I got home at lunch time on Saturday and got a huge welcome from the dogs. Sammie 'yipped' for five minutes straight and Brina became my shadow. I have missed them so much. My friend Gill came over with her lovely dalmation Storm and we took the dogs to the forest for a walk. We had an ice cream on the way up from the forest and then headed to the paddock. The horses look GREAT and I actually think they were pleased to see me!!!!
We tacked the boys up and I went to lunge Tai but he was a bit lame (his feet were quite long) so he got the day off. Spyke was lunged for a few minutes and then I jumped on. He was lovely!!! Really, really lovely (even though he had 3 loose and 1 missing shoe). Gill had a wee ride too and he went beautifully for her too. I was very proud of him. That evening a few friends came over and we had takeaways. It was the perfect homecoming (except Tina was MIA LOL).
On Sunday I rode Jessie a fabulous coloured horse that is baby sitting Java. She was fabulous!!! A real ATV of the horse world. We rode for about and hour and a half in the forest. However, I need to have a chat to Martina about the saddle as my butt HURT a LOT after that ride!!! In the evening Kristina and Sarah came down to the paddock with their boys and we all rode. Spyke was STUNNING!!! He was soft and was listening and carrying himself. I think Gill should ride him more often!!
Today I have had a hair cut, had a hair colour (at a different place), bought a rug to replace the one Spyke trashed, had the boys' feet done and lunged Spyke on the flat and over a jump. Another great day!!!!
Tomorrow it's back to work.
I am so happy to be home.
