another 4 hours to practice on him. Yeah, daylight savings suck, but just make the most of your weekends.
