Comings and Goings........

I know that sometimes I get on here and complain about the fact that my only contact with the outside world are the cranky customers that grace part of my working day, however, spare a thought for Evan who had a day like this:-

Wake up (suddenly) by Spikey-man at 5am with a cold nose in the face and a paw on the shoulder.

Go outside and clean up stables and yards (pick up pooh etc etc)

Start filling the water bowls

Start feeding the stabled horses

Continue on with the water bowls

Start feeding the other horses

Give hay to the stabled few

Come inside and have breakfast

Attend to the emails for Gallopers

Make calls for Gallopers

Come outside and wash Bob and groom mane and tail in anticipation of early pick up from Sydney Horse Transport

Watch Bob roll in the dirt

Chat with Leo from next door about Hay supplies - help him deliver hay to Hayshed down the bottom of property

Try and put mare collars on Maddie and Joie

Attempt to groom Maddie and Joie for their trip to Portland Player (brush body, mane tails)

Back inside to make some more phone calls for Gallopers

Ring stud re Joie and Maddie

Answer emails from Gallopers

Go back outside: check water bowls and give lunch to horses

Clean stables and yards (again)

(Are you exhausted yet?)

Come inside for lunch

Field more calls for Gallopers / make more calls / check emails

Transport arrives for Horses. Go get Bob.

Bring Bob up

Help load Bob (he's a good boy and no trouble)

Help load Joie (she loaded well, but got fidgety!)

Help load Maddie

20 mins later....

Help load Maddie (who didnt want a bar of it)

Wave truck goodbye! (finally)

Start checking water bowls (3rd time today - doesnt help when Max wants to swim in his)

Start feeding horses in stables

Start feeding others

Give hay to stabled horses

Come inside

Gallopers / P.A.S.S. web updates

Open a cold beer.

Think about dinner.

Sit on the verandah with beer and wait for Helen to come home

Dish up dinner

Form study time

Shower

Coma.

Wake up ... and do it all again!

Anyone who said this is a glamorous life, obviously hasnt spent a day with us!!! It certainly makes my job look like a breeze!

LOL

P.s. Congratulations to Evan on his first pick for P.A.S.S. who paid $3.90. (I told you to go and read his blog!!)
