    Chapter 12

    Finally five min together to leave the thought that I absolutely loved the chapter! I also wonder about the lady in the park. Still a tad sceptical about sister dearest. If something seems too good to be true it usually is. Would hurt the boys tenfold if she pulls another about face. Well done my friend!
  2. happy day babe!
  3. I gave up trying to keep up with "young people" a long time ago! Problem is I can remember when they were trying to keep up with me!
  4. I guess being an older female who came of age in a male dominated timeframe gives me a different perspective. To me a lady captain using a predominantly male associated name comes across as minimizing the sexual prejudices. A friend of mine's name IS Julia, but professionally (she is a lawyer) she uses Jules.

    Chapter 11

    Looks like some of us were up waiting for your chapter to post! I like the changes in sister dearest, but I am a protective old lady. I still find myself suspicious of the speed of the turn around and the reasons behind it.
  6. Hi.
  7. I thought I was the only one who called a BLT a bacon salad sandwich! And as long as the salad outweighs the bacon, I call it healthy!
  8. LOL not the way it works when you deal with horses Tim! I'm free! No work till Saturday noontime!
  9. You were on time. He gets to swallow the loss of productivity. Hope you found a way to relax and enjoy the time.
  10. I'm saving that for relax time after my evening meeting.
  11. Iced tea, yes. Put my feet up? I wish. I am sitting though, editing and popping back when I get notice boxes in the corner.
  12. Woohoo, home by noon my time! only worked 7 hours on my "day off"!
  13. Lol that narrows it down to 3/4 of the state!
  14. Lol barn life starts early!
  15. Not so short when you consider I've been here for 2 hours and expect to be here at least three more.
  16. Well ty. In a holding pattern waiting on hay and grain deliveries. Once they show, I am done for the day.
  17. Morning peeps this side of the pond, afternoon to the ones east of me!
  18. Yep, as well as run a boarding facility, teach riding, and supply trailer services to shows.
  19. We start with horses with the right temperaments then work with them for several weeks teaching them to tolerate the apparatus and things like verbal and physical outbursts.
  20. With our program, yes there is quite a bit more. Before starting therapeutic riding, every client is seen by a study team consisting of a doc, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist and a certified therapeutic riding instructor and an IEP is developed. Then there are various physical and mental exercises to achieve the goals set in the IEP. We do things like weaving around cones and Rin tossing, playing catch, matching colors, stretching and balance work, and memory stuff by stringing tasks together. Takes a special horse not to freak out as balls and foam rings, or when an autistic child becomes agitated.
  21. Pretty good so far. Started a bit rough when a therapy client slapped her mom, but once we got her on the horse things smoothed out.
  22. Don't walk, RUN to the exit before someone comes up with something that absolutely positively has to be done
  23. Morning.
  24. Nicely thank you. Today is my late night at the barn, so work doesn't start till around 3 pm (Est). Just sort of goofing off and relaxing after a 15 he day at the horse show yesterday. By now should be about quitting time GMT. How was your day?
  25. Morning all, or I guess afternoon GMT.
