Monday I had to work so I went out to the barn with B after work and hacked. No one was around and Henry was um... opinionated. I worked on forward without head in the air and his transitions. I wanted them crisp and correct. Henry hates being ridden alone so it was good for him but LOTS of work for me.

As I was cooling him out, someone showed up so we joked about being spoiled and having the arena to ourselves :)
Tuesday I ended 2013 right with a ride and Henry got a school jump :)
Wednesday we started the new years off right and I gave Grayson a bath and spent some time with him.

Hopefully I can get a hack tonight, idk about this weekend cause hubby's schedule changed and he is now working weekends... we shall see what my new normal is :)
Now the horsey things that I got for Christmas are...
Head Stall for Grayson
New Spur Straps
New Split Reins
Hunter wellies and the inserts I've been eyeing for a long time
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years (I fell asleep at 8 pm lol oops!)
So do you ride western too? What are you going to do with Grayson? I use to barrel race/pole bending/western pleasure/trail etc. I always wanted to learn to work cows!
ReplyDeleteI can handle my own in a western saddle but Hunters is my thing :)
DeleteGrayson's parents are cow/all around horses.. the plan with him is to have a well mannered, good minded horse that I can maybe sort with, pretend to rope off off and that hubby can ride. I've sorted and scored from the box but never actually thrown a rope :)
I am taking him as many places as I can right now so that when it's time to get on him, he won't be phased by anything... a good none spookie mind is #1 :)
One day I want to do reining but that won't be for a while.
Glad you're back on the wagon! Sounds like a fun week and I love your Wellies!
ReplyDeleteYes and being off work most of the last week and a half was awesome too! :)
DeleteCool! I'd love to have a little western horse to play with.
ReplyDeleteRight! It will be fun to see how he matures.. hey for all I know he may make a cute little hunter!
DeleteHappy New Year, Hunter Wellies are the best, tough, look good and great value.
