Horse Whisperer

I have read a lot of books on techniques of training horses with different methods. Today I got to see first hand some of those techniques performed right in front of me with my horse Izzy (picture above). The man that is helping me is the farrier that my friend put me in touch with. He is amazing. He is a talented young man and is helping me for the sake of helping me. I don't think I could afford him if he charged me. We just started working with her a week ago and he is coming back next week and is talking about working her under saddle already. He said that Izzy is a very smart girl and the fact that I worked her almost everyday last week we got a gold star at our second class. So much of my life right now is dragging me down it was so nice to have something to be excited about for a change. To be able to pop into my dream world of horses for a little while is better than any therapy I couldn't afford anyway.

Well poof I must enter the world of reality and get moving on the letter I have to write to the superintendent for my unpaid leave of absence. I keep forgetting I am a contract employee and you have to follow what it says. I think that contract, at least for a support staff position, is more of a pain than a help. I guess my job really helped with the bills because this is the second check I am not getting and am feeling the pinch. I think I will go out and shovel horse crap and procrastinate a little longer on the letter.
