A different week

So the weekend was good for me. Busy, but good. Saturday, had a conference that I helped to plan for my Ophth docs. Went from 7am to about noon. then I went to give plasma and then home. Got to actually SEE the horses. It gets dark so early now. Worst time of the year. I have lights, but its not the same as the daylight. Then on Sunday, i got up to do the horses, went back to bed for an hour and then got up to see Strider, a 19 year old Arab that a lady wants to find a good home for. Corinne, a lady who i know through the rescue went to look at him as well for her sister. Boy, is he a nice boy! Not your typical flighty Arab, but a nice, decent and well mannered boy! She has been doing natural horsemanship with him (Parelli) and the work really shows. He is bigger than I thought too. But really a beautiful boy! Lisa was very nice about explaining all she has been doing with him. She boards 3 horses (YIKES) at The Horse First in Brooklyn, WI. Wow! Say it again- WOW! NICE place! Big and beautiful indoor arena with lots of tack room, everythign you can think of! heated too! But anyhow, Lisa's youngest daughter really isnt a horse person so she needs to find a home for Strider. Both Corinne and I were very impressed with him. Good deal - she wants to find him a good home. Registered adn she is asking $500.00 for him. A great deal. Anyhow after Lisa was done speaking with us and we were talking about him in the parking lot, a family comes up to me! Its the Rodriguez family! they adopted Annie about 5 years ago! She is the QH filly who tried to attack me a few times after I got her from auction! OMG! I do normally keep in touch with my families, but I havent talked to them for about 2 years now! She is doing well and the girls are getting so tall! Young ladies now, not kids for sure. So it was a great day! Corinne was kind enough to give me a donation while we were out there as well. Thank you! I had to get grain and senior that day! Harley is doing well and actually gaining some weight too! his spine isnt so pronounced and he actually gets up when I go out to feed! I was giving him so much grain, he would nap more than usual. But now he is walking more and really, really looks forward to his little 8 pounds of grain/senior a day. Well I have to say I am saving money now with not giving him more! He is eating more hay and that is what he is supposed to be eating! I also give him alphalfa cubes as well. But little treats anymore. And boy he misses his carrots! He is such a good boy. Doesnt like me to mess with him while he is eating though! he actually will put his ears back at me! Only while he is eating though. REminds me of Breeze, Cindy and Kurts horse letting me know not to get next to her food!! OK then! tomorrow I start my part time job with Wal-Mart. Excited that I will have more money to pay for hay and things that come up. Wont be forever, I have to remember that! So Monday is almost over and thank goodness. Always busy at work on Mondays! Hope you all had a great weekend. Thank god for the weather as well!
