Today, is puppy day at the barn, until about 2:30-2:45. Supposedly there is someone coming here to take an older/ unwanted ford p/u away. He was out yesterday and said he would be back. I was hoping to be able to hit some balls into the field next door, except some guy showed up to trim a tree and see about getting the ivy off it. They just happened to park a truck and chipper right in the path I hit in...
Boss is heading north to a horse show for school students, and she will be gone all weekend...
Horse show for school students is kinda like a PE substitution. Full time professional trainers kinda donate thier time to train teams of kids who would like to ride and show yet don't have the money to pay for it. The shows consist of the teams showing up with what they need to ride in, helmet, breeches (pants), and boots. They are allowed to bring their own stirrup leathers. Everything else will be provided, horse/ rider combinations are done by lottery draw. The kids have about an hour to get used to the horse and then they get to go show in front of show judges.
Not sure of the prizes as I have not attended one...
