I have been in quite a funk this past week . Being homesick, lonely, stressed ect. But for some reason I woke up today and decided that none of that mattered and I was going to have a good day. And you know what? And even though it rained (which I normally hate) I had a great day today.
Robby had the day off so that was definitely the icing on the cake because:
A. I love him and love spending time with him, I just love being around him!
B. I do not have to be a lone!
The day started off with us going to the ranch to pick up some of Fen's old tack. I am keeping some to use on Kooper. But some of it was a constant reminder of what was lost... SO we decided to take it to a consignment store. I said hello to Kooper (yes, we spell it with a K instead of a C because we are cool like that!). Poor Kooper is stuck in his stall for a couple days while the cut in his hoof heals a bit. He was very exited to see us, But we were just running in the ranch to grab my stuff. I promised him we would be back later to play with him.
So it was a forty minute drive to the store. I really love driving to that store. I love driving through the farm lands and vineyards. So pretty! Anyway we got there and The lady sorted through my stuff and priced it. We looked around since we were already there. It’s a really neat tack store that has used and new stuff. A girl with my kind of tack addiction could get in trouble in there. But I was good and did not buy a thing.
Then we drove to yet another tack store that was in the area. I saw an add for it on craigslist (local classifieds) and just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It was a very cool store! Lots of colors of all sorts of tack and equipment. Yet another store that I could get in trouble in. But I was proud of myself, I only bought a lead rope and a lime green sponge for bathing.
Then we were on our way back to the ranch to play with Kooper. When we got there we were once again greeted with a friendly nicker. Kooper is actually a very vocal horse. Always neighing and making interesting sounds. Anyway I had to out more duct tape over his bandage since he somehow ripped off the original duct tape. Then I decided to walk him to the covered arena for a supervised turnout. I noticed that he was walking almost perfectly. This definitely brought a smile to my face.
I let him go and the first thing he did was roll in the nice soft dirt. Then he jumped up and did a couple of bucking /running laps. That also made me smile because that has to mean he is feeling better. Then after some play we groomed him a bit, gave him his vitamins , then put him away. Also I am getting extremely excited about moving to the new ranch. I can not wait to be around people and for my horse to be around other horses. Yay!
It was all In all a pretty good day. And I was very happy to spend it with my sweetie pie (Rob). I hope I have a few more of these good days.
Until tomorrow, (or whenever I remember to blog)
bye
