Today was my day off, but... I had a doctors appointment in Athens this morning. Then I didn't really plan ahead and stopped at the grocery store, gas station, and chiropractor on my way home. Then I had Dr. Febles coming to do teeth that afternoon. I got home and had maybe just enough time to ride a horse... but not quite. So I changed and caught Funny.. and then got a text from them that they would be there in about 30 minutes. Doh. Never mind. Well, I could hop on Dan bareback and get his 10 minutes of trotting in at least. So I grabbed his bridle and caught him and hopped on. No bareback pad even.
He was great and bless him.. we didn't really warm up.. we just got to trotting. We trotted in the pasture and worked on hills. He doesn't want to bend right but we got some good soft moments. Then I knew I was cutting it close on time and wanted them to be ready so I hopped off and brought them all in. And then, they were another 30 minutes on top of that. Doh! Oh well. I got a few little things done while I waited. But then I realized that Dan didn't need his teeth done, so he didn't even have to get sedated. It was just Funny. So I could have ridden him after. Oh well. It was nice to just chill after they were all done.
We got a pretty sunset too! Although before I fed I tried to fix the water trough. I had put on shorts because I was hoping to get some sun on my pasty white legs. And they were short shorts! I was up trying to fix the trough and then fill in the dirt and saw a dog in the arena. It was a pyrenees. Funny got spooked adn then the horses were all of full alert! Then the owners showed up looking for her and I was so embarassed in my booty shorts with my pasty white legs. Whoops! Oh well, Luckily they got the dog. I hope they found the puppy that snuck out with the big dog too! But I got some pretty photos of them being on alert and then the sunset after I fed.
