Just a quick check in. This seems to be the summer of unpredictable things happening and as a result, my riding time and carefully laid plans have suffered.

Short quiet hacks around the neighbourhood are the best I can do right now, and are the best part of my day! |
It's a case of nothing really going right, suddenly and all at once! Not to mention just keeping up with the day to day horse chores where I board is more time consuming and difficult in the summer (The summer fields are typically far from a water tap, plus picking poo out of long grass is...frustrating). My saddle is broken and had to be sent back to the manufacturere for repairs, so that puts a damper on things too. Being the proactive person I am, I'm researching plans and building and zoning bylaws to build a barn at home to keep things simpler, also I'm perusing the job ads hard. But, of course that also has been adding time and stress.

At least both ponies are looking great! |
I promise, I'm not whining. I'm lucky to have the life I do. But for my own sanity, I'm just going to get the horses out when I can for the remainder of the month and not stress too hard about it. I've extended my summer schedule through September and my plan is to return to 5-6 day a week rides and outings then. My goals remain the same and I want to be back to lessons and showing next spring, hopefully with Sophie.
I feel like this has been the most boring blog ever lately, but I have to ask you to bear with me a little further, while we take a small break to organize and regroup.
See you soon!
Good luck with everything!!
ReplyDeletenot boring at all. Life sucks at time (ask me about it). I am glad you have a plan in place and hope sometime soon you get your own place. Even thought it is not perfect it does help with it all being right out the back door :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s been like that for me this year as well! One thing after another so I just don’t feel like I can get back to the swing of things. Crossing my fingers for you that all of the things you’re working on have awesome solutions :)
ReplyDeleteShit happens! I hope that things quiet down for you and you can get back to doing what you love.
