The Game Fair concluded on Sunday, allowing life to go back to some semblence of normal. The Fair was fun though. It was a lot like the summer festivals I went to in North Dakota. There were booths and games, our stable put on a demonstration of western horsemanship. There was a group of historical re-enactors, Picts I think. I wish I could have seen more, but one of the horses we brought needed constatn supervision once the crowds came through.
Other than that, things are pretty good. We are settling back into what I consider to be the normal routine: feeding and mucking and riding. We had the farrier come out to work on a few more horses. We also had my first set of visitors for a trek. I stayed and kept working on the stables as the two more experienced riders of the interns, Gia and Jennifer, took them out on a several hours long trail ride.
I have also adopted a pet project. One of the horses, Mariposa, needs some serious hands on time. She is a two year old palimino filly who currently objects to humans. She runs away from everyone. The few times I have gotten close, she nearly panics when I reach out to touch her. My project is to turn her into a model prospect for when she starts properly training. That is my goal.
