Dreaming.In.Reality

spent most of yesterday grooming. the ears are mostly trimmed and the whiskers are gone. i will have to spend a bit more time over the next week finishing his ears. flame wanted NOTHING to do with the clippers around his head.. he was pretty unimpressed with me because i pulled his mane to thin it out yesterday. i also chopped it up pretty short. the mane looks fairly stupid now.. but at least he looks like a warmblood.. mostly. he had his teeth floated on tuesday, his mouth should be pretty ok today, so i plan on going out and lunging him for a good 45 minutes or so.. riding tomorrow..

i have most of his stuff packed, all that is left to do is load up the stuff from the locker into the trunk. i need to find another saddle bag for my dressage saddle. i can then put more equipment in the bag with the saddle. my hunter saddle bag is stuffed full of bridles, leg wraps, lead lines*L* it’s got empty space? something will get stuck in it. i am also looking to get a saddle cover to use on my dressage saddle when it is at the new barn. i contemplated making my own, but i am not the world’s greatest sewer and well.. i have no idea how to make a saddle cover either*L*

been spending the morning laying under the table with my legs sticking out in the sunshine in the yard. i’ve made a whole whopping 5 dollah today. i’ve also read 2 books*L*

finally ended up going to the fair the other night.. the weather held out amazingly well. the fair in itself was pretty uninteresting. there is no “ride all day” bracelet offered anymore.. when they have it on special days, it’s only good from 10a-5p.. and i ended up not going with nici.. she was sleeping or something and never met me at the gate. so todd and i went on 3 rides, had an elephant ear and then popped off to his band practice. they play tonight in this divey don’t eat the food or drink anything that isn’t prebottled restaurant. it should be pretty fun. while we were at band practice, i took part in figuring out how to deep fry things. if you ever want a deep fried snickers bar or twinkie, i’m the girl to call :) they were disgustingly good.. which terrified me*L*

after running the yard sale today, i’m heading out to the barn. i spent most of yesterday afternoon grooming flame and trimming up his ears/whiskers. i tried to comb out his tail but i need like some industrial strength greasy detangler or something.. because that comb would not move an inch in that rat’s nest even with conditioner loaded up on it. dinner is with lorie, and then off to see the band.
