2 weeks at the Parelli Ranch

As I'm just finishing up my second week here at the ranch, so much has changed, that its time for another blog update!  I've settled in to my permanent "home away from home" here, a Luxury Rv trailer that I share with 1 other working student and 2 externs(for now! as more students come, that is subject to change).  We have been having a great time settling in and getting to know our new digs.  It turns out, there's all sorts of rules for living in an RV, like how you shower and what toilet paper you use!  As I have never lived in an RV before, this is all completely new to me, so I'm going to have to remember everything so I don't mess up!   I've gotten things sorted with my horse, he should be picked up Monday morning if everything goes as planned, and be dropped off Tuesday afternoon.  I'm not going to relax until I get the phone call that he's on the trailer though, because I know my horse!  I wish I could just explain to him why he needs to come down here and live with me, because I'm not coming back home to live for a long time.  I'm sure if I could tell him that, he would hop right on, because my grandparents said he stares over the fence and whinnies for his "herd-mate" all the time.  But I'm just going to trust my shipper, who sounds fabulous, and hope that they load him all right.  I've been making some friends here, which has been fun, and having some great times creating funny stories with them.  For instance, there has been a velociraptor siting on campus, and she happens to be my roommate!  I'm missing my fiance and our dog terribly, but hopefully I will get to go home for the holidays and see them both!  Anyways, I'm off to bed because we have a huge list of things to do tomorrow morning!

  1. I'm crossing fingers that your horse loaded easily and made it just fine to FL!
