fabulous day!

I had just the most awesome day today!!!  Normally, I jockey a computer for 9 hours, 5 days a week, but not today!!!  Our Equestrian teacher had a vacation today and she asked me (yes me!) to cover her class today. it is actually more than a class it is 3 hours before lunch and then 3 hours after lunch with a small crew of 4 teenagers.  this morning we picked up poop and ran the wheelbarrows up onto the compost pile, we talked and sang along with old 70's songs, which none of them knew and I knew ALL the words to.  It was A BLAST!! 

Then we groomed all 6 of the horses and gave them a lunch time snack while we came back and had super yummy chicken for lunch.

After lunch, we went back out and talked a little about horse illnesses, then got one of them out and, with the aid of a labeled diagram, put post it notes all over her with the different parts- like hoof, croup, stifle.  it was soooo fun!  Then I got to show them how to put on a western saddle and bridle and they got to do a little riding. 

it was the absolute best!!  and on top of it all I got paid to do it!  so much better than sitting at the computer. 

yay horsies!!!
