Sunday I went to Williams Lake to pick up Aydin and got in on the poker run at Rene and Karla's. Aydin was in full race mode and was a turkey the whole way. I was worried that he would be overtired for the long trailer ride but there was nothing I could do about it. He was out to pass everyone and power up the hills and all his usual tricks. It was a good thing I had the double bridle on him...I just about didn't bring it as I thought he would be calmed down after a month with no grain. I was wrong. I guess the pasture at Minton Creek is pretty rich although Nikki seemd to have slim slightly. Anyway it was a great ride and I got home in fairly good time. Aydin likes his digs here and is very happy to be back with the ponies.
Veronica was over today to get her instructions for taking care of all the animals while I am away in Victoria. Hope all goes well with that. School is starting to settle down but Silvain is not coming to school in the afternoon. Neither is he eating any lunch! I am concerned! I spent at least an hour of teaching time diddling around trying to arrange rides for what are suppose to be full grown adults to get to their jobs. It is ridiculous, but apparently they consider it their right to be taken care of into middle age. That was my rant for the day, obviouly brought on by being overtired!
Richard's mother's coats were well received and gone in less than half an hour. It was good to see that they would be appreciated and used. My supper is ready in the microwave...left overs from Sunday still. Will run on the treadmill to get rid of some of my stiffness from my wild horse ride on Sunday...it was as gruelly as if I had run it myself and I have kinks in places I never have when running!
