Confetti and I have not seen an awful lot of eachother during the daylight hours lately – honestly, all this month.  Work has had some unexpected challenges (and my job is generally predictable!) and I’ve been working late most days.  Combined with the early darkness and occasional rain.. well.

We’re doing a lot of round penning in the dark/by headlamp/by moonlight.  Sometimes I get on afterwards.  Sometimes I don’t.  We don’t have arena lights; the photo on the left is taken next to one of the only paddock-sets with inside lighting.

The second photo is a little more representative of my normal these days.

  Glow-in-the-dark hair, solitary barn laps in near-total darkness lit solely by whatever moonlight there is.

I finally have today off work.  There’s a long list of things I should do, but instead, once it warms up, I’ll be heading to the barn.  We’re going for a Real Ride.
