I haven’t updated this blog since I came back from Australia, but thanks to winter, I have free time again. This winter I am not adventuring in Australia, but I am living in a place almost as foreign to me… Arkansas/ Missouri. I will be working on my horse training skills this winter and hopefully I can use this blog to record, reflect, and get feedback on my potentially amusing adventures in the Ozarks. Today I spent the day getting reacquainted with the herds of mules and horses and meeting a few horses for the first time. The mules are amazingly amusing animals with their childish antics and good natured personalities. Seeing the herd of geldings was great fun. These are all horses we use in Yellowstone, so I know them well... though I was happier to see some of them more than others. I met the babies for the first time. They are giant for weanlings and so adorable and fuzzy. I can’t wait to get to know them better as I help halter break them.
I am excited to have arrived somewhere where I can be useful for the winter. As of right now I have yet to move into my new apartment; everything I own is in my little horse trailer. I don’t have a job yet. I know five or six people at most in this state. But things are definitely looking up! I have 75 horses I get to work with this winter. I have three great friends who are willing to help me out. I get to fulfill a life dream of mine and live in a barn! This should be a great winter.
