How time flies!

I seriously can't beleive it is December since I posted in here... to my followers I humbly apologise! No real excuse other than time limitations ...

The September Earthquake and after effects sent our world reeling ... I found myself working full time hours again - not what I really wanted but just love the work itself! Then the devastation of the February Earthquake had its affects as well on life as we knew it, and life became busier than ever. Working at the SPCA is so rewarding in so many ways, but during these crisis months it was moreso. Just being involved in helping people find their pets and assist those that needed rescuing has given all of us a real sense of purpose there.

But it has meant less paddock time for me, and less time spent with my horses which I regret. Now we are in May, almost June, I am reassessing my time and will try to reduce the hours I spend there so that I can regain some balance between work and play.

Having said that, I have booked Medina in to get started in August/Sept; retired Foxy as nursemaid to my youngsters; started riding again on Bailey a new addition (see other Post); handled Camdin so that she picks up feet and leads well (see her Post); and worked patiently (mostly!) with Magee so that he now wears a cover to keep him warm and hopefully "shaggy free" for Spring showing!

So I guess I have been busy! I'm up at 5.30am, check and feed the horses before work, spend the day at work, back to horses to muck out and check hay supply, then home about 5.30-6.30pm! No wonder I'm feeling tired!

Ah well, the rewards are rich! :-)

This is a pic of my first ride on Bailey! Lovely lovely boy, and the first time I've felt so safe on a horse for many years! I'm looking forward to his leg healing, and spending more time "in the saddle"!!
