Well, yesterday was ribs day! No we didn't eat ribs for dinner, though that would have fitted quite well!
We looked at how ribs help us or prevent us from moving in certain ways, and how to help our horse become as flexible on one side as the other, and ourselves too!!! I found it difficult with Dusty to get sideways motion...i think that's a LB thing. I'm so used to Lorraine moving sideways so easily.
I watched a fascinating session with Trevor and Julie(from England). She's never saddled a horse before and the horse she leased from Texas is pretty unconfident. So, Trevor spent a long time building up to the saddling, by first improving Julie's rope/pad/saddle skills and also desensitising the horse. It was awesome to watch! In the end, she managed to saddle her horse by herself! Brilliant!
In the evening Katie Drake came and did a small performance in the lodge, which was really cool. She's a great singer, and like all of the people here, very genuine and friendly.
No more bear sightings for now, but Charity(a room mate of mine) and I sat and watched a deer outside of our cabin for about 20 mins last night. We shone the torch through the window and watched. That was pretty cool.
I think today is trail riding day, but i'm not entirely sure! I guess i will find out in a little while.

still on the subject of bears..........is it usual there, as Dusty wasn't bothered by it? How did the locals react?
it's pretty normal later on in the season, but usually they are not around this early in the year. They reckon it was a yearling just kicked out by it's mum.
Locals are fine, they are just making sure none of the non-locals do anything stupid
