More Monday on Friday

Well, by now you all know how my weeks been, so it will not come as a surprise when I tell you that the cable pulling the ferry to our island broke yesterday!!! Now, this is an ISLAND so without ferry no-go-nowhere! The cable broke with Ben on one side and me waiting to pick him up on the other, ferry stuck in the middle of the channel.

To make matters worse, the bus Ben took to get there was taken out of duty and wouldn´t let him ride back to town. He had to wait for another bus to pick him up some 40 minutes later and take him back to his mothers. The cable was repaired at 2 AM so now it´s up and running again, thank god.

Today however was a good one. The horses are behaving and we had a solid workout today, Brady and I. Worked on some basic stuff first, stopping, drawing, turning etc and then turned a few cows in the snow. He was ok and I can´t wait for the snow to melt so we can really get down to business!
