Gettin' Giddy

For some odd reason I'm practically giddy.

Maybe it was the fact I got to play outside in the beautiful warm weather yesterday.

Maybe it is the fact I have today off.

Maybe it is the fact this weekend is the South Dakota Horse Fair (which is only marred by a discussion about horse slaughter and keeping horses identified as livestock). The Horse Fair is my spring horse fix.

Maybe it is the fact that Mike was able to get the tractor out last night and push some of the big piles of manure into one gigantic pile so I now have more room to feed and less to deal with one shovel at a time.

Maybe it's just a combination of all of the above. In any case I'll take it!

The Horse Fair starts today at 1pm so I'll be heading on over in a few hours to scope everything out. I don't think there's as many speakers or activities that I want to look at this year. But I do like going on Fridays to get some of the deals at the used tack vendor. I think it's the Youth Appaloosa Club booth that always has used tack. I love that booth. I always seem to buy something from that booth.

The Horse Fair is the first time in the new year where I can be inundated with horses and horse stuff. I love it! Of course I don't always like the people that walk through but for the most part I can weave through the crowds and enjoy everything.

Now if the weather would only clear up and let the sun shine. But I guess I might as well enjoy the next two cloudy days since I'll be inside. I was thinking of going on Sunday too but they are talking sun on Sunday so I might as well enjoy the nice weather and stay home. I really want to get some things done at home. And with the warmer weather I'm finally itching to get on the back of a horse and ride. I really need to start working with the boys again to get them in shape. All in due time! But for now, I'm going to go and get my horse fix. I'll try to blog about it later!
