The guy didn't show up with my horses until 3:00 in the morning. He went too far south to another address that was the same as mine.
When he finally got here, he was very apologetic and even took off some of the price. So he made good in my eyes and
I feel better about him.
Will and Lily came off the trailer perfectly except Lily slipped in all the manure and went to her knees on the ramp. She scrambled a little and was okay. He had these short awful lead ropes on them so I had to switch them out in the street, in the dark while holding on to their fly masks, paperwork,and the very sheet I asked my husband not to send.
So here I am juggling all of this and he asks me if I need help.
I said no. :) The three of us all walked just as calmly as you please through the gates while my landlady's horses were racing the fence. But I looked back over my shoulder and said, "Oh, the reason I don't need help and the reason my horses self loaded is because I'm a dedicated Parelli student and these are Parelli horses.
:)
I think people need to know.
I turned Will and Lily out into their paddock when I got up this morning. It was a little late because I'd been up so long during the night. But they'd eaten their hay and drank water and looked good so we're in the clear I think.
Will was warm, they have way too much hair for the weather we're having. Even the Floridians are saying that this is a really mild winter.
Heck, I'm already getting tan!
Also, I didn't do my exercises today but I did get some work in. I strung more electric fence and trimmed a very large tree.
Two big dumpsters came in today, one for manure and the other for limbs and rubble, etc. So I've been carting stuff to them and unloading with a big shovel. Hopefully, I'll lose some weight. I'm sticking to my healthy eating so maybe some pounds will be shed.
Okay, so the library is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and they have free Wi-fi. So that's when I'll be doing my posting.
I'm heading out to do some major grocering shopping.... and to buy a serated knife. It's hard to get along without one of those things. Who knew. :)
Yay!!! I'm so excited that your horses have arrived and that part of the adventure is over. Mazey has too much hair as well, and sweats just looking at anything other than a lead rope!
ReplyDeleteI hope the exercise works and you feel good! My own weight is s l o w l y coming off.. I'm excited ;-) I love hearing about your day, and feeling the excitement you have for your adventure! I wish I was in FL!
Hugs,
