(M)(N) ovember ends...

Unfortunately our wonderful challenge month has come to an end. Fortunately, so has Movember and my husband is now clean-shaven!! For those unaware of that challenge its where men don't shave their moustaches (and some women! Lol!) for the whole month. Its to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer and mens health.
But anyway, when it rains it pours here and now we have so much mud and flooding! The picture is taken in the spot I rode Linus with the cows just 3 days ago. That spot has drainage at both ends!! Yikes!!
My Harold button arrived yesterday but I did not have anyone around to take a pic. So today I decided for the sake of having one to post that I would take a pic of the button on the bareback pad!
Linus was full of p&v today. Not hard to tell his favourite weather is on the way!! The poor young "Sir" was so dirty today and that is so rare! True testament to the last 2 days of weather! Its like he thinks he's above being dirty. Allie on the other hand is impossible to keep clean! She enjoys rolling in the mud. Linus only rolls on the hay (thanks boy!) Maybe that's why he was frisky today! He was feeling good after I cleaned him up!
We started out with his head up and prancing. Wasn't long though and he knew I wasn't giving in and was soon walking with his head at my shoulder. I love this fella!
So, November has been a wonderful challenge. Linus and I got to do many new things and many great refreshers. We've reached the next level in our partnership and that feels good!!
A massive, but very entertaining, rivalry was started early on but soon that gave way to us all coming together go show our support and concern for Harold. We were honoured to ride for Harold and it was pretty special that everyone did so much that didn't even involve points! Hooray! I think Harold was well entertained!
I've also learned so much about Dana, my fantastic partner for the month! Points and prizes are nice but I have a new lifelong friend and we have so much in common! I've actually gotten to know several people much better and think this team challenge was a fantastic idea!!
Kudos to all the teams and best of luck to those turning in points....well except for the Maine Gaines team of course!! Lol! (Kidding ladies)
