"put that one on a shirt- 'my horse was coughing.'"
FINALLY friday. i've worked 50 hours this week and i am DEAD. on the bright side, that means i've made $500 this week.
horse camp is going increasingly better. i wasn't there monday due to a dentist appt, but apparently it was very disorganized and christine was really frustrated with the situation. i was there tuesday and it didn't go to well either. we had a long staff meeting about it, rethought our system, and wednesday went wonderfully. thursday and friday were even better, so hopefully that trend will continue throughout the summer.
i really like the people i work with at the barn. christine (the owner) and i went on a trail ride on the W&OD trail a couple weeks ago, and it was really interesting to talk with her for a couple hours. she basically started from scratch with her business, building a riding program step by step. she started with one pony and a handful of students, gradually building a barn on her own property and a few more horses, and eventually has what she's got going now with 15ish horses, and 65+ students of all ages.
i rode in a lesson last night. i've been riding by myself since i've been home, so i was kinda nervous about getting back into a group lesson with people watching and having an instructor and everything. it went really well though... i think i need someone telling me yes, you CAN make that super tight turn, and NO that jump is not too high.
this. job. is. so. boring.
three more hours and then i can go HOME.
