Equine Update

So, Saturday I got to my equine therapy group, and immediately the instructor ran to me and hugged me and asked what the heck had happened the previous week.

I explained to her the happening that I told y'all about, and felt a little silly, as if I may be over reacting. I even told her as much.
"I was just stressed with wrapping up my school year, looking for a new job, and I didn't realize it at the time, but I had PMS."

"Oh, you aren't the first to complain, and it isn't just the volunteers!"

We kibitzed. Evidently, a participant's mother moved her to our other stable, even though it is further away, and changed nights to get away from this weirdo.
She's been trying to take over the foundation and run it her own way.
She set her sites on one of our favorite, and best volunteers, Cowboy Cal. The director told her repeatedly that Cal (who is probably old enough to be her father, or close to it) was happily married to a great woman.
Cal must have picked up on it and not been comfortable with it, because he brought his wife that week she stood in for us. Now I know why he did that!
When my e-mail was received, according to the instructor, the director stated that I am golden and the crazy lady must go. (Awwwww!)

The Saturday instructor has 3 weekend out of town this summer, but has two of them covered. She said that maybe they would have to ask the crazy horsey-lady. The volunteer coordinator said no way would she allow that, because if I wasn't happy, she would be unhappy, and no one can be happy with crazy horsey-woman. The director agreed and rearranged her schedule to work that weekend. (Awwwww!)

The director said she didn't realize just what a dynamic group we are until the crazy horsey-woman came around. She knew she had to get rid of crazy horsey-woman, but didn't know how to go about it.
Crazy horsey-woman's horsey senses must have picked up on it, because she suggested that she need not work for us.
There was much rejoicing at the stable.

The other weirdo who is a crazy-horsey-woman-in-training is nothing to worry about. As it happens, she works with another equine group, and is training with us because we are bigger and are known for our excellence. She might be with us this Saturday, but after that, she is done and goes back to her own equine therapy group.

While I felt relief in my heart, the instructor showed it in her face and voice.

Maybe I am a witch, not being accepting of these newbies, but at least I am in good company!
