Well! Talk about freaking amazing!! So the morning started
off rrrreaaaallly early. Seeing as it was my birthday I finally got to open my
present that my gran sent me! OMW! It is a gorgeous silver and pink jewellery
set. Leaves, sparkles it is simply gorgeous!! I love it! Thank you soo much
gran and grandpa!! ^^) Then to get the horses loaded up and ready to travel...
We decided that morning that we were taking Ellie and Happy, both beautiful
little mares. Ellie is actually Happy’s only foal that she ever had, the rest
have not survived sadly! Ellie is a perfect Morgan mare, perfect confirmation
and colour and a real great personality. Imagine the other perfect little
babies Happy would have had. ^^)
Anyway, we drive all the way to Wolf Creek and the drive up
there was so great. We drove over the Sierra Nevada’s. Then got to wolf creek
and rode in them. It was breath taking, riding on these trails along the side
of the creek, riding in great big forests with all kinds of trees, then through
great big green meadows that almost look like an oil painting! Words can hardly
describe it!! It is crazy. The girls were so good, up huge rocky embankments,
down river beds, swimming in the creek. It was such a great way to spend my
birthday! Doing something I love with all my heart and in such an amazing
place!!
We found this perfect chill session rock in the creek so we
tied the horses up, took off our clothes and went for a swim. The water was
freezing, because it is the snow melt water, you do get used to it after a
while! So after that we rode a bit more up the hill. There were some really
steep places where I had to remind Aly we had to come back down that way lol. We
did them both up and down, the mares were super duper! Those two horses are
turning into great horses! We eventually
rode the trail back to the truck and the two girls were so good, they knew they
had gotten back to where they hopped out.
We then drove into Nevada to go to Steve’s and Karren’s
place for a Barbie. They surprised me with a birthday cake and singing, it was
really great! Thank you guys sooo much!! ^^) I fell inlove with Steve’s dogs
they are too beautiful... Great big Malamutes! Really gorgeous! I could not
wait to have a shower, and yes... I slept in a bed just cause I’m cool like
that! Alyson slept under the stars in the truck, bigger balls than me! Hehe,
half way through the night I was freezing and had to turn the fan off and get
under the covers, so I don’t know how she survived, lol. I also met Eric and
Chris for the first time, Aly;s other brother and wife.
Then for the drive back, it was soo pretty we went past Lake
Tahoe, which is HUGE, and soo pretty Gawsh!! Hehe, it was cool to drive through
there. Then going through the mountains I could see Heaven’s Ski Resort, there
was no snow up near the runs but there was snow on a couple of the other
mountains! I really cannot get over how amazing all the different places I have
been to here so far are! Its crazy!! ^^) So Hawaii next?? ;) Maybe!!
We got back Saturday and then went up to Sam’s for a Barbie,
had a great night. J
Sunday was a really chilled day, Made breakfast with Chris, Kurt and his
girlfriend. Later on we ended up playing cards and watching loads of hilarious
and utterly stupid stuff on tv! LOL, was nice to have a relaxing day.
So all in All I had a greeeeaaaat birthday weekend!! Thank
you to everyone for the wishes!

So today G was a little bit of a pain, probably cause he got
the weekend off, but he is still one super horse! Wow, he can so freaking
jump!! Its crazy!! Then went on to work on the stalls again. We
are getting further. So far we have laid the floor bars and bolted the steel
down. I have taken the planks off of the old posts, which was such a pain to
do, omw. So we are going places lol. The stalls will be looking great!! Yeah!
We are nearly underway with the barn!! YAY! Hehe, Yip,
putting it up ourselves! So it shall be perfect!! We finished the pig pen too.
There is always something to do on the ranch, you finish one thing and start
the next, its crazy! Today I also scrubbed the boat as spotless as it can get
so that I can paint it tomorrow, that was a half mission.
The feed store today had no pellets for the horses so we
ended up getting a couple of Alfalfa bails, Those things are so heavy omw! So
we just threw them on the quad to move them and then gave to the allocated aminals.
Thus where I got my pain in the ass itchy grass rash from... Arg! Haha, yeah so
I am nearly covered from head to toe with some sort of painful or discomforting
thing! LOL, whether its bruises, cuts, scratches, rashes, calluses etc, you’ll
find something everywhere!!
I got a parcel in the mail today from mom, Ian and Tay back
home, it was a pretty cool to get something mailed. It is this really cool grey
belt! ^^) Thank you soo much! Missing you stax love you all!
I am still having a great time here! Working hard still,
loosing weight which is great!! ;) hehe. Yeah, so I think thats pretty much it
for now, If I forgot something or you wana ask me something, don’t hesitate!! J
Peacekeys!!
