August 11 - A mishmash of stuff

Gidget was good tonight. Just did ground stuff with her without tack...just to see where her mind set was after a full day in the arena. And she was very attentive..did everything I asked...even lunged a bit at the end of the leadrope with no issues...so I will ride tomorrow night.

Did not do anything with Hyde though due to the below.

Got a call from Mike (guy from work) and he said he was coming out...so it was a mad rush to do supper and straighten the house a tad if we decided to come inside afterwards. LOL

He looked over everyone. Really likes Cuba AND Gidget. Took pics of them both to show his girlfriend and said he would be letting us know. Talked to Doyle and I about boarding as he would need to board them for a year...they are looking at farms/acreages right now but don't really want to move in the winter. Doyle said he would think about it to him and he said that was fine...and would not be a buying deal breaker but likes the set up here (arena for the young horses to learn in and his girlfriend as well)...we know the horses...places to ride...people to ride with etc. right away which he likes too.

He said - if he decides to buy and we decide to board - for us to just give him a total cost for the horses and a year's board on both and he will just write a cheque. Doyle liked that idea...said if it goes okay - then we should have enough to buy all our winter hay as well as all the fencing materials we want to get!!!

I did play with my camera a little bit tonight. Got all the polarizing lenses (the three small ones) onto both fancy lenses. Took some shots with both...just out the window...playing with focusing right now. Will read my instruction book more tomorrow and write some notes on the settings...and how to work them so I don't have to carry the instruction book. I also set up my carry-case. LOL
