Ah, more time…

It is now September. I wish I had summer to do over. I have lists in my mind that haven’t been crossed off; so much yet to do! Sadly, I have to say to myself, “next spring”.
On a brighter note, my 2 horses have had a good summer! I have taken care of them the best I could. They have fly masks, fly spray when needed, shade, and food. The heat has been oppressive at times. I sponged, or hosed them when hot. That in itself has made me happy; knowing that I have given the best care that I could.
I tend to get very OCD about certain things, and the horses are one of them. I would like to do things in a certain way on a certain schedule- and get very frustrated when it doesn’t happen. I believe that I am getting over that. It’s called “balance.” I do not use horses to make a living. We are co-existing. Any time that I have with them is a bonus.
I could have ridden my horse in a small town parade today. I believe Ginger would have been fine with it, even though she hasn’t been ridden at all in different places since I’ve had her ( 4 years ! wow, hard to believe!)
But my granddaughter, who will be 7 next month, is riding her bike in the parade. I am going to choose to spend time with her, and my daughter. Maybe one day she will ride with me! Who knows if she will find her way to wanting to be with horses.
I am going to enjoy the moment I am in. That is my goal. I will enjoy today with family. And tomorrow? Hopefully my coworker is coming over to ride!   She has been very busy and hasn’t ridden in quite awhile. She has horses, but can’t bring one over tomorrow. I told her she could ride Brego. She is a tall woman, and he is taller than Ginger, so it should work out.
