Today a man who owns a bulldozer came (at my request) to give us an estimate on levelling a spot for a horse arena. His prices were good, so I am hoping that Jim will let us do this. It really is a win/win thing for the bikers and horse people. When he moves the topsoil off the arena area, there will be LOTS of dirt for the boys to build bigger and better jumps with. I think the most costly thing about an arena is the sand. If we had a 120ft x 70ft arena size and wanted 4inches of sand on all of it, it may take about 20 dump truck loads of sand to get that. So, maybe we will have to doze the area this year and put sand in it next year!
I got a call from Canada Post for an interview about a job I had applied for. This is working for the post office, which is a government job. It is a part time job, which is good, but it is every weekday morning for 1 hour. I am hoping if I get it, I can get my foot in the door for a better job there. They pay very good. Another company who helps handicapped adults live independently in the community asked me to work for them. We are just working out the details and that job. It is a relief staff position, so I can pick and choose my shifts. It is also a Christian organization, which seems very responsible about who works for them.
We had someone ask us to find them a pony. It is a couple who are very wealthy and have a granddaughter they want to buy a pony for. They really wanted to buy Princess, but we had already sold her. I apologized to them about already selling her and asked them if they wanted me to find and train another one for them. They said they did. Hopefully, we can make a good profit from this deal and finish our arena this year. (Lets see, Leah and I could call ourselves "The Pony Gals" and start our own business of buying and selling ponies!)
