What is it about the time of year when all the school supplies come out in the store? I just LOVE school supplies! Keep in mind I don’t like the school part, but give me pens, markers, paper, etc. I LOVE IT! I always seem to find something I could be doing to justify getting some new things.
So today I go into good ole Target to get Minnie some dog food and some other random things. And the first thing I see when I go into the store is the “One Spot” where they have all kinds of neat things. There always seem to be something in the little section that I think I need, and it’s only a dollar so why not! With this time of year they have some organizers, pens and note paper. Right up MY alley! So I think to myself, what silly little project I can do that I can buy some cute new things. And I think of my “Operation Skinny Bitch”. And along with that is teaching Harley showmanship, and with doing showmanship one needs to have a lot of patterns to practice. While I do have a folder at the barn with some patterns that are printed out in it, I think to myself it would be much easier if they weren’t so big and easier to carry around with me when I am practicing. All of a sudden an idea is born! I decide to get some bigger index cards and some markers and I am going to make the patterns on them. And because I am so particular about things I will have every gait, etc. color coded. Sounds like a good plan to me! So here I sit working on making out my new “showmanship cards”. With making my new system if anyone has any good showmanship patterns to share please let me know! I need all the practice I can get! And hopefully it will be cooling off a little bit so I can actually get some practice in!
On another fun note, I FINALLY got to the barn today! I haven’t been there in almost a week! How I missed my Harley! My back is still a bit sore, but felt good enough to clean my stall and play with him a little. The spoiled brat that he is he got a hose-down and a nice liniment bath. The bugs are so awful down there he appreciated it. At least I hope he did, silly spoiled boy. And don’t worry Minnie is not getting ignored while I work on my showmanship cards…. As you can see from the picture she is keeping herself occupied between flinging her zebra around and chewing on bones and bouncing around like the little Mexican jumping bean that she is.
Until next time…………….M
