My last week at Sheepcote

Hello! I can't believe my working time abroad is almost over! It seems like I've been away from home for a looooooooooooong time, yet it also feels like I just got here! It's going to be tough to leave Sheepcote as I really like it here, and the people here are a blast to be around but I'm also very excited to get back home to familiar faces and places. I know it'll be tough but I'm going to try to keep in touch with the great people that I've met while at Belmont and Sheepcote as they've made my time away what it has been. 

It's been a fairly busy last week with Serena and Lucy competing at the Nationals but it's back to normal now on the farm.  Both Lucy and Serena did well last week at the show and it was nice to get an afternoon off this week to go watch at the show without having to groom. :) The group of us went back to the show on Friday evening for the gala which had some fun performances to music as well as a demo from Carl Hester on young horses and some of the things he considers when purchasing an upper level dressage prospect. 

I don't really have too much to write about this past week haha.  Things just go along as normal on the farm, and because of the show, we didn't get many lessons this week so it's been pretty busy to get horses ready to leave, then low key until they get back at the end of the day. 

I'm looking forward to when mom gets here on Friday, and I leave for London Friday morning. The girls here have told me that we HAVE to check out Oxford St for shopping while in London so hopefully we get a chance to take a stroll down there among other places haha. :) 

Just enjoying my last day off here at Sheepcote. I've had a nice sleep in (as per usual on my day off here) and I've just been doing laundry today and of course will have to do some more on Wednesday to prepare for the next few weeks with mom.  So far, no one I've come across here has clothes dryers... so we really have to plan ahead for doing laundry to make sure the clothes will be dry by the time we need them! Well, time to get off the computer and go change over the laundry!
