In a relationship or single, Valentine's Day is in any case THE day when we can enjoy our loved ones or friends.
An opportunity to organize a little dinner or a movie with the people we love.
The Valentine's Day of normal people
- 7:30 PM: We leave work
- 8:00 PM: We slip into an oil bath to relax
- 8:15 PM: We start the blow-dry, makeup, and put on a nice outfit
- 8:45 PM: Arrival at the restaurant with the obligatory five minutes of delay, Jules is waiting for us with a nice glass of wine...
But let's admit it, as riders, our Valentine's Day looks more like this...
- 7:30 PM: We leave work
- 8:00 PM: We rush to the stables to take Tornado out exceptionally in 40 minutes before running to the restaurant
- 8:40 PM: Tornado was in the paddock this morning, so we spent 40 minutes trying to find a semblance of a pony under a ton of mud
- 8:45 PM: "Since we're here, we might as well ride for 20 minutes"
- 9:30 PM: Big mistake... Tornado was completely crazy; after 25 minutes of bucking, we finally had a semblance of relaxation at 9:10 PM. Time for a walk now while he calms down from his emotions.
- 9:45 PM: After his crazy moment, Tornado is soaked. We've been waiting for 15 minutes for him to dry while he gives us puppy eyes for his tenth carrot
- 10:00 PM: Tornado is dry, but his box mate Tequila, a little Shetland pony one meter tall, the little terror of the neighborhood, has just escaped.
- 10:15 PM: The fugitive is caught, but we've lost our keys
- 10:17 PM: After turning our locker upside down, the keys are finally found in one of the fifteen pockets of our 4 sweaters and coats...
- 10:45 PM: We head home: Jules, used to it, is waiting for us with a nice Uber Eats in front of the latest episode of Game Of Thrones and a nice package Ohlala Sellerie!
And you, what does your Valentine's Day look like?
