We did have a nice ride. Spooked up an owl. Lady jumped and L squealed so Sadie went sideways one stride and I saw a cool owl taking off from the ground. It must have caught a mouse a bit before we were coming and was eating on the ground instead of taking the mouse to a post or tree to eat. Very cool since L stayed on, both horses relaxed after single jumps and the owl was OK. One of those 'should have a helmet cam' moments as it would have been cool to get the image of the owl but oh well.
L is so funny, she was on high alert that the owl would be back in that spot or we would startle another one even though Lady had been pretty good, just jumping forward and not doing anything that dumped her. That somewhat paranoid mindset from L is why it was so relaxing for me to have Lady go off to summer camp, but L is really appreciating her now. Poor L, she not only had shingles, she thought she might have been bitten by a bat and so when she was in FL and having pain and a rash on the arm that had bite marks and those staff did not think about shingles she ended up doing the rabies vaccine series JIC, and after deciding it was shingles with her doc in CO she reads that it can be dangerous to do the rabies series if you have a viral infection, and she did have some numbness or something, slight risk but could get a serious condition that could cause paralysis.
I will go to work today in the office. My normal route goes by the airport the NG is using for helicopter evacuations but if it seems busy I can always go around that bit and I need to able to work effectively. I have a feeling our retreat location will have to be moved. Pretty sure we were going to Estes Park and since the town flooded quite thoroughly I don't see how the hotel could be hosting conventions again in 3.5 weeks.
