Hack Day

 















Hack day with Sharon. Pony Club rally going on... but had a great hack... trotted almost the whole gallop track (Baylor isn't as fit). Finished with a tiny bit of hind end strengthening riding in the parking lot area. A bit of a turd at first because Baylor disappeared behind his trailer. Good gravy. Then he wouldn't let Sharon untack because he wanted to watch Lyric so they were "creepers" and watched from the other side of the truck and trailer in the opening between the two and Lyric settled. Didn't get to do as much as I wanted but... got a few good circles and quit.

  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. She was going to flock it and have me ride in it but then I mentioned that I was also using it on Funny and wanted her to check it on her first. She did mention she wanted me to try riding her in it to see it. I told her about the rehab stuff and lameness but then honestly, I sort of thought it might be worth seeing how she felt, especially given the vet visit tomorr...

  And today was a better day. I still was sad and even cried this morning, mostly because of hormones. But... Dr. DeClue called me as I was pulling into Barrows for my vet appt. She told me not to worry about working up the lameness, but to hold steady. She said that the shockwave changes how things feel and that's probably why she looked worse yesterday. And she said that she needed her neck facets done. And then I was like "Can I bring her to you again?" and she said yes. Phew. So, she'll send me dates soon. So that helped. Just... stay the course Holly. And then I adore Dr. Barrow too. I basically told her the whole story and she listened and didn't blow me off. She didn't dismiss anything and she was smart and had good ideas! We checked her front feet with hoof testers and she was negative so she didn't think it was her feet. She said she agreed that it wouldn't be wrong to do her hocks and stifles because sometimes veterinary medicine is "a d...

FLYER!

 We took a flyer! Great jump lesson. If I stay upright in my body and shoulders, press my hands into her neck, and keep my elbows moving (or even almost throwing away the reins) she jumps... and doesn't add unless she needs to. And even took a flyer!! And jumped big things!
