I had a very nice lesson with Anna today at the Mid south dressage academy. First, I got to see Anna ride a "very different" horse. He refused to bend. It was crazy. He is a beautiful horse, however. Susan owns him and she is very proud of him. Then an accupuncturist was there and she worked on Susan's horse and also was working on a horse with some leg problems. It was wild seeing all of those needles out of the horses. We then warmed up. Wally has a new saddle and it is a memory foam saddle. It was an absolute dream to ride in. We mostly worked on my turning. Of course, turning a percheron horse is not an easy feat. I haven't been in the saddle for about 3 weeks. I have a lesson scheduled with her on Monday. I am a bit sore today. My goal is to get to the gym and work out and try some pilates to help stretch out my muscles so I won't be stiff in the saddle.
Yesterday while flipping channels I came across the animal planet program Last chance highway. This lady who happens to live in Olive branch, MS. Takes strays in or shelter dogs and sends them to the North for adoptions. Shelly Bookwater is a realtor by trade but her passion is dogs. It is so much fun watching the different signs they show on the program in which I am familiar. A gentleman named Kyle actually does the transporting in a huge trailor. I love love love this program. Immediately set your tivo's to record it.
I am so excited for the weekend. I am going to get Pam for us to do a little shopping. Steve's old band is playing at Bobbo's tonight so we are going to listen to them play. Church tomorrow (I hope).
