Im trying to feel this way about work stress... |
Wednesday I hacked Henry. We rode inside and there were quite a lot of people in there when we started.. I am going to make a neon yellow sign that says LEFT SHOULDER LEFT SHOULDER!! Thankfully Henry isn't phased by people running INTO us and cutting us off or running up his bootie...
Anywho he was great... he's been really strong but so is life- that's normal for him.
It ended up be me and one other horse that was on trial in the arena, she was squirmy and Henry didn't bat an eye- that;s by boy! We even used him as a blog so that someone could get on her and he stood there like a perfect gentleman as she was pitching a fit.
I rode in the ride light pad and a square pad and loved the way it felt... can't wait to get mine for my birthday!
Looking cute eating his grain while I filled his and Louie's waters |
Cooled out, un-tacked, cleaned up and took Henry home. I ended up dumping his big ol water bucket b/c I think the Equine Aid made major algae grow in his water, it smelt nasty and was grooooody! It's never done this before :(
He got a light turn out Thursday.
Hack today and lesson tomorrow.
Henry is adorable! good thing he remains calm even when people pass on the wrong side and cut you guys off.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes im thankful that he doesn't get worked up over it!
DeleteThe ride light pad looks very similar to the oglivy pad that is popular around me (and from Canada). Not sure if there is much of a price difference, but maybe check that out too. I have one and it is also easy on the human back.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah it does! Charlie and Me has a brown one of the oflivy and it's beautiful!
DeleteI have already ordered the Ride Light but thanks for the advice :)
Henry was quite the gentleman despite it all.
ReplyDeletethank goodness! :)
DeleteGood boy Henry!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when the arena has so many horses in it that its like a game of Mario Kart.
ReplyDeleteThat is possibly the best definition for a crowded arena/etc I've ever heard.
DeleteSeriously best description ever!
DeleteHenry is such a dude!!
