Quick visit Sunday

 

Had to get back by 230 so i needed to work make the time really count and not lose track of time or get disctracted. I was 👩‍⚕️ bing over at 1230 not much time plus I needed to grocery shop too.

I had finished the supplements yesterday. It was such a great day. Rode, exercised, by lunging did Beau's poop test, worked out with Sienna in arena,  easy bit and saddle

Rainy Saturday feel like we did it all Pouring rain

 After going over to the barn on a few Tuesdays and getting Beau moving and even tacked up before 8am, I am thinking of putting it into my schedule because Dr Katz was recommending that he get 3 days of exercise or riding, so if I was to arrange to come over to the barn on one extra day, he may be able to strengthen even more.
It would only be on day, maybe each week maybe 2 times a month. Im going to try.

• Got to the barn around 1230
• It was absolutely pouring out and we need the rain.
• There was hay bales in the ailse it was a strange green color, like it hadnt gotten dried out yet.
• Kristie was there with Krystyn, she had a stethescope around her nect they were talking, on one else at the barn, I went in as they were yappin.
• Her little horse Jax is very sweet, while she was getting him ready I told her he was sweet and that I would like to play with him in the arena some day do some exercises, training on Ground work and liberty. Jax was sweet and I did some walking he followed and when I ran with him, he did pretty good. I dont think that she plays with him muchl I would like to play with him another day but its not really in her planning for him. She mentioned Perelli but it wasnt very good. She said he was lazy but hes just really bored with her.
• She tacked him up quick, little grooming and recorded her self going around and around in the arena. Seemed boring for him. I know she wants to run him.
• Patti came with her pad and lots of cookies for Sienna.
• After Kristie finished  working out with Jax,
• I worked with Beau brushign him oout and getting him all tacked in his stall and then , got him ready for working out in the arena. I got a stool sample and brushed him out good.
•  Patti and Sienna was in the arena and Sienna was running around wild. She so sweet. but Patti said she didnt feel like riding she can tell by watching how she acts while she is unwinding.
• Patti, Seinna, Beau and myself went into the arena and did some walking together. We did curves, figure 8s and serpentines.
• I put the poles out, and we were walking over them and running tool Patti walked Seienna knew what we were doing. I rad over the poles a few times with Beau, hse really sweet he ran close to me and picked up o every cue.

Happy 23rd Birthday Lots of Beau

Short visit before meeting up with Val, Raychel, Joe, Wes Chase

Pretty solid visit, Bonnie and Krystyn were doing the stalls with a lawn mower because the gator is broken at the shop. Bonnie was really bummed. The lawnmoser had a small cart of the back and Bonnie had to empty it be shoveling. I think it would be more effective with the wheel barrel. They were filling up the cart and having the lawnmower in the ailse. It was loud and doing back firing.
I waited to use the in door because Bonnie said that they were driving out the back and she thought that Beau might go crazy. I didnt really thik so. So it took forever to finish the stalls and get them dumped. It made it so that even Kristi was there and I was still waitin got go oint the indoor, and I was there early but wasted time waiting because they were still doing the stalls. Anyway I made a plan, take him in and then just do his bit. I think he may be easier than Duke. After getting him into the stall, waiting forever, I brushed him out in the stall, he picked up 2 of his feet and one of them I was even able to get cleaned out with the pick.  I put in his bit, I did it with a snack Hes ok with it completely. 

• Used the pad today at the risk of not having enough stability. I planned to just sit on him and see if he would just stand still with me.  He did, just stood at the mounting block.  Im so proud.
• Round penned him first, hes really such a good boy, I love how he runs. He went both ways today, it was very nice. '
• For the first time ever, he did.a wild back rodeo kick uip in the high air and the one more, then went running aound agian to the lieft. No pooping in the corner. He watches me but we are not relly good with "click for trot" or "kiss for canter".
• Went out to Beau's paddock. thank god its drained of all the terrible green bacteria water. It was turning a strange green and I was afraid that he might get an infection. But hes super smart and doesnt go into it because I think it doesnt feel comfortable., but the soil supports tiny grass so he gets to nibble tiny grass. 
• Also in Beau's paddock had the most beautiful butterfly that was flutterying around and sitting , yellowtail swallow tail.
• After I taking Beau through the paddock, Kristie was mounting and she fell of the block. I turned because I heard the noise of the block falling over over and her on the ground. She said that Jax had stepped away as she was getting on. I felt bad that she fell but she was ok, she said her horse did not run or panick. Thats good.
• If I could have I would have followed out Patti, instead kristie was folowing her. he was annoyed, at the barn she talks aobut how to kill pigeons. Its kinda sickning.  Anyway, she feel off the mounrting block, she said it was her horses fault for walking away I think that there needs to be some work there. Then whil eI was getting a ton more snacks from the car, she was walking loudly around the corner and her horse just spazzed out. She seemed to recover him.
• I made up some packages for Beau in the baggie, its alot better to do.
• On Saturday Beau was dewormed with the Quest Duramectin one.

 

Great weather 70s sunny finally

 Saturday and Sunday finally able to visit both days.

My boy was good, Saturday, I tacked him up I was at the barn for a while, talked with Bonnie both days. On Friday I had dropped off a check and the cosaquin for  him too.

Worked him in the arena, grabbed him from his paddock and then brought him into the arena. Its so fun, we do the round penning, rolling then bring him into to be tacked up both days but I skipped the tack on Sunday. He had some bad stomache thing, his poop was really runny. Could be all the grass he stole on the walk out to the first speed bump. I turned around and l gave him snacks the whole way. I think that the magnesium may help me wiht him. Hes not perfect but hes going to be perfect for me. On saturday I had gotten into the arena first for the warm up. When Patti got in she tacked Sienna while I was running Beau. I can see he may not take off on me, hes achey, hes not that young and he doesnt feel like running really. This could be our thing. Any way we walked around the arena with Sienna and Patti. He was happy to be with her I think and Patti was smiling.

On Sunday Patti tacked up Sienna for a walk down the road and around the property, I followed them with Beau, he paid attention to her where she was etc. It was nice, I think he wanted to follow her. This is a goo d thing. we got back to the barn and went behnd the hay barn, I am going to keep switching it up so he sees more areas around the farm. I brought him up the hill and we grazed. 

Well we did a ton of things including going out to the paddock for a while on Sunday
