I will catch you up to date starting with last Friday night.
I decided to take Prettygirl to team penning and Al picked us up around 6:40 and we headed over to the arena. When we got there it was pitch black and no vehicles in sight. We called up to the house and were told that it had been cancelled that evening due to them needing the cows for an event they were holding the next day.
Al'’s daughter was meant to meet us there so we hung around and while we were waiting another fellow showed up with horses in tow. Bob, one of the owners of the arena arrived at the same time as Diana and said that he would delay cleaning the arena and that we could use it for a while. That was awesome of him and I was able to spend 1 ½ hours riding Prettygirl and she did really well. Things weren't as scary for her this time as there were no cows lurking in the corner.
Saturday morning Nick hooked up the pump and then we went for our walk, when we got home he was able to figure out what we needed, we ran into Mayberry for a new pump and parts. Grabbed a Tim Horton sub so that we wouldn't have to worry about making dinner, about half way home hubby said, " I wonder if the problem could be that the float was just stuck". We washed it off and stuck it in some clean water and presto it started working. Go figure eh, if we hadn't picked up the new pump it probably wouldn't have worked. So after all that it was just a stuck float. Now we have a brand new pump and parts sitting here and will keep it for the day that it quits again. Saturday night we had a really nice barbecued steak and played quite a few games of poker, and hubby managed to beat the crap out of me. We switched to crib later and I only won a couple of those games. Oh well I was glad I hadn't spent money on lottery tickets that day!
Sunday was a rather lazy day, I spent about two hours with the girls and Mystery let me touch her back feet without moving away. I will just go one step at a time with that girl.
I worked at leading her around and you can tell that someone has ridden her before cause she knows whoa really well. I did this just for training as will never let anyone ride her with the condition her feet are in.
