...maybe I could then ride during a thunderstorm...but alas I cannot. Everyday it seems to storm right when I get off work. The worst weather being up north and near the mountains where the stable Millie is kept at.
I called Terri today and let me know I couldn't make it out and that I would pay the $25 for the next month to have her find someone to muck the stall. She deducted that from the lease since I was willing to muck when I went out. I just can't risk going out when there is lightning going all through the sky and landing near the mountains just above the Flying W. I don't like to risk it when the clouds are nearby, lightning in Colorado is nothing to mess with out here, even on a blue sky day with a nearby dark cloud I've seen bright bolts of lightning appear from nowhere. Better to be safe.
It still means I've paid a lot of money to not get a lot of riding in. Most Sundays have been fine since I have all day to make it out there, it's just the darned weekday when I have a window of a few hours at the most. Uge. I only have myself to blame. I settled for a horse lease when the facility lacked an indoor arena, so I'm a victim of nature and her ways. I sometimes feel like I just washed the money down the drain everytime the rain pours out of the skies. Terri will try and work with me to let me have some make up days when the weather is better so we'll see what happens.
