In the morning I rode Stinker, and it was a so so ride. We were just walking on the hills, so I didn't have stirrups on my saddle. The electric fence was making a popping noise and Stinker decided teleporting was the best option. I lost my seat and very nearly ate dirt. I was far enough off the side that I was wishing for my stirrups. Luckily he didn't add a spin or a bolt to the teleport, so I was able to slide back in the saddle.
The rest of the ride was pretty meh. I was struggling to maintain his focus and he really wanted to go. I think I am going to have to change his work schedule up. He has way too much energy since his turnout time was reduced from 15ish hours to 8ish hours. After the ride I helped clean some stalls to burn off the dinner.
I am very lucky to have an awesome BO that invited me and another girl to Thanksgiving dinner at his mother-in-law's sister's house. So, my afternoon was spent at her place eating way too much food (excellent) and making polite conversation (not so great at). Then I came home and started plotting all the things I was going to buy...
Sounds like a fabulous turkey day!! And I can't wait to see what everyone buys - vicarious living through other bloggers FTW! Lol
