Alas. No rapture. My view is that once those people get whisked off, we could have fixed everything they fucked up.
Lemme see. I do many things. Teaching horseback riding part time at Ivey Ranch Association in Oceanside. Kids and teenagers. Love it. Then the instructors ride on Friday-- found a couple of lesson horses that suit me fine. They need training, they're not old
Ivey Ranch is a nonprofit that does therapeutic, horses for heroes and able bodied. I teach able bodied. Since I was the Dressage Queen in my day, everybody learns dressage whether it's western, english or whatever. It all came back pretty quick.
But I tell ya, at my age, I don't have a whole lot of falls left in me. But it's fun. The girls are fun. Most but not all, come from either broken homes, or from homes where parental pressure is so huge can you say, "cutting?". They look forward to this one day of the week -- most of them are out there by 7:30 am to clean stalls, volunteer to help in other lessons, take their own lessons. It's quite the bomb, I tell you. All the instructors are address as "Miss (insert your name here). Except Bill. he's Mr. Bll. Everything is donated, even the horses, so some of the equipment and the horses themselves are a little sketchy, but we got some good ones in there.
And financial services. And advertsing sales. What movies have I seen? Tangled, Thor. That's about.
How are all of ye?
