Morning all!
You all had me in stictches this morning! Great posts.:clap::rofl:
MR, so happy you get out this weekend! LOVE the shoes! :wink: Looks like something my DH would wear. he would say they were just broken in! LOL
Vicki, so sorry to hear about your mother. I am glad there is a good prognosis at this point. :hug:
Jay seemed better yesterday. I couldn't ride, as I had a committment, so I was limited on time, so we did some groundwork in stead. He was eager and willing and very in my pocket lately.
I pulled out my 3 Minute Training book and did various things. Much more limber. We tried backing through some poles. Thinking this would be a breaze, it came to me that it wasn't! I would walk him through the poles, and when I was about to set him up to back back through them, he would move his hind end out of the way! LOL So we started by actaully only coming through the poles half way and then back thru. It didn't take him long to figure the whole thing out.
We are still working on side jpassing over a pole.
Funny thing is....being the great trail horse that he is I figured he would know how to do it.....nope! So that was fun to work on!
A productive day shopping yesterday. It's a sad day tho when it takes me 6 different stores to find a composition book with horses on the cover. :x What happened to the day and age where most of the book and binders had puppies/kitties/horses on them? What is this world coming to?
Overall, the school supply options STINK this year! :x
Corgi, congrats on the poundage! I won't recognize you in December!
TJ, got our flights out your way for Oct. Hope it all works out! SIL found them CHEAP so had to jump on that! Fast and furious trip.
Stranger than fiction.........So here is a little scenerio that occured yesterday with my mother's DH. THose who have been around know he is not my favorite person.....So, I recently bought an Instaheater and stand to bathe the horses. He volunteered to help me put it together. (yes that is nice, but he thinks my DM and i are complete idiots and can't do anything for ourselves.) I said thanks, but i want to try it on my own. His reaction.....:icon_rolleyes:
So I went in for BUTE yesterday and he asked me how it was going. I said fine and that it had come with tools. He was :shock: I 'joked' that I thought the company must cater to rich people who don't readily keep tools handy.
His retort was....:x.most rich people would be having someone else putting it together for them. People like that are worthless. Those type of people need to die..................
Yep....Good MOrning to you too! I should have known better b/c this guy can't joke, nothing is funny to him, he is such a downer. That is a direct quote from him....I can't make this up.
I just walked away.....what do you say to that? Even if I had a retort.....it would be wasted on deaf ears and he is a waste of my energy. :icon_rolleyes: I do not know how my DM deals with him day in and day out. SIGH
Koolio, speaking of DHs, congrats on yours!! Wow! He must be good!! I too am now preferring to be a homebody now that I have horses in my life. I know it's good to travel, and I do love to.....but I also so love to be with them.
AA, congrats you sound like a real asset to your hosspital.
HOping all of you have a wonderful day.
RIDE STRONG!:gallop:
