Defeated

 Ugh..... I was so optimistic that Lyric would be fixed! She got injected Tuesday. And I was allowed to ride her on Monday but I worked. And then it rained all day Tuesday. And then I worked. So, today, I rode! And she's still lame. :( Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Why? Ugh.. like, no change really. Maybe a bit more willing to walk but... ugh. 

I'm so sad. I've missed riding her. I'm terrified it's something major and scary.

  Sigh... I want to cry. I did cry. Sigh... my poor beautiful girl.  We had the saddle fitter come today to assess the disaster dressage saddle. It's not the original fitter but someone she recommended who was traveling past us to go to her other clients. So yay! Maybe I can finally decide one way or another with this saddle. But nope...  Since she was coming I had her check the other saddles and horses too. And Kelli came and brought Marvin. She looked at Lyric and thought that the dressage saddle fit her pretty decently, it just needed flocking because the wool was completely squashed and not much in there.

 Honestly, with having 3 pony blogs now, I can't remember if I posted the fun photos or not. So sorry if it's a repeat! Today was a gorgeous day despite it raining hard all night and in the early morning. I had a lesson with Dan and was hoping to come back and ride but ended up cleaning the house and hanging with Mike. I probably could have snuck one in this early evening but decided not to. Mostly just because I was trying to be a good wife and I think I'll get ample opportunities this week. And honestly, not because the winds were howling. I don't think Lyric would have cared. But it was quite gusty!    But, I did lunge her. Because... she needs it. I think it's going to be a very helpful tool in building up her topline and muscling and teaching her how to soften and relax. And she's getting it!! Today I put her in the roundpen and she just went into a nice lovely trot all soft and relaxed in her topline and neck. Her jugular pulse was even pulsing away. And s...
