So, yesterday was kind of interesting. I can't wait to see what today brings.

I found out some stuff:
1) My beautiful, oft-complimented, wonderfully smart and spirited mare was scheduled to be sent to slaughter just after I started riding her because no one could stay on. Lori put me on her to show that she could be ridden by someone, so that Frank wouldn't have her made into dogfood. Close call, huh?
2) That little shit aforementioned pulled a stunt yesterday- 3 days she's stood with her foot in a bucket for an hour or more no problem while I stand next to her and clean tack. I set her up yesterday the same way I always do, told her to stand and went to go to the bathroom at the end of the aisle. I glanced back once or twice and saw her looking back at me. All of a sudden, there's a crash and water splashing sounds. She'd kicked the bucket! Threw it down the aisle. "If you're not going to stand here, then I'm not, either!" LMAO
3) I told Rich that I felt awkward because I as putting forth all the effort and that if he was hanging out just because he's a nice guy, that's great but it's not necessary. He told me that wasn't the case and promptly attempted to ask me if I'd rather he came to Gansett instead of me going to Bville. Of course, I was already headed to Bville, so the answer was no, but.. good try. LoL
