A Rude Awakening
2007-06-22 12:56:00 *hic*Well, well, well. I’m nursing a faint hangover today, and a bulging belly full of delicious pasta from last night. That indicates a good night.What I did not expect was the violin man standing next to our table and wailing mournfully at us.And I didn’t expect to lose my shoe somewhere underneath the table and have the four of us on our hands and knees searching for it only to find it was in my handbag.I certainly didn’t expect the toxic cocktails with their little umbrellas or the man who made rude hats out of balloons, or indeed, wearing such a balloon on my head along a busy road. And I absolutely did not anticipate witnessing a young puppy-love couple being escorted out of the restaurant for getting a tad carried away or two of our party tripping down the stairs in a sort of dominoe effect.And there was no way I knew I’d be eating dinner with Prince Harry at the neighbouring table. Although it may not have been him, it could have been my imagination.No siree, I didnâ...

So I've finished the breeding season with Thoroughbreds and with its end, have moved from work back to the parents place for the next five months or so with the view to get work in a riding school and achieve my Level 1 in instructing. It was a given the horse work wasn't going to be a problem - I've worked with and studied them for the past four years.... and on the ground am happy, confident and capable. In the saddle, I'm happy on my own horse and any other that behaves... Anyone spot the problem I may have with becoming an instructor? Then again, they say if you can't do it, teach it. So my riding I thought may be the area I most needed to work on and it was pointed out in an interview not too long ago that this is definitely the case and perhaps at this point in time I'm biting off more than I can ch...
