Humble underling here at the farm

It's a Tues night. I had a good day. The weather was amazing, cool and sunny.  It's about 40 now this evening.   It snowed in Idaho. I am grateful for California weather.  No wonder so many people live here although where I am is very rural.
The staff and Connie here at Lone Tree have been very tolerant of me while teaching me the ropes. The days go fast and I have no time to even talk on the phone except to family.  I sweep the aisle, organize tack, catch horses down the hill, ride them, groom them, prepare prize bags for hunter pace coming up this weekend, watch Connie teach, photograph babies, eat, sleep, practice voice, practice yoga, go to meetings in Modesto etc.  I am not inclined to stand around and chat much.  I keep moving.
I have kept my opinions to myself which has been a wonderful lesson. It is a new habit for me!  My job does not call for my opinion much.  My job is to follow directions and ride.  The horses that I ride are going well.
Here are descriptions of  some of them.

Banner is my horse that lives here with me. He is an 11 year old WB that I have owned for 5 years. He is chestnut and stands about 16.1hh. We competed our first Preliminary division event last weekend.  He was fearful in the beginning of the cross country course. He refused the 3rd jump once.  We recovered after that refusal and he went well.  His dressage and show jumping were very good.  Overall I am pleased with him and look forward to the event on November 7th at Galway Downs.
Maggie is an 8 yr old draft/Tb mare bay 16.2.  She has lop ears (good jumper) and is quite athletic and willing. I will ride her in the Hunter Pace here and then at another Ram Tap event BN.
Chloe is an Icelandic pony who I ride to condition for kids who come and ride her.  She is grey 13hh and the coolest pony ever . She loves to be pointed at a jump so she can head straight for it and jump it. She is kind and fun to tolt around on.
Rosie is a 10 yr old draft cross who has foxhunted for the gent that owns her.  I get to ride her in the Hunter Pace. I have to rev her up at first but she goes great once she realizes that I'm serious about her moving up and fwd.. She is sweet too.
Liam is the Irish Draught stallion here.  He is 16.3 chestnut.  He is very compliant and polite and sweet and I like him.  He is ridden in shows by Jon Michael a professional event rider who does a good job with him   My employer Connie Arthur rides him here at home and has trained him .He has an impressive disposition, body and is game to run and jump any chance he gets.

I miss my friends and family and dog. I speak with my supportive husband every day and he has been great.  I plan to see Anna and some other family here over TG weekend in bay area.

I have been taking voice lessons from a very capable and positive instructor in Oakdale named Annette Hutton.  She giving me exercises which I practice regularly. I am already amazed at the ease and confidence I get from these lessons. It has brought a new element into singing. Also I have been rehearsing guitar, banjo with foot tambourine.
God bless you all
