Have revised my idea, deciding against going to anybody... I look and act like an idiot enough as it is!

Hi all!
Sitting in my Work Ed class, I had a stroke of genius! Why don't I go to my local council and talk to them about this "Drovers Disease" I have sort of realised. If anyone thinks that this is a good idea, or wants some more info if they have no idea what I am talking about, email me at emily.hewett@education.nsw.gov.au or leave a comment on my blog. I would really appreciate anyone's opinion!

Thanks, Emily

Hi all!

How do I start???...
I am a 14 year old girl living on a farm in the middle of nowhere with her parents and a couple of hundred sheep ( well actually more like a couple of thousand, but who's counting).

Anywho, I went to a performance of Burnt in Ardlethan last night and it really opened my eyes to what the drought is doing to all of us in Australia. The play was about a family struggling to keep their heads above water in the midst of the worst drought they'd seen in years. It showed how everyone was affected, not only the farmer, his wife, their 2 children, all the community.

It also highlighted something that hit home to a lot...

When i ride my horse, Jerry, I can make him go around a corner at a walk and a trot but as soon as i get him into a canter he will cut the corner and try to avoid it.
I have tried every was that has been told to me bu ti need more help by other horse owners and riders
Please help me

I will try every suggestion that has been told to me

when im riding my thoroughbred gelding, my mum will let me do anything but ive ridden him out at least 10 times by myself my mum mum insists that she leads me. I'm not experienced but im not a beginner i can stop him and make him go when i need to but........
I know shes trying to protect me but i just want her to trust me and let me ride my horse without any interference.
Any suggestions on how??????
