Saw this cutie first thing almost every morning at the start of my walk. They're so tame they don't even move off the path sometimes :/ |
My favorite section of the trails near our house. This part follows a creek down to the ocean and is always shady and peaceful, with some fair sized trees |
- Organized my tack and gear at the barn.
- Cleaned my tack and saddle pads.
B wearing all freshly cleaned gear |
- Both ponies trimmed and groomed to a shine.

Bridget is an almost coppery color right now, so shiny! |
- Paddocks are all picked and cleaned.
- A nice dinner out with G
- A nice dinner out with friends
- Built the cat an awesome fort
Actually just the box the saddle came in, plus some assorted paper to shred. |
- Read two books. Sheila Wilcox biography, and Girl With The Dancing Horse (Charlotte Dujardin). Both were OK, not great.
Friday night, I started organizing my things for Monday, and I was like "WAIT...technically the weekend has only just started!!" Pinch me, this schedule is wonderful!
My rides this past week were pretty low key. It was quite warm out, and B has had too much time off of late, so we mostly walked around the neighbourhood, with a bit of trot and canter mixed in. I couldn't resist cantering around the farmer's market grounds adjacent to the barn. That's possibly a no-no these days, but it's still technically part of the regional agricultural park, so I don't know. Prior to life as the farmer's market, it was part of the equestrian club grounds and even had a little cross country course. There are a few small logs left around the perimeter that proved too tempting for us to resist. Midge was having fun, but we kept it to just a few, I don't want to overdo it as we both are regaining fitness and her jump saddle fit is dubious.
Toodling around the neighbourhood yesterday |
Well that sounds like an awesome weekend! Your cat is so cute :D
ReplyDeleteOur cat is half feral, but we love him :D
Deletewow that sounds like a great weekend!! Good for you!! that is a lot of stuff that you did :) And the cat fort is hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteRethinking that fort already - it's behind the comfy chair in our living room and he's far too prone to hiding in there and leaping out unpredictably to 'attack' me when I'm reading.
Deleteoh man, what a great few days!!! like you got to do a bit of everything - all the good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this new schedule! So far I love it!
DeleteDamn, lady! What a GREAT weekend. I can only imagine how freaking AMAZING it felt to get so much accomplished.
ReplyDeleteAfter months of treading water, it feels super amazing to feel like I've got free time to do things!
