Lets see here....I think I am going to go with "Top Ten Things That Happened This Week"
1. My mommy bought me boots:D not just any boots, beval Jumping boots made of Italian leather:) They are BEAUTIFUL and have never seen the likes of a thing called horse dirt and goo:P AND they match the riding gloves that my mommy also picked up for me:) along with a set of cotton lunge lines that are awesome and dont rip my hands up:D and now I have a pair of schooling jump boots also:P
2. Jumped Zena, I have a one stride to a bounce to a one stride set up, and she doesn't like having to use her brain;P lol
3. Santiago is trusting me a lot more now:) the spooking has been minimized to a mere occasional snortiness:)
4. Had another mental breakdown...I don't remember if I even mentioned the first one, but that was a totally different story. This one was due to exhaustion, and Tim telling me that I can't push myself like that, among mentioning a few other things...simply put, I'm not invincible and need to communicate when I need help around the place to get everything done.
5. I have a phone coming!!! woot! and I bought the charger for it:P
6. Took Zena swimming (well more of wading) she has very much gotten used to the idea of going in and out of water without thinking about it.
7. Oh Karen left for galway on saturday, I have pretty much had the barn all to myself for that time, with the occasional owner stopping in to ride their horse. but for the most part I am a loner.
8. The power went out last night about half way through an episode of heros that we were all watching, so instead we played a game called liars dice by candlelight:P apparently canyon does not liek the dark very much...in fact he kinda wigged out until we got the room lit enough that you could make out who was who. lol
9. Two new horses cam in today, no one told me they were coming until yesterday when they showed up to make sure their tack locker was clean and to be able to put their stuff in it. Along with ready their stall for their horses. fun. lol one of them is on stall rest still, have not found out why yet but I am sure I will.
10. I have been working really hard to strengthen my core and seat to be able to sit beaus trot, and as of today I was able to keep everything coordinated and together for approx. 5 strides, give or take. I wasn't really counting, I was concentrating on keeping me from falling apart:)
Ok, Off to bed now, this is the earliest that I have gone to bed the whole time I have been here...that's sad. I really need to be asleep by 9 from now on. if there are any editing errors in this one, don't blame me, my contacts are bugging out, so I cant really see anything.
Keep up the good work Granddaughter!! Sleep is very important each night. I have it on good authority, it helps keep your seat in the saddle! Love & hugs.........Grandpa G.
