A very needed break

12/31/2010

With my boyfriend moving to New York, wrapping up grading and trying to get a grasp of this HUGE readership study I'm trying to compile -  I needed a horse break.

I needed to smell my horse. :) I also wanted to stop out to make sure that he wasn't sweating under his new thick winter coat since it was in the 50s today.

Rob was great.  I wanted to ride Brahma today too so we didn't do too much.  I took off his blanket and he was fine, except for a new bite/gash on the top of his rump. I'll need to watch to see who it is that's picking on him - I'm sure it's Brahma.

I didn't bother with the surcingle or bit today. Instead I brushed him, picked his hooves - holding them for extended periods since I promised the farrier I'd work on his hoof-holding patience - and was very happy that he didn't paw!

I free lunged him today and he was great.  Walk, trot and canter both ways.

I know I need to get out there more often. He needs more consistency. Hopefully once this readership survey is complete I can dedicate more time to working with the boys - Rob and Brahma.

Actually, I noticed that you had been very busy lately, that’s why I thought for you of having a break. I guess, it doesn't hurt too much to have a break isn't it? You are not going to lose anything from having a break that's why I am looking forward to see more things from you. You need to do this more often! By the way, your boyfriend's reason of moving to New York was legit. I am sure that you are going to miss him. Just don't think that it's that long!
