So I am happy to say that the girls have settled in nicely after a wreck of a first weekend at the new barn. Everyone seems to know their role in the herd and both girls are trying to make friends with the others. I had Open enrollment at work all last week and put in 12 hour days for most of the week so I finally get out there Friday night to spend some time with the girls and just see that they are okay. Josh had picked up some beet pulp for Picks and had cleaned stalls and made the barn fabulous :) I tuck the kids in bed knowing that I would get to spend some time with them over the weekend.
Satuday morning I am up early to go play with the ponies and do chorse. I get everyone out and stalls cleaned and toodles with the little girls for a bit. I wait until later in the afternoon to lunge and ride as it has been wet and the arena was squishy. I lunged Lily for abut 20 minutes and then hopped on Pickles to take a stroll around the property. I was tempted to try and trail ride but the girls are still kind of attached at the hip so I decided not. Tucked the ponies in and went home!
Sunday was a lost cause....I went out to feed and Penelope the goat had pooped everywhere! I dont even know how she produced that much poop! I should have done something productive but I seriously just sat and watched the ponies eat and was perfectly happy with that. I like that there are people at the barn but I also love the quiet mornings where i can sit and watch them munch on hay and watch the little girls run around :) I am finding it is the simple things in life that make me happy!
So hopefully today I will get out of here at 4 and get to the barn in time to ride! I would love to take Lily to the Ark for the CHSC show and toodle. We will see how the week of riding goes :)
