Yes, there is some sun!

Boy, what a nice weekend! And today is great too! I get home on Friday to find my upper paddock horses have busted out (I am sure Duke did it!)and were all out on the lawn. Along with Cheyenne and Raven. Raining again and mud up past my ankles, trying to fix the fence (thank you for helping me Susan!) and then putting them all back. so I get them fed and go into the house for some much needed sleep! I wake up on Saturday and oh my gosh! I see the sun!! Yes!! I have a couple of girls coming over to see the horses and maybe take a ride on Missy! it is still very muddy, but we stay to the driveway and road. My road is not traveled much- But it just so seems that on Saturday they have a course for some dirt bikes! Never happened in my 16 years here! Missy did very well - We just faced her towards the bikers (and they went slow). Cherie, Sara and Tom all going down the road with Missy! Cherie has been taking lessons and Sara- never been on a horse! Boy, she loved it and they took tons of pictures. i will get some of those and post them tomorrow probably. We all had a great time. Thanks to Tom (Cherie's dad) who brought them out to my place and put up with our horse world! Sara did very, very well too!
Sunday- Went to Saddle Ridge and had the fund raiser! 13 riders with horses all dressed up for Halloween went on a trail ride and went to several places to get candy. Randy, the owner of Saddle Ridge took us non-riders on the hay wagon to the places. Oh my gosh, was the weather great or what?? I tell you, that when it rains for a long time, I get that sort of depression when i dont see the sun. The weekend sure lifted my spirits big time! The ride on the hay wagon was so peaceful and we all just enjoyed the country side. Then after a few hours, the riders came back and we judged for best costume. We had a pair that was mid-evil, Grinch, Dorothy and more! So much fun. the day was getting late, so we didnt do the obstacle course. I guess we will plan on a tad bit earlier to get all of the activities in. We had some treats for the humans as well as carrots and alfalfa cubes for the horses. It was so much fun. All in all, the event raised over $400.00! The money went to my farrier (who was here yesterday for my naughty horses) and the rest will go towards my hay guy! Thank you to Sheryl Bennett for organizing this event! And to all of the folks who donated and went on the ride. Would love to do this again next year! Lots of hard work went into the planning, but it was so worth it to meet new people and new horses!
Monday- I stayed home from work because Dewey, my farrier was coming to do my horses. They went alittle bit longer than they should have so it was time! Just about all of them a tad bit naughty!! But it was raining and we decided to pull them into the barn so we could all stay dry. But they all got done! Thank you Dewey!
Today- Tuesday, back to work and there is sun again! Thank you God! Love the sun! We can deal with cold, but must have the sun! All in all a great 3 days!
