Day 14~

Today was a very rainy, boring day. After tending to Nero and truning him out to pasture, we prepped and worked Ding in the Aqua-fit. Since those are the only two horses in the barn at the moment, we spent the rest of the day cleaning in preparation for the Hartpury College Open House which is taking place this Saturday (June 4th). The open house is going to be a big event where thousands of people come to veiw the facilities all across the campus from the sports (rugby and soccer/futbol) academy to the cattle/sheep farm, to the stud/stallion farm, to the Equestrian Center (including therapy). That is why all the cleaning and painting has been going on! I was originally hoping to take a trip to the West Super Mare (the western coast line of the UK) but I think that trip might be cancelled unfrotunately. I also think my London day trip might  be cancelled for Sunday which I will be very disappointed in, but I will stop in at Student Services tomorrow and ask. After lunch, Tilly, Fiz, and I worked in the office organizing papers and creating a mailing list of clients to advertise for the special Equine Therapy Center Open House which will not be until June 25th. Then we excercised Ding on the high-speed treadmill and I hand-walked Nero for about 30 minutes. I was very pleased to get off work today and be able to skype with Brad (he's buying a webcam! yay!). Now that my mood is significantly lighter and the sun is coming out, I feel refreshed after this boring work-day. Tonight I will watch the 5th Harry Potter movie, hopefully finish a book, and call my parents! I hope you all had a wonderful memorial day weekend, I thought of you often and the beautiful, hot weather that you are blessed with. I can't wait to return and work on my tan that is fading in this country - well, maybe soon it will warm up here too and I will be able to get out more! This trip has been a good one so far and much needed to teach me more about myself. Thanks for reading, until tomorrow!
