This has been a very long week....
Labels: stables 0 commentsThe week has barely let up on us. We are already booked solid all day tomorrow. We figured it up tonight and my daughter and husband have spend 55 hours riding horseback so far this week. I don't have to ride horses all day...I help load and unload rides and deal with the people calling and milling around while they are riding. I also do pony rides. I had 17 pony rides yesterday. That's 28 laps around the parking lot. Alison was able to help me with those, Thank God. I walk 120 feet to the gate and 120 feet back to the gift shop 9 times a day. I probably walk a mile every day just walking rides out the gate. I surely get my excercise and my feet tell me about it every night. Gotta take my vitamins to help me get through the day. Last rides goes out at 5:00 pm and if we are lucky enough to stay on schedule...they get back at 6:00. Then we walk 13 horses to the barn and unsaddle them. After that, we load 8 bales of hay into the truck and feed the animals. Hopefully, we're done by 7:00 pm. It's up to the house to eat, take baths and go to bed so we can start again at 7 the next morning. Yes, I'm tired but those horses are amazing and sweet. They are tired too. I love them so much.
