What a week it has been! Finally the weather has decided to be nice and perfect for being outside. Most of the week was a nice 80 or so and sunny! Since I decided this was the week to get back in the swing of things with the horses I am glad the weather was on my side.
So this week I rode a total of 3 times, go me! Granted they were only about 15 minutes each time, but have to start somewhere. I rode Harley one of the times, and another horse “Sunshine” that I and working with for a lady at the barn. It felt good to be in the saddle again and I tried to just work through the pain. While my back is sore I hope if I just start riding a little longer each time it will be bearable. We will see what happens. So hopefully next year I can maybe show in some riding classes! Keep your fingers and toes crossed! Will see what happens.

Minnie enjoying the horse show! |
This week was the good ole county fair, while I haven’t gone to the fair for probably 8 years or more I decided to go up and see the sights. So Wednesday night I went up with a few friends and met up with another friend and her baby. Was so good to see some friends I haven’t seen in a while, funny how when you grow up life just gets so busy and it’s hard to find the time to get together like you used to. We enjoyed walking through the barns and seeing all the animals. Brought back many memories of my 4-H days and the camping out after the horse shows and running around. I went up on Friday night to watch the 4-H games show and ran into more old friends and their families I used to show 4-H with, so good to see everyone and funny how even though people haven’t shown at the fair for years and years they still come and watch the horse shows. Was fun to see the kids enjoying their horses and having fun. And as always it wouldn’t be the county fair if someone didn’t get hurt/fall off/horse get loose. Luckily both incidents that happened that night were nothing to serious. One girl when coming back from one of the events the horse turned very quickly before the gate and caught her off balance and she slammed into the railroad tie that was the rail, and thank goodness she had a helmet on, she wacked her head so hard it broke the helmet! A little later on someone was running back home and her horse didn’t stop or turn at the gate and the person holding the gate didn’t step away in time and the gate pushed open and slammed her in the head. She is ok, just had 10 stitches or so in her head. Just wouldn’t be the fair without some accidents. Thank goodness nothing to serious, but scary all the same. I went up again today to watch the open show they had with just games, most of the kids from the barn where I board at were showing so took Minnie and we went to show our support! It again was a great day to sit and watch a show.
