I have the day off work, so I shall go down the yard, bring my mare into the stable for breakfast, and my little new forest too. Off come the rugs, and a good hours grooming session, tell them all my problems, then maybe a coffee for me and carrots for the horses,catch up on any yard gossip,

fill a few haynets and get all messy and muddy and feel how pleased I am not to be in a business suit at work!Yay!

Quite probably another day off work ill, feeling sorry for myself and getting bored enough to sit down and do some studying. Sounds fun

I'm not sure if I'd rather feel this ill and be at home, or feel fine and be at work!
 
I have six hairy dogs to contend with before running out the door to meet my mate with the trailer to go pick my girlie up from the horsepital! She's been in for a week and I actually miss her! And it's going to be another 8 weeks of box rest.

Horsey is a bit sore over his back at the moment so no riding for a week or so, just lungeing, but if the weather forcast is right I'm not going to stand around for 20 mins lungeing in heavy rain and winds! If weathers ok i'll lunge, otherwise it's just mucking out and mentally preparing myself for work on sat

What day is it tomorrow for a start?

If it is a weekday, then same old, same old. 20 minutes work with the foals, long rein the new mini and see what she thinks of a harness and that's it horsewise. There is a socking great willow tree down over a fence that needs to be hauled off and chopped up, couldn't be bothered to do it today because it is raining. Oh, and I have a couple of turkeys to butcher that were shot this morning and are hanging in the barn for now. I lead an exciting life.

If it is the weekend, then still the same but with OH and the child at home, so no pc time!

Well same old day for me, school *jumping around with joy* then will come back and try and ride 2 before it gets dark, well hack one out and do one in the school (with lighting haha)

Tomorrow we will be clearing up after finishing a hedge (laying) and starting on the next one , hopfuly this one wont be as awkward, as the last one we had a barbed wire fence, a deep ditch Filled with water,( chainsaws don't float ) and next to a busy road.

Getting my toddler and his baby brother into the car punctually to go to yard (a difficult task that we perform every weekday), then do the horse jobs maybe ride or lunge unless we run out of time as going to a 2nd birthday party straight after - then home for lunch, maybe my toddler has a nap, maybe not, then off to have tea at friend's, then daddy comes home and it is the weekend...
 
Deliver a load of horse bedding to local horse charity, deliver load of dog food to customers in Exeter, collect load of horse feed from the wholesalers.

Animalwise, count ponies legs and have a snuggle with them, let dogs have a good run around the field morning and afternoon, feed poultry and collect eggs, feed (and probably swear at) sheep.

Bonus - Friday is chip van night in our village.

*If* my grumpy girl will let me catch her (which she wouldn't this evening
tongue.gif
) then a groom for her, some poo picking and the usual feeding jobs. Hopefully I'll be home in time to hear my friend on the radio; it's her second show tomorrow
smile.gif
Oh, and cooking supper for my mother in the evening
smile.gif
 
Up to the yard to muck out, work from 9-4:30, back to fetch ned in, home for 5 to continue work til 9
Finishing with a well earned glass or 3 of red
grin.gif
 
Up early to turn horses out and muck out, then work 9-5. After work ride one horse and do something with the youngster then put them to bed before going home.
 
walk dogs as soon as it is vaguely light (younger staffie refuses to go walkies in the dark - yet has no problem with it at the yard!) then finish getting ready for work and heading off - busy day with back to back meetings starting with breakfast club at 8.... then the joys of the M25 on a Friday night (horrible) so about 1 1/4 hours home, change and then upto see my horse and ride and finish him. Dogs get to race around the yard (suitably rugged up!)
 
I will go to work at 8.30am, do morning yards, then give Scooby a nice groom and some love, and if my breastplate has arrived I might even get to ride him! Then I have to be home by 4 to wait in for the Asda man. OOH! And then I'm going out with some of my friends who will be home from uni for the weekend! Wahey!
grin.gif


Aw, I'm in a good mood now. I'd forgotten about that.

Tomorrow I am determined to get up in time to ride in the morning before work. I proved last week that I can do it (rode 4 days in the mornings before work last week) - but this week it has all gone a bit wrong. I have done zero riding in the mornings before work this week *very very naughty - slaps wrists*!!

So that will be getting up at about 5.50 to muck out the 4 and then get up to the school for about 35 mins schooling.

Then off to work 9-5 - usually with a quick half hour on HHO when I can get on tinternet at lunchtime
smile.gif


Then home - gather up muddy horses from the field, tuck up in their pjs for bedtime with plenty of hay.

Then I think as it is children in need on telly, I will most likely be........ in the pub

Oh the joy, the weekly food shop day, up to yard, muck out the ill one, poo pick (18 horses) lead yearlings out on road again, try and ride 2 that im breaking in, feed horses, home, feed the tribe at home then put feet up
 
Feed horses early, attend to sick gelding with abcess in his cheek, inject him with his antibiotics without ending up hurt! Turn out all 5 horses, muck them all out, feeds, hays etc ready for the evening. Ride hairy friesian and not so hairy warmblood if its not too windy! Otherwise just a damm good groom. Poo pick a paddock or two!
Wait for my partner to get back from a driving test (fingers crossed!!)
Bring them all in, feed, sleep!!
 
At work as usual, however it will be an easy day, we have a big meeting for about an hour 9.30-10.30 then my boss's retirement do starts at 12.30 then no more work for the day and i only have to use 1 hour toil and barely do a days work! Then out for a bit after, but as we are starting early I may end up getting a bus at about 10-11pm!
 
Up the horses 1st thing and muck out my horse and sisters pony and check the other horses.
Then off 2 work usual day. Back down the yard to ride my boy in the dark reckon some schooling is in order.
 
Do some work. Pick up extra child at nine. Yard. Finish sorting electric fencing. Turn out. Sort out rubber mats. Four of us will muck out, hay, water, do two lots of feed for seven horses. Daughter and FD will hopefully ride (they're having far too much fun at this new yard lol). Lunge the Dizzy one, with tack on if I remember to take it!

Then home for lunch. Then: website work; new client's work to review (an old client and wants me back - barking mad lol); some marketing stuff (I call it 'stuff' as I have no idea what I'm doing on that front!); catch up on LinkedIn, etc.; a bit more work on one of the books.

I'm thinking seriously of retiring...

) then back home afterwards to feed pones, and see if my mum thinks i'm well enough to go out (was off school today)- if so, back into town for New Moon
