Since the weekend I have been trying to fight off the blues by helping out around the farm in preparation for the event camp going on next week. It's not that I don't want to ride Kiki anymore, but I feel funny. I think taking a lesson (tomorrow) on her will help get me back into things. We had been spending so much time alone over the last few weeks and I felt like we were in this special place -- hearing about her possibly going up for sale sort of threw a wrench in that progress. I know, she's probably not going anywhere right now and I need to stop worrying, but this whole thing has me off track. It doesn't help that I think I suffer from seasonal affective disorder of the summer variety.
In the meantime, I have been building cross country fences with B all over the farm! We've been having so much fun together and with all of hers years of experience and my creativity I think we've come up with some neat (and inviting) fences for the girls to hop over. I am going to take some photos tomorrow of everything we put together. I think Kiki and I are going to test the striding on some of the small stuff too. Since I have been helping out (and B knows how much I love XC jumping) she's letting me ride one of the seasoned horses on the XC jump day! I am excited to join their camp and get to school some fun fences! Let's hope I remember how to jump, Kiki more or less heaves herself over anything smaller than 2 feet.
I am also teaching a segment on equine photography! Oh, and I am making ribbons for a little mini-event they will have at the end of camp -- I know you can get inexpensive ones from all sorts of places, but I wanted to make really silly ones. Pictures of those to follow too!
