Oh my Gosh! The end of week 3!!!

I can't believe that I have been gone from home for almost one month already, and I hear that everyone is missing me, including my sweet little kitten!

Today we were at one of the ranches all day (we started at 8:45 and neither Chelsea or me wanted to get up this morning!), the weather was beautiful today; a little cloudy this morning but it cleared up this afternoon with threatening thunder showers in the afternoon. The showers passed all around us, but we never got wet... it made me feel right at home! We had an early (and long) lunch today and ended early because we ran out of horses to massage! The ranch was more busy than they had expected and the horses were standing saddled ready for the next riding groups to arrive!

I worked on 2 horses today, first Tyree a really cute little grey/blue roan pony. He is quite old and only has to carry children in his old age! When I was working on him I was drawn to his hind end, like there was something going on there and when I got over top of his pelvis and started to work there was an odd popping coming from the SI joint... when I finished there I moved up to his shoulders and neck and then back again to re-assess his hind end and the popping had subsided!!! Yay!!! It was interesting to be drawn to this area first, as we usually tend to start on the shoulders (this is where we started our learning, 3 weeks ago!!! Oh my gosh!!!)

This afternoon I worked on Ricochet, he is a really amazing horse, a ~16.1 hand Palomino Gelding. I had worked on him once before and I found it really hard, he didn't want to give me his attention at all that day and I began to get frustrated. Today however, it was like working on a totally different horse! He was at my attention all day and did everything that I asked, I still had trouble working on this head and neck but this was even better than the prevous day, it is so nice to see the changes that happen between treatments!

Tonight I made Asparagus and Chicken Fettuccine Pasta for dinner and now we are going to watch "No Reservations" and then we will get to sleep in tomorrow morning!!!

Have a wonderful night and I will post tomorrow!

Ciao Bella

Love Sara XXO
