Today was a very interesting day. It started by my waking up at 6:20 with one eye swollen shut. I called Kelley (the head honcho while Emma is away) and got her permission to miss this morning at the barn, and drove to the Jennersville Hospital to get things checked out. Turns out I got a bacterial infection in my eye. Awesome. The thing that really ooks me out is the fact that there has been an eye “thing” spreading around the horses that I’ve been treating lately. Sick.

After my ER excitement this morning, I made it to work with a slightly sore eye and a lot of commentary from the barn folks! Just a minor setback 🙂

Nina came to watch all of her horses today, so that was an adventure! I was elected to set jumps, so I worked through 9 horses of different jump heights. I enjoyed watching the horses jump, as I’m usually stuck in the barn area most of the day and don’t get to see the horses go. They’re pretty talented!

Jennie finished her rides today and headed off to join Phillip at Burghley through a grant she was given. We are all pretty jealous! We found out today that after day 1 of the dressage, Phillip is in first.. at BURGHLEY!! You can definitely tell that everyone who works here is pretty proud.

After work, I looked at a mare at Bruce Davidson’s barn for a possible fun project while I get Sully going. As with everything else, the more you look around the better, so I’m still keeping my eyes open for a good little project horse.

Time for bed!
