Back from the South....

Well Wyoming is south of Montana! so it is true!

Went down to wyoming to visit family since this was my weekend off. Got off work on Friday night, went with friends to see batman Begins. The Movie got out around 11pm then I drove the two hours to wyoming and got there around 1am. My mom got up to greet me! isn't that nice!

fell into bed and woke up around 10am to fetch the horses (Red, Ginger, and Dolly) for the three of us to go riding.
We rode 2 hours up near yellowstone and 2 hours back down! (My butt is killing me!) And is was so worth it! I have pictures I will load to my website later this week!

When we got home I napped till dinner (a whole 20 minutes maybe) and then stayed up watching Phantom of the Opera with mom, then crashed into bed. Only to be woken up at 8am to go to a Dog frisbee competition one of my mom's friends holds, and then to lunch, back to the horse to play doctor with the horses (West nile shots and wormers! ) Karl says he wouldn't ever want to have me give him a shot because I am a little too jabby or something.

Then we went up the south fork to play doctor with the other horses (we have only 8 or the 14 horses we own at our house) and I spotted a heard of elk that my stepfather is usually the one spotting them. I was so proud! Just wish my camera wasn't full from the ride pictures!

Then I drove back home(montana) and now i am very very tired. Have to get up for work tomorrow at 6am too! But then I have realitives coming from NY to visit from JUL 1-8. So if I am not around that is why!

If anyone is interested in seeing the pictures from our rides let me know and I will e-mail you a link when I get that part of my site up again. Its down for now like everything else!

But I think the most amazing thing this weekend proved to me, is that I want to spend more time with my horse (her name is fiddler and she is so cute! ) and that is going to cost a WHOLE lot of money! I am hoping to have her up here in montana by October, or November (after hunting season since they like to use her then) so I have a new goal to save for!

And just to those that were talking with me the last couple of weeks, she is doing MUCH better and the Horsey vet said that she should be fine and her condition hasn't gotten worse!

Going to crash into bed again...

Sounds like a perfect weekend! Reading your weblog made me realize how very much I miss having a horse. Maybe one day, I can get another one. It is just so hard where we live because of boarding, etc. Still --- it''s a great dream and a wonderful goal. Congrats on your superb weekend, and I''m happy your horse is doing better! ^_^

Sounds like a lot of fun, if a little hectic. My wife and I went to Yellowstone for our honeymoon and actually did a little horseback riding in the area. It was beautiful - you''re lucky to live in that area of the country. My wife is really into horses too - we have two of our own. I think it''s great that you''re going to spend more time with your horse, though I can''t believe you''ve chosen two such EXPENSIVE hobbies! Good luck!
