When I got to the barn it was quiet and calm. I got Duke from the paddock. I feel bad that I cant take Doc out too. The joisting horse and his owner were riding. I went into the stall with Duke and went over Duke's coat with some cleaner. I also tacked him with the cross ties. It was deliscous, he loved it taste like green apples. :)
Im hoping that Scotti is feeling better soon. After my funny Saturday I was hoping that Sunday I could take care of Duke and tack him up, and jump on. There was a hawk in the arena so I know I would be getting on outside. A girl came in with her boyfriend dressed in serious English gear. I let her know that there was a hawk.
Close to the end of the day Sunday first Danielle showed up. It was nice to see her. She brings a little dog that gets all over the place. I asked her to help me mount. I had been out on the front of the barn for like 15 min. Duke is really doing crappy. I think we are getting worse. Anyway she helped me out.
I jumped up and we went out. Duke did the backing up thing when we first go out. Then he starts to go sideways. With all of our mounting issues, I think that next week I will bring the leather larger saddle and see if it makes a difference.
Well the walk was wonderful. I didn't spend time in the arena. We did a nice walk and then when I got back I was really happy. He didn't want to cross the street. I wanted to finish the walk and then go through the woods. I hope we'll be doing that soon.
I loved returning to the barn while everyone is back in the back of the barn.
