Water Is Falling From the Sky!

Watching the rain as we cooled down Wednesday


Wednesday afternoon I had a fun hack... There were lots of people at the barn and thankfully Henry doesn't care about the chaos.

It was raining so everyone was inside- lots of trying not to get run into or run over. I really really really wish that people knew left left when passing. If only...


We warmed up at the walk, did a nice long walk and then went to the trot.. my goal was to do some shoulder in/out, haunches in/out and leg yields but with like 6 other people all over the place that didn't happen. I just went through the paces and did a little counter canter work after a few of them left.

Dirty mirror selfie :)

Thursday I snuck in a quick 25 min hack before the dentist came.


I had the whole arena to myself so I did lots of long and low and changes of direction. Henry was forward but willing... I really love riding this horse.

Cleaned him up and then he had a dentist appointment... poor guy! I am NOT a fan of the human dentist so it makes me anxious to even watch the horse dentist. lol.. but I learned a lot and made it ;)

Letting the drugs wear off
I waited around for an hour after the appointment was done to make sure that he was ok.. he was still a bit out of it when I left so I came back in the evening to make sure he was ok....


He was ok, even brought a snack for our walk haha!

He's going to get Fri and Sat turn out and then I hope to hack Sunday.

  1. It snowed here this weekend... wth! I hate the human dentist too. Almost as much as Apollo hates the horse dentist.

  3. The water has been falling from the sky here for a week now. :( Good news-I haven't watered horses in a week (troughs are full from rain...a 100 gallon and a 50 gallon). Also my pastures look like something straight out of Ireland. Bad news- no riding. Womp womp. Yay for Henry being such a good boy!
