nick got bucked off a horse i'm borderline homeless can't push things we'll miss the ally [Music] we got back from tennessee about 16 hours ago it is saturday early afternoon and it is time to get out and start getting the trails ready for the trail ride coming up in just a couple weeks while we're going through our trail and there's a tree in the way so we'll have to cut it up [Music] [Music] [Music] nate is mowing the area up here at uncle tom's cabin [Music] our lunch stop on saturday of the ponytail trail beautiful view from up here [Music] so so [Music] [Music] doug just got here with his fancy chmancy [Music] thing [Music] now he's gonna start putting in the driveway this morning we had some gravel delivered we're going to be extending our driveway from i don't know the area here outside of nate's shop back towards the pastures back there we wanted to do it for a while it's kind of a pain in the butt in the winter it gets really muddy and slippery and icy but the main reason we're getting it done right now is because we got the trail ride happening this weekend and we're going to be camping people back there so they need a road or a driveway or whatever to get back there to camp he's also going to do some maintenance on one of our round pens and clean up the dam of sand that is producing swamp ponytails exciting day [Music] [Music] what are you guys up to we are cleaning out this storage area so we can get out the sand to fill in ponytail swamp and then i'm not sure what this will be could be storage so swamp ponytails has become enormous especially with all the rain it goes way under here way to the other side say hi ray hello who you got this is elma the main problem is this pile of sand right here damning everything up the frogs aren't going to be happy you're stronger than you are so just post them up anyone got peanuts he's like they're not peanuts i guess they'll work oh maybe he's over the fritos is that pretty salty i grab the side-by-side and throw them in the back of it okay keep watching oh what are you doing recess i'm out here getting photos of mr reese's reese's pieces and joey feels the need to be involved isn't that right jojo [Music] what do you think [Laughter] his tongue is sticking out he does that when he's like that it's weird he's like i'm done oh he's coming look at that [Laughter] what are you guys about to do we are going to go and check and make sure all the signs are still there for the sunday part of the ponytail trail ride we're gonna chime it out because she doesn't usually open the valley until later in the day she's opening up early for our trail ride so we're gonna give her a roundabout time when she can expect the riders to start rolling in i'm riding princeton who nate is supposed to be riding on the trail ride just to see how he does yeah and i'm riding boink my uh personal adoption from ponytail it'll be his first time going on a longer trail ride so we'll see how all this goes all right water crossings and all sorry we also have a trailer lined up in case your musk gets broken yeah emergency the ambulance helmets on oh there's water follow the signs off we go a lady at the grocery store came up to me when i was checking out and gave gave me these and said take them home for horse treats well that was nice that was very nice thank you lady at the grocery store rolled up to work the first thing i saw is mitty sunbathing [Music] she looks so peaceful good morning mid let's go to your secret spot [Music] and what do you have down there um nicely rope and then the one that i bring and use gotcha do people mess with your secret spot awesome necklace well here we are at the valley tavern the lunch stop beverage stop on sunday of our trail ride coming up september 5th will be the day we're taking this ride and here comes danny and ray they're about eight miles into the trail ride doing the test run see how long it takes um looks like we've got 12 legs coming our way that aren't broken so that's pretty exciting and no heads seem to be broken we'll find out how it went hi boink he just wants to go really he's not pooped out well that's what he was doing yeah princeton about six miles for him to calm down that is he celebrated well everyone appears to be alive oh yeah timing wise that was two hours and 23 minutes yeah about two and a half it's probably 220 without our water issue yeah yeah and people are going to have issues right so ally this is your final week at ponytails the summer is coming to an end and you're starting school soon what have been your thoughts about your summer here so far my summer here so far has been awesome it's been super fun great adventure allie is just soaking wet i've had been able to work with a lot of nice horses and a lot of awesome people so it was definitely very entertaining and a good way to spend my whole summer mostly proud of my accomplishments so far between like treasure and arista arista was adopted out like two months ago and she made it very far with me and i was super happy with how she made it treasure was quite the project um he was just pretty much halter broke at the beginning and then i got him to be able to take a saddle and everything and so i'm happy with that my favorite part of working with ali is that she always comes in with a smile on her face in that she doesn't really care if it's hard work easy work she's gonna jump in and do everything um she's never one that really gets upset and her patience is comparable only to karen one of the biggest things allie did here that i was really proud of before is we had a mayor named aries to come in that she was a broodinger all of her life wasn't really handled and by the time ally was done with her she got adopted like right before she was going to pass her on up to the next one of us and they were riding her within a week so allie made a total turnaround on that mayor and made her trust people and now she's a great little writing partner one thing i've learned from ali is patience she tends to have a lot of them with some of our scared or nervous horses and she's kind of shown the rest of us and me specifically how to be more patient kind of read their body language and listen to what the horses have to say and she's always been super helpful willing to help out with anything we've wanted her to help out with and she's always just been super caring and helpful what i've enjoyed most about having ali here with us this summer is the accomplishments she has made with some of the horses here she's kind she's gentle i can't imagine there has ever been or ever will be a mean bone in her body and that is great to have when it comes to training courses especially ones that come from some pretty awful situations good job buddy one of the things i'm going to miss the most about ally leaving ponytails and going to school is how cooperative she was and how she brought this great light awesome energy to work every day she always had a good attitude and nothing would stop her or stand in her way from getting to that next step no matter how long it took or how many times she had to repeat the step with the horse and she was just so awesome to be around such a bubbly fun person and she was really cooperative and made my job a lot easier because anytime i asked her to mic up or tell her that i needed a video done and i needed her to be in it there was never any backlash there was never any i don't want to do this right now i'm busy it was always absolutely and being able to work with someone that was so willing so cooperative so easy to work with really just made my job a lot smoother it made my day go a lot quicker and it just made me feel so much more accomplished at the end of the day because then i was able to put the video together that i needed to get that day or i got the photos that i wanted and ally was just very understanding that my job also matters and never made me feel like i was less a part of the team than her and i really think that's what i'm gonna miss most about her is just her seeing the rescue as a unit and a team and wanting to do better for the souls that are here today we ended up getting 22 of our 27 workable horses worked with so that means we only got five that haven't been worked with and we will hit them either tomorrow or some other time this week but it was a great day for all of us and we ended up getting a pretty good number done so it was very productive and less work for us tomorrow it was so great to have allie back she's an amazing person she's an amazing kid you just don't find kids her age anymore with that work ethic i mean not very many anyways and one of my favorite things about ali other than just the fact that she's this amazing girl is her work ethic every morning she would show up and she would get out of her car and she didn't go and sit in the office for half an hour hang out or anything she arrived and she got to work anything that needed to be done should do it she helped us all summer long with hay you know loading nine wagon loads of hay into the barn is not fun and she was there to help uh cleaning stalls working with the really scared really timid horses the really hard cases um every day she showed up and always had a smile on her face and she would leave with a smile on her face even though you know she had had a long hard day she was always there to help with everything we needed and i jolt a lot about um how i didn't want her to go off to college i wanted her to stay here and and it was kind of joking i would have loved for her to stay here but i also know that a girl like her she's got a lot of places to go and things to do and you know the world to see you know she hints around about maybe coming back next summer you know when she's not in school and you know we're hoping that would be awesome um we're gonna miss her hi hi are you enjoying yourself so far so much fun are you having fun that's so much fun we're gonna miss the avenue around and now of course i'm gonna cry but um yeah we'll miss yali good luck it is friday september 3rd uh the day before our trail ride fundraiser is going to begin um it rained a bit tonight and we're supposed to get a little more throughout the day but the weather for the weekend is looking good um but we have no power our
