Hey everyone, how are ya?! I am still doing well here in Mallorca. The weather has still been beautiful during the days, but it is definitely getting colder at night. I feel like I am being somewhat of a baby because it is only getting down to about 40 degrees at night here so far, and I know home is getting WAY colder than that!! I had a wonderful birthday; we had a huge bbq with about 20 people and delicious, abundant food. There was three different kinds of cakes and loads of meats and salads, it was really awesome. I haven't done anything really new lately, although the veterinarian came on Tuesday night and gave all the horses vaccinations. Apparently here in Europe, after they have vaccines, they are not allowed to be ridden or worked for two days, so Julianna and I have been keeping ourselves busy cleaning and doing other things. Last night we had a couple arrive and they seem really nice, and are interested in riding horses but are both beginners, the husband WAY more apprehensive with the horses than the wife. Today we gave them each a lesson and just took it really easy on the horses so that they didn't sweat. I guess the main concern with the vaccines and working the horses is that if they sweat, the vaccine will flow to quickly through their body and deactivate... weird but that's what they do here! The vet is kind of different, and seems like she is just in it to get through, not so much that she enjoys what she is doing, but to each their own I suppose. I included a couple pictures of the couple here that we gave lessons to, as well as another couple that is keeping their stallion and gelding here so they can go on excursions for a few days while the weather is nice. The stallion has made quite an impact here with the mares as well as the geldings : ) None of the horses seem to know quite what to do with this screaming horse in their stall area. Anyway, I can't think of anything else new. Abraixo is doing great, Julianna rode him a few days back because I am still too chicken... he did really well though but she did say he is a little more difficult to ride than she had expected. He requires a lot of leg pressure and english-style hands (which I am not confident yet with my own), and has a bad habit of bending to the outside with circles, which can feel a little out of control. BUT I am going to ride him next week so I will totally take pictures!! I guess tomorrow Julianna and I are going on an excursion with the couple with the stallion and gelding so that should be awesome! I should seriously learn their names before we go... : ) I will upload more new pics soon! XOXO love and miss everyone!
