Crochet Me Crazy

It was a really quiet day at the stables today. We only had 4 riders all day...really sad. I sat down with the kids and helped them concentrate through some school work. It's hard to concentrate on school when there is so many exciting things to do around you! Michael got busy with Old Bev's Band saw and made some nice cedar strips and sanded them. One of them he used to mount one of his snake skins on. It is now proudly hanging in my RV.

Nothing very exciting happened today. Jeff is recovered from his first rodeo he had yesterday while out on a ride. He took out a ride and a little girl started getting motion sick. He stopped and her and her dad got off the horses. They were going to wait for Jeff to go back and get them on the trail in his truck. Well, the horse Jeff was riding was Stormy. She is a young horse that came back from a trainer messed up because they mistreated the horses. They have been trying to work them through it and get them to trust again. Jeff has been working on Stormy since we got there. Well, when Jeff got back on her, she started bucking up and down like crazy! Jeff stayed on her but he was sore from getting banged around like that! We think that when Jeff tied her up, she panicked when she put her head up from grazing and found her head come up in a tree branch with a bunch of moss hanging in it. She wasn't completely calmed down when Jeff got on her. She wasn't convinced the "bugars" were gone! It's funny, that's what we call them to the horses....bugers. When we're trying to comfort them, we tell them "No Bugers". For horses, there are boogers everywhere!!
So Jeff rode her today to see how she was...she was perfectly fine today. There were no bugars today.
