3 short weekends only 1 day

Steves birthday meet up

• Feb 1
• In the arena

Feb 7 

• In the paddock
• Working with Beau in the paddock is my new favorite thing. we spend time together. Its sort of rocky but still is ok. 
• he does his picking up his hoof so good. Although the back leg is a really hard kick out, that I dont appreciate at all.  I keep my head away from him when I asked him to pick it up. He can pick it up quickly and also kick out and stomp hard.
• Also I love to take off his blanket, brush him out nice and soft and then then let him chill out inn the sun or if we go into the arena, roll in the dirt so he can feel his back on the dirt, then he runs off farting as usual.
• I brought up some hay for them, no one had hay just like the week before so I grabbed a ton of hay and gave everyone that didnt have hay but espeically brought a ton to Beau, he was happy.
• Hes doing great with his bandana trick, its really good when he has an apple treat in the bandana, he just starts chewing on the bandana and gets the apple flavor from him.
• I do like doing workouts in his paddock. Its really nice and we walk around. In the arena he goes cxrazy but in his paddock hes very good.

• Feb 15th
• walked outside so icy it was a sheet of glare ice all over the farm. 
• Found out that Beau ripped his blanket apart when he crashed the gate and ran off on Krystyn earlier this week. 
• Beau I brought outside we walked around in the brown slightly sanded ice he was fine he stepped with his brand new shoes on the slick ice and did a cartoon animation slip of all his hoofs, so funny. Krystyn pulled up just as he was doing it. Back to the safe area, we just went back over to the front of the barn, walked aorund and then back into the barn.
• The door on the arena was frozen open so I did not let him do a crazy run, hes just not a good boy with me yet. we walked alittle and back on the cross ties
• We did his massage pad for maybe 25 minutes, he hasnt lasted the full 30 minutes all all this year.
• Just as I was leaving, I went into the office to check on stuff, I pulled open his supplemennt drawer and it was empty, I forogot to do 2 weeks last week.  I grabbed all the supplements, in the bag made sure I had cosaquin, magnesium and the horse shine ready. Make a weeks supple and will make the 2 weeks next weekend.
