And not doing my normal stuff. Oh well. Quick update and maybe one of these days I will get back to blogging again.
I haven’t ridden since August. Yes, I know, its been forever. Although I really do miss riding, I don’t miss dealing with Lucy. I haven’t taken her out since the last time she was trimmed (and she is very overdue) yet last weekend when I went to take her and Georgie out, she saw the halter and make a squeal that deffinatly translated into a swear word and took off to the other side of the pasture. Meanwhile Georgie saw me coming with the halters and walked over to me. Guess who got to come out and get brushed and get treats?
The reason I wanted both of them out at the same time is because I want to start ponying her off Lucy on trail rides. However Lucy is going to have to get it down in her big head that going for a ride once a week is not going to be the death of her.
Everyone desperatly needs a trim. Whey have they not been trimmed? Because I haven’t been paid in over a month and I still owe my trimmer from last time. Lets not get into that.
In non horse related life I have taken up running, and because I read the cool new running book, barefoot running. Because I was not crazy enough to begin with with owning horses and all, I’ve decided to start running all over the mountains without shoes!
But in all seriousness, running barefoot is amazing! I had only been running for a couple weeks when I decided to try it. Arobicly I could handle the distances I was going, but my legs and ankles where hating it. Then I ran barefoot and my feet practicly left my body (and lungs) behind. I really enjoy it and hope to keep running and running barefoot.
I started knitting my first sock! I really suck at following patterns, I generally end up just making up my own thing, which is fine with crochet since I have been doing that for quite a while and am good at it, but with knitting I am really just a beginner. So last week I picked up some sock yarn and am now more then half way through my first sock. Its very fun! But we will see how I feel when I get the the second sock.
Well thats all for now!
