Long time-No Blog. The biggest news has to be
that Jack has started trotting under saddle. The first attempts were done lose in
the paddock, but given his easily distracted nature it’s proven to be easier
and more productive to stick him back on the longe line. The amount of circles
he’s done around Tom, vs the amount of time he’s been ridden by me is like
comparing your life span to the combined lifespan of your ancestors. So, Jack
sees it more as work and less of an opportunity to turn his neck and bite my
toes (which didn’t happen today, by the way).
Look at those trot steps!
Ami is going BN at a show in Deary, Idaho next
month. We’re going beginner novice, max height 2’7”. So, the height is not an
issue, but time might be an issue in the speedy-sense. You’re score goes down
for going too fast. Getting her to slow down and respect the need to go slow is
difficult, at least if her attitude going schooling is any indicator. I hope we
can at least get down in pace a little bit.
Other than that, it’s hot and stuff. Both Tom
and Deb will be gone for a few days, each doing different stuff, so I’ll have the
farm to myself for four days. I’m also getting down to my last eighteen days on
the farm. Where did summer go?!?
