who would really much rather eat all day
Easter Weekend
Was a blast. I was able to hang out with family and friends and it was an all around good time.
I had actually wanted to post Friday, but our internet crapped out on Wednesday, and we were unable to get a technician over until Saturday afternoon. Such is life tho I suppose right? It doesn’t help I drove around town and replaced our DSL cable and that didn’t fix it. But Amber and I had a good ride. She was a little worse in the sense that she was a little more agitated, but she was actually listening really well, and trying really hard, so it was only a ten minute ride on Wednesday. Yay!
Thursday I decided to hop on very quickly since I didn’t have much time and only walk/jog around a small, flat area by our barn to do a very short, sweet, successful ride. Amber was really super, and when she got a little upset, relaxed very quickly and I hopped off. It was about 5 minutes total probably. But it was very light, Whisper was within seeing distance and she got many praises and scratches. Our future neighbors (they bought the property behind us a while ago; the county just keeps delaying their stuff) came over and the kids just loved Amber. We met them a while back and the older brother just adores Amber, and I absolutely love that she loves kids.
Even Whisper was super excited to hang out with the kids for a bit, even though she’s generally not the most egregious horse when it comes to showing affection. She loved that little girl. I was so glad I was able to whip my phone out and snap as much as I could. It was adorable.
Friday Amber had off, and Saturday was a very light hack around the arena to stretch her legs and watch my mom ride Whisper. The both of them are coming along really well (especially since neither of us has been able to ride Whisper much), and her canter is really coming along. Lunging has really really helped in Whisper’s fitness I think. It’s hard to work Whisper for long periods of time because she thinks she’s in trouble and gets agitated. So it’s a little hard to do rides as fitness, but I think we’re starting on the right track.
Sunday I popped over to the parents’ house – a little early to give me time to ride Amber a bit. So we saddled up (and WOW it was like 80 already; I was wearing my summer pants), and rode in the arena for a bit. She was happy walking and I asked for a teensy bit of trot, and she was a good girl and was slow but okay. She didn’t seem as happy to do more than walking as she has been, so I kept it at a walk and she was pretty content at that. We kept it easy and relaxing for the both of us – just spending some quality time together. She got many loves, apple pieces as an easter treat, and many scratches. It seems like while her abscess is STILL dripping, it’s hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) really starting to close and I can take her up for her debridement very soon.
My sister and her boyfriend came over shortly after as did my friend, and we all had a great time chatting and hanging out and eating. My sister and I were goofy as always. Have fun with these.
Totally sisters. Happy Easter everyone, and I hope yours was awesome!
