I've been looking forward to taking a spin on a gaited horse. It sounds like a lot of fun! :-)

Sorry to jump in the middle of things, I know that I've been scare lately. Things have been crazy juggling interviews. My Friday interview got moved to Wednesday and I have a Tuesday interview as well. The Friday-turned-Wednesday interviewer wants me to call her to get more information (??) and I tried to do that this morning, but got her voicemail.

I think that in spite of it all, I'm probably going to come up for the get together, probably Friday to Monday. I'm going to sit on it a little bit tho. The more I think about it, the more resolved I get however.

I went and looked at a horse property with my trainer yesterday, a small one on 5 acres that had a 12 stall barn made out of one of those SPACE buildings, and an indoor made out of the same thing. They advertised it as a boarding facility, but the tack room was teeny tiny and they had no bathroom in the barn! They had an outdoor area that was only large enough as a beginner ring. It was not a good fit for us, but it was fun to quiz the non-horsey real estate agent. When I was about 5 miles away from home, I saw a truck pulled over to the side with its flashers on, pulling a horse trailer, looked to be about a 2 horse with living quarters. I pulled over to see if he or his horses needed any help, and he was extremely rude. Basically told me to get lost.

Yikes. I know if I was in trouble pulling a horse trailer, I’d appreciate all the good Samaritans I could attract!

I always stop if there’s a horse trailer in trouble too.

Whoo Hoo beaker:), I’m holding you to that. I’ve been telling everyone, I’ve got people coming from both sides, top and bottom of the country:) They all think we are nuts:)

I imagine we are all going to take turns on all the different horses.

Rocky stood perfectly to have his shoes on. He actually wears a size bigger then Harley. Later this evening when it’s not as hot, I’ll saddle him for awhile.

Are you looking to buy property together with your trainer?

I’m glad to hear that you’re busy interviewing. That’s a good sign. Hopefully you’ll find something you really like real soon.

And that was kinda strange about the guy with the horse trailer. Usually horse people are friendlier than that. I can see where he might be a little skittish of a stranger walking up on him like that on the road, but there was no call to be rude. When I was broke down on the side of the road with that blown out tire I was tickled to death when that guy down the road drove up and offered to let me pull it down under the shade trees in his yard while I waited for my husband to come with the other trailer.

Good luck with the interviews.
