Poor or Not

Hospitals are no fun, actually that's not accurate, it's just if one is a patient that makes going there bad. The worst part about the entire visit was they wanted $100.00 as soon as I walk through the door. When I explained, "I just gave you $300.00 on Thursday," it didn't matter, they insisted they need the money for today's visit. The CT scan test was fine, just lay down breath in, hold it then breath out. A minute later I'm all done and I am a hundred dollars poorer. I stopped at Aldi on the way home and picked up $63.00 worth of groceries. Now we are $163.00 poorer but at least have food in the house.
It was hard to get moving once back. Ribbons paddock was just thrown a square bale in the morning and another this afternoon to hold them off. There is still enough hay to last them a couple of days, just I think they need a little better nutrition.
The picture below was snapped yesterday morning before the walk, Ayanna, Indy and Killian were all lined up hoping for someone to come along and pet them. Don't you just love Indy's tipped in ears?

Karin's vaulting team had a practice scheduled today, she came early and today pictures were taken of Jenis and Karin. They were working on side passes.



And the back view for Karin's sake:

Now I told her and told her she needs to brush out Jenis' tail if back end pictures are going to be taken. Today that didn't get done, yesterday that didn't get done, oh wait does it ever get done? Nope, only when we are getting ready for a show does anyone around here worry about manes and tails.
She was busy telling me why she is doing what as she is cantering around. That is not as easy as it looks, Jenis has a huge canter stride.


Karin finishes each horse's training up by letting them stand on the pedestal. Today as Karin was working Zalena she is taking her around the pedestal and Zalena tries to quick get on the pedestal. That mare was thinking, "if I get up now I can quit."
She finished up with the last mare as the vaulters started arriving.
Mark was late home today and we were almost late to church tonight but made it in time to sing the entire last song before the ministers went up. The day just seemed to fly by.
