MEGAN: I got to the girls a little early, and Annie went to the deli for breakfast before taking me to the barn. I fed the Hunter Barn, did 3 sets of turnouts, and swept the corner of the indoor before doing Simba’s stall, water, walk, and handwalking Bentley. Then I took towels to Mica’s barn and scooped lunch, enjoying some popcorn one of the clients brought. At 11:00 am, after a bit of studying, Annie gave me a mini-lesson on Simba. We worked mostly on lateral work in the trot- keeping him round and through his back. After his bath, I grazed him and met Katie from County Saddlery. She had to work with Fern first, so I scooped dinner in Mica’s barn before tacking Simba up and trying some different saddles to figure out what he and I both liked. I love those saddles!! So comfy for me, and apparently Simba agreed! There was one saddle we put on him that made him move very uphill and freely in his shoulders. He liked that one!! So, after Katie got both Simba’s and my measurements, I took Luke for a quick hack and scooped dinner in Mica’s barn, did some laundry, cleaned the feedroom and tackroom, and took care of all the laundry in Mica’s barn. Upon arriving home I changed and did a 4 mile tempo and attempted to mow the lawn which did not work- apparently this requires a certain amount of skill that I have not yet developed. After a shower and a little dinner I am off to do more work for AP Bio- Oh, joy. More schoolwork, and school has not even started yet!!
SIMBA: I had to work twice today. How much work does she think I need? For heaven’s sake, a horse does not need to work twice when he is sweating just standing in his stall. Oh, but the second time there was a lady watching who put lots on different saddles on my back and some of those were really comfortable. All of them were better than my usual one, but that one… I could go forever in that thing!! I felt like a prince, getting all my measurements taken for a custom-made saddle… I could get used to living in the lap of luxury. Especially if it meant I didn’t have to work…
