Well well well!
It is now the end of week 7 and we have one week left! I can't believe how quickly it has all gone!
Ok well this week.....
Monday we had massage in the morning, it was very cool! First we worked on a horse in the lane way and then we just went into the paddock and worked on them with no halters on! It was amazing, some may say like magic! In the afternoon headed over to the dressage barn to have a saddle fitting class. It was very interesting.
Tuesday we had massage again in the morning We did the same as Monday, worked on one horse with the halter on then went into the paddock again. We then had handling in the afternoon which was pretty cool! We had to hand in our papers before dividing into 3 groups - one out in the round pen, one doing lunging and the other doing an obstacle course. I did the obstacle course. It was so much fun! We had to get the horse to walk over a bridge, go between cones, back them into the breeze way before sitting on a barrel and backing them into a stall. We then had to get them to go through noodles and have them sidepass over a pole. All of which was done at the end of the lead rope! It was rather nifty!!!
Wednesday was Sara's Birthday! We were supposed to head up to the ranch up in the hills but the weather wasn't great so we met at the classroom, watched a video there and then went to the ranch down the road and worked on a horse there before heading into Loveland to have Chinese for lunch. We then went back to the ranch and started working on another horse but the wind picked up and we weren't sure what it was going to do so we called it a day!
Thursday we headed out to the ranch way out yonder. It was another good day. We worked on 2 horses in the morning before lunch, which was Sloppy Joe's and brownies then headed back out to work on one more. The last one I worked on, well some may say it was love at first sight! He was so beautiful! He was a pinto - palomino and white. I asked the wrangler how much and he said $2500. I would have seriously considered it if I lived here! They were also doing branding and castrating on the cattle that day which made it all the more interesting for working on the horses!
Friday we had business with Michael then headed over to the Dressage Barn to have a movement class with RaeAnn. The horses there are very nice!!! We watched them be lunged, then saw one ridden and then watched them free lunge around the arena. RaeAnne set up a jump for one of the horses to go over which was cool! That class was finished with a beer... quite a nice way to finish the school day I think! We then headed out for Margarita's (I had coke and a sip of Margarita). We then met up with some other people from class and some of our teachers for Ethiopian food. Now that was an experience! The food was interesting and the night was full of laughter!
Saturday was just a mouch around day. Went down to the pool for a bit to get some rays and not a lot else really!
Sunday the Diva's, Karen and I went for breakfast at Vern's before going white water rafting!!!! It was so much fun!!!!!! It seemed to be too short though or was it that it just went too quick? We then went back to Vern's for lunch before heading back to the apartments and hitting the hot tub to soak those muscles which I'm sure will be aching tomorrow!
Well that's the wrap for this week!
8 days until I'm back in England with Wayne! Can't wait to see you hun!
Missing you all! xxxx
