BEEN AWHILE

Okay, so it's been awhile. I know, I know. Well, we've successfully recovered from two hoof absesses in the past month. All of the horses have shed their winter coats, the grass has grown in, and we're ready to rock! Montana was laid up for a little while ( a couple of weeks) due to the hoof issues. She is all healed up. We have begun jumping lessons in preparation for our upcoming combined training event on May 31st. I'm mostly worried about the dressage test though. It is very simple, but Montana isn't. As sweet as she is, she can really pull you around an arena. Our lesson last Sunday was mostly Margie work, position in two point, balance, balance, balance. We worked over ground poles the entire lesson and cut it short due to a little bit of residual soreness in Montana's right hind hoof. As of last night, she is absolutely sound.

Tonight when I get home from class, I'll throw the dressage saddle on her and we will pick up where we left off. Light, light, light- just think light! Tomorrow another lesson with Karen.
Can't wait!
