High Hopes Journal: Visit 3

(TS)I was especially excited to go volunteer today because of a simple phone call. (SD)Laura, one of the instructors had given me a call over the weekend to say welcome to High Hopes. (CM)She also called to tell me that I had been assigned to a lesson and I should be ready to help on saturday.(CM)Unfortunatly, I got replaced in the lesson with another volunteer at the last second and was assigned to do barn work again.(SD)I was not particually happy with this arrangement, but I told myself that every little thing done is a big help.(CM)I was told to sweep the isle ways and clean out some stalls.(CM)Most people do not like this job, but its a great opportunity to watch and listen. I have learned so much just by watching other people, and it can be very helpfull.(SD)At the end though, I did get to bring out one of the horses, Cassidy.(CM)Cassidy is one of the older, slower horses reserved for beginner riders. He is very sweet and gental and is one of the favorites at High Hopes.(CS)Though I again felt like I didn't help a lot, i got to do something new and bring out one of the horses. This was one more task that I was trusted to do, and the next will probably be even better.
