Every things been in an uproar the past two days. D was riding a 3yo colt yesterday afternoon and the colt tripped. Somehow in the process (weather he hit the ground or fell into the wall or smacked his elbow on one of the support beams..) D cracked his elbow into 3 pieces. I went to the barn last night and helped the kids that were still there do chorse. D had lessons that night and when C had to rush him to the hospital, the kids pitched in and started night feed. They took him to a city hospital today to do surgery on it.
Tonight I went out to find one kid there working her ass off, and another kid finishing up with her horse. I started helping doing feed, thinking that the kid with her horse was going to help as well, nope, she even kicked her horse outside so that we had to go and get him again 20 min later! So me and a 12 yo finished chores for the night, a couple who's daughter is leasing a horse there (and are old friends) showed up shortly after we finished feeding and helped us bring horses in.
The worst part is that there were supposed be 2 male adults doing the feeding or at least helping us. Neither bothered to show up. Makes me worried about whats going to happen tomorrow morning.................. What if C cant make it back to the barn? Will those idiots finally show up?
I did have time to ride last night in my English saddle which needs to go into the wider gullet AGAIN! I had an ok ride, but his canter to the left was crappy. Tonight I went out and he had popped a squashy swelling about an inch long on his right hind leg so something was going on the other night... the footing in the indoor is as hard as rock...

I hope the guys showed up this morning! Geez, not even showing up the night before is a bit worrisome to say the least. That 12 year old that helped with chores rocks, though. Looks like her parents did a good job on the "responsibility" front. Hope your boy is OK!
