I noticed on her message board last week that she was asking for helpers for her Perfect Manners course not far from home this weekend. As Cherry is still out on loan and I wasn't planning on seeing my granddaughter, I emailed her to offer my services and got accepted .
I have had a lovely time, just being in the background to the students - tea and coffee making, bringing horses in from the field, grooming and caring for them, taking them back and forth to the round pens for their 5-minute stints, as well as observing a heck of a lot and sitting in on lectures. Kelly is lovely and I felt really welcomed - by all the team actually.
It WAS hard work but completely enjoyable and I wouldn't hesitate to offer to help again.
I'm tired but happy - what a shame it's back to work tomorrow!!!
