What a week!!!!

Man it has been a heck of a week.

Tuesday: I started to make jump standards and anything else I could think of. Now I have a bridge, an L, three jump standards, rope gate and I painted them all. I have a few ground poles left to paint, but I am very proud. I will post pictures of the arena set-up in a few days.

Also the kids and I have been cleaning up. All the loose lumber is gone(see above, lol) and what was not usable is now neatly stacked in a burn pile.

Wednesday: Worked with Jewel again, she is such a sweet mare. Once the wolf teeth were gone bridling has been a breeze. She also likes to take a bath, as I am filling the water trough mainly. The rest of the day I took a break, as I burned my lower back pretty bad(darn shirt gaped).

Thursday: Another lesson. Rode Mare with a different bit. Oh what a change. She is also an awesome mare. Had a great time and not nearly as sore in the legs. Now if they would just trim down a bit..LOL

Friday: Kayvon had some friends over. They set-up the tent in the lawn and then played air-soft till only they know when....All good boys. Very courteous.

Saturday: Got the Jeep fixed. Boys cleaned up and put the tent away(without me asking). Did some more painting. Brought the bridge up to also paint.

Sunday. Mainly just hung around the house. Did go over and help Wally's sister with a wall they needed to set for their addition. Is looking great. (http://www.wagons-ho.blogspot.com/)

So now it is Monday again and this week looks just as full. I am hoping to get lots done this summer and ride, ride, ride.
