New saddle

I ordered a saddle last week for Kadance. It came in and I was all excited to get it and take it to the barn and see how it fit. Unfortunately, it snowed. So, I had to wait until today to try it out.

Kadance doesn't care in the least. She was most interested in playing with the girth strap. Actually, to be more accurate, she was most interested in playing with the packaging that came with the girth strap. Silly filly.

Everything went well. Even better than I had expected. The trainer has done a very good job with her. I am pleased. Now, I can't wait for my knee to heal to the point that I can actually ride my horse. Only 6 more weeks...

Accepted

I received my acceptance packet from St. John's College of Nursing. Now, the process begins.

Among other documents I had to sign, I had to sign authorization for drug testing. I have no problem with being tested. I don't use illicit substances. It makes sense as working in a hospital does present a certain amount of availability. But, shoot. I can't remember simple conversations I had when I was on the hydrocodone for my knee. How in the word can people function, much less take exams while on narcotics?
