So, I arrived on Monday at 1 pm, and here in Mallorca it's 7 hours ahead of WA so that has been quite an adjustment!!!! It is beautiful here, and such a change!! The way they do everything here is so different from home, especially regarding horse care. All I can say is that our horses in the states are SOOOO spoiled, as well as the people!!! We cut our own alfalfa here out in the field with a scythe, like what they use in murder-type movies or something, you should look it up... It is great here though, and there is a sweet girl named Katie from North Carolina here helping me get used to all the chores and such, so that has been a massive help. The pictures are of the place we are staying. Generally, we would stay at an apartment on the property where I am working, but they all got rented out, so Katie and I are staying at a gorgeous bed and breakfast down the road. Its amazing as you can tell from the pictures! We will be there till Friday and then come back to the finca (dont super know what that means yet, I think a farm type place that is rural) and I will post pictures then! I miss everyone but think this will be an awesome experience as well as work-outs!!
wow!!!!! it's so beautiful there. keep up the good work yo. we miss ya here in wa too ; )
ReplyDeleteFrom: Dad! That's crazy stuff Malli!You're right, we are spoiled. There must be a huge cost to not only ship a piece of equipment to your location, but then you have to feed it fuel! Probably much more cost effective having folks like yourself take care of the work! Just incredible! This blog you have is terrific. Loved seeing the pictures! BE SAFE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom:Dad -- Sounds like you have your work cut out for you Malli! Those horses look like a handful. Are they really that different in regards to temperment than horses back home? I wonder if that has to deal with the fact that there are only so many horses on that island so the genetics are confined. Probably, it's the type or breed of the animal. Sure happy to hear your doing something that makes use of your talents as working with horses. I'm wondering if you will convert to an english rider? Will hve to buy you a new pair of boots! Have fun and be safe! The pictures are wonderful!
