Goodmorning. I was grumping to Gary that I'm back to new member status, it lost my avatar and won't let me add it back and once you're done reading other people's posts, you have to scroll back up to the top to reply....... oh well, it'll take some getting used to. I was just getting used to having an avatar!!
Anyways, looks like it's going to be warmer, no haze today. Yesterday it clouded up half-way through the day but by around 5, it was clearer again. Kelly and I went for a short ride, did some trotting on the bridle trails. She hasn't ridden her horse, Tahoe in a couple weeks due to stealing my horse and having other social obligations. I recommended her lunging him or something and she said "He'll be fine." She regretted that about 5 minutes into the ride. He was doing the head up in your face, shaking his head like he had bugs in his ears but he didn't, prancing, sashaying, doing a canter-in-place instead of a trot (the boy is very agile) while Cody just a little more energetic than usual which surprised me after our long trail ride the day before. At least he isn't really a bucker but finally he tired out enough to get his brain back and she was fine. Mondays are good nights to ride because it's Gary's night to cook
Vet's coming this afternoon to do West Nile and check-ups, maybe X-ray Cody's right front. He had a big nail in it when he was 1 1/2 for a loooooonnnnnggg time before it finally worked it's way out of the crevice of his frog, 3 blowout abcesses later and has always cocked or rested it funny since but is only a little off in small circles and sometimes fusses when having to put all his weight on it when getting his left front trimmed. I've decided to bite the bullet and see what's in there.
Well, hope those that need rain get it and those who need a respite from it, get that too!
