Spring is in the air! And I know you didnt just want to hear that! Well the weather here is quite something. It goes from below freezing temps, which feel cold to me now, to plus 24 and muggy the next day, and then thunderstorms that roll in make a lot of noise and then go away. Then today, plus 15 and sunny!
Fred and Susan were away this weekend so it was just me and 20 some horses. I finished what I had to do today then came back home opened all the windows, made something to eat and went to sit out on the deck and suntan! And it was lovely. Then i tought maybe it was about time to check out my neighbourhood, so I went for a walk. Well the neighbourhood is not all that interesting, basically side by side houses and some single houses, then there are some town houses but everything is fairly new.
The funniest thing about people down here...apparently plus 15 weather isnt warm enough for shorts and t shirts...even though it totally is! Everyone was wearing big sweaters and jeans. You know what else...barely anyone was outside and its a saturday! I thought that was just weird.
So Freds assistant trainer quit. So its just me and him for now. And no im not training horses yet. Im still trying to master the art of reining and im getting better. Im starting to ask the horses to stop properly and it seems to be working becuase man are they ever stopping!
I love it :)
So the Topeka show is next weekend. Im very excited. This will be the first time seeing a reining show and helping out. Ill try to take lots of pictures if im not to busy, but i imagine i will be very busy!
Not to much else is really going on right now. Riding horses everyday, cleaning stalls, you know the regulars.
Oh Fred is letting me ride this mare named Grace. She has difficulty keeping her leads at the lope. Ive been riding her and Fred says ive been doiing very well, a good leaning horse for me. So that has been fun. Hes starting to let me ride more horses which must mean that im getting to become a better rider. And thats exciting!
So sorry I havent blogged in a while. Ive been busy and too tired. And also this wireless internet is kinda silly. It kicks me off whenever it wants and then doesnt let me on. I think it has a mind of its own!
Happy Spring...haha sorry
