The Schweitzer family is in San Miguel from Philadelphia for a few weeks. Avital, age 10, Danielle, 8, and Lindsey, 6, are taking their first riding classes with Nicole. Lindsey was so frightened of animals, she wouldn't get out of the cab on the day of their first class. She finally decided Brandy was nice enough to get on. Now she is riding with a confidence nobody would have ever predicted.
Retta gets really furry in the winter and has a hard time shedding all her hair in the spring. It was time for a shave. Nicole and Apple, who has been riding Retta every day since late January, shaved Retta's legs, then Apple's name in Retta's side. Then the electric shaver gave out. So Retta will bear Apple's name until a replacement can be found.
Tomorrow is the schooling show! Some have been been practicing all week, and some of the participants are only arriving in San Miguel today from Easter vacation travels in the United States. We're trying to be relaxed about everything! Carla will ride three horses at Level Two - her Lucky and Lucinda's Cimarron and Tesora. Sean practiced on a jumpy Andale today. Apple and Isobel will ride at Level Debuntantes before they go back to Maine next week.
