Mental Break

 Farrier this am. Wasn't in front with the hay so had to put her in the round pen. Mad! 

Good for farrier... weird and snuggly. ;) Chewing on me like Dan does

after dan's vet visit, took her to ashland for a ride. Dressaged... stirrups way too long. Should have swapped to others but afraid to not use calfskin. hopefully my shorter ones will come soon. good girl but not as good as the other day. went for a nice long hack. Saw an armadillo. some deer. went to canter in the field and spooked some deer so sort of raced the deer while also spooking at the deer ;) 
good pony though!

then aurora borealis again tonight, but... she wasn't as cooperative for photos as the others

Waaaaahhhhhhhh :( Just when she was getting FUN! Kelli and I had scheduled a vet visit with Dr. Marquez for Dan and Marvin. I decided to have him look at Lyric too as I was worried she was still having some issues. She's been fussier lately again and losing her hind end on occasion. Nothing major, but... she's also never had a real true lameness evaluation done. So.. why not!?  I'm really glad I did. The horses were in all day because it was an all day affair. And Marvin was here too, so that added a little bit to her stress. Maybe stress isn't the right word, but her routine was definitely off! And that makes her nervous. We did Marvin's vet visit first, then Dan, and then it was Lyrics turn.  Dr. Marquez started off with a physical exam and palpating her. He noted how knock kneed she was. I know... I know. Basically he found that she was super sore in her pelvis at the tuber sacrales. And then he found stifle effusion. She was also a bit reactive in her suspensori

Chill girl at the Tik clinic

  I'm so proud of Lyric. And a little bit of me too.  Lyric and I went to the Tik Maynard clinic today at Pascova Farm. Bless her because my dumb self didn't pay attention that the start time had moved up 30 minutes until after I woke up this morning. I had wanted to get there to listen to the first lecture and watch the first group of groundwork but more importantly, Allisa told me I could park in the barn area and put her in a stall for the day so I had to get there before everyone else so I could get the trailer in before people started parking and clogging up the area. And of course, on Thursday I didn't feel like getting gas on my way home because it was hot and figured I'd do it later, forgetting I was going to have to get up early to go to the clinic. So this morning after I woke up and was getting ready I realized I was going to be running late. My plan was to leave at 7, to get there around 8sh and get gas, but... that was when it started at 8:30. Now that they

Chatt Hills: We DID it!!!

Image
Oh I am so so so proud of Lyric. And of me too! I was really wanting to go show... not sure why really... maybe because I figured since Dan and Funny weren't showing, now is a good time. Maybe because we had such a good time at the jumper show. I don't know. But no one wanted to show soon! I was originally going to aim for Poplar because I happened to have that Friday off, but then... Caroline said she was going to Chatt the weekend before. And Chatt is closer. And I wouldn't have to spend the night, so.. I opted for that instead. Except then I couldn't go school on Friday with them because I was working at UGA and they couldn't swap dates. So, a friend had showed their recognized show the weekend before and posted photos of the course. And... it was HUGE! In my opinion anyways. Lots of big tables, the stupid v wing jump, the open oxer... ackkkkk!!! So I started to panic about not schooling. I thought about trying to go Thursday but I couldn't really find anyone
