Truly this place is neverending in it's interesting things. Honestly, how does anyone get anything done around here?

All work and no play...

It's never a dull day, though, at the barn. This last week we have had three foals born, two horses throw shoes on the same day (although the second was right after the farrier left, of course), one decided the fenced paddocks weren't their cup of tea and ended up needing stitches because they broke out and two who bolted from their owners. We've also had a few new boarders come in. Plus the usual lessons.

I need to have a day off. I need to get into some trouble

Six horses sold this month. Two more leased out to students. Four shows attended. My girls brought back blues and reds, and one grand champion. I brought my own ribbons and silver platters back. Four open stalls to get booked for boarding, two new adult clients.

Show barns are always a busy, busy place. I'd be confused if it wasn't so busy, though.

I really do enjoy being able to lounge on my day off. Even if it's by the pool at the barn. Can't help keeping an eye on the students while they do their chores. Working students have to work after all.

There's nothing more stressful than trying to wrangle seven teenage students into getting their work done before their show. I've got my own horse to bathe and braid, and they are just fooling around. Although the threat of not letting them attend has gotten a couple to get serious.

I swear I was never this disobedient as a child. okay, so I was worse. I stole anything not nailed down. . I suppose they're just lucky I don't run this place like I was back in the Army. They'd be cleaning tack with QTips.

How did my mother do this every day? God.

I must say this place is certainly different than anywhere else I've been. As my introduction has been rather quiet, I'll attempt a second with a question:

What is the best place to eat around here?

A client of mine said this is a good place to network and meet people if you're new to the area. I only arrived a few weeks ago, I am from Kentucky, and originally from France and Lithuania. I am Contessa Salvage, and it is my pleasure to be here.
