Us ranch girls are all battered up!

The rest of this week was a great one, We got another feeder calf who is really cute. We named him Charlie. ^^) On Wednesday Aly had to work again, so I spend most of the day staining the deck. It was so hot on Wednesday to the point where I was dripping with sweat! It was hardcore!

G and I are getting better with the dressage, there are still a few things we need to work on because the last girl who rode him would ride only with his face, which makes him stronger and stronger. So I have to spend a lot of time bumping him off with my leg instead. We have finally gotten the show entries in! I am doing a bunch of Hunter classes and a bunch on dressage tests.  We are leaving the ranch on Thursday morning staying over with the big horse trailer and then probably coming home on the Saturday evening. My Hunter classes are all on Friday and the dressage all on Saturday! Super excited! ^^)

We got loads done as usual and ran around like mad this week! This weekend was a pretty heavy weekend! I have not felt so beat up since I’ve been here as I do right now. I worked my ass off literally this week! Sweated way half of the rest of me! LOL<, just kidding! I wish!!

Friday we spend most of the day at the auction came home with a 700lbs Heafer Calf and a feeder calf. I swear we never leave without buying something from the auction. We invited Kent, Javier, Jordan and Chris over for a couple rounds of beer pong... I will stop right there... This is where all my injuries started. I came out of that one with a bruised but and thigh, a bump on my head and the roasties from a little earlier on! I guess thats what happens when you put a quad and a leadrope together, I have the worst roasties on my arm like ever, and omw are they sore! I’ll put pics on facebook.

Saturday morning was a usual work in the sun doing landscaping. Somehow, Jordan and Chris were still here, so we decided to cook this huge breakfast and stuff our faces! ^^) Great job! Riding later that afternoon in the sun pretty much killed Aly and I. Then where we got some more thigh bruises, feeding the calves! Rowdy and Charlie are getting extremely push and pretty much head butting us off our feet! Its pretty hilarious!! Painful at times, but we just laugh at eachother! They are so fast to that you can run flat out and they are still trailing right behind you. We went to the movies on Saturday night and watched the new Expendables! LOL, it was pretty brilliant! Was a great laugh.

Sunday we were up bright and early again to start up the landscaping again and finish my dressage tests and stuff J Then we decide to go off to the lake. We spend about 7 hours on the water, so thats where the sunburn came from. We bought a new twoman tube, the injuries continue... Then we start pulling the tube off the tower. One minute hello Tarryn, nex minute, Holy crap!! She’s flying... Haha, was pretty crazy!!! I sadley had to come down at some point, and yes it was like hitting a concrete wall, with my face, I literally got the wind knocked out of me. So I started getting brave again and I’m working my arms then my legs, so they are all stiff, not to mention the bruised on my shins from the tubing. I think I got winded at least 3 times and sprained my wrist the one time and was rocking a super headache! Then to add to it, tubing with Aly we both got whiplash a couple of times.

All I can say is thank goodness for the hot tub, Helps with all the aches and pains... Well we get home from the lake and its time to feed calves(in the dark) We get the quad out and we are driving along the fence and bam! A piece catches the quad and breaks Aly’s finger... Yip so we are filled with cuts and bruises and aching and broken parts! Very hard week for us! Aftewr the lake the usual pitstop in at the OC for burgers and then off home...

Monday morning, up early again to go on a ride with Jords and Aly... Yip once again bruises from our bratty horses. Splinters from fences and a couple more bruises.  BUT HEY, ALWAYS A GREAT LAUGH WITH GREAT COMPANY AND SUPER GREAT MEMORIES! We ran around like crazy today with all the shopping and stuff we had to do. Sadly we had to end the day with Cara and Via trying to take down a pig which was not to great, but we hope she pulls through. If not we are just gona have more sausage!

There is looooooads missing between but I’m sure you are getting tired of hearing it! LOL, anywho. Goodluck to Taratay for their show in Linbro this weekend!! Show them how its done! I will be at the Mother Lode Morgan Horse Show next weekend, wish me luck! J
