Update 1: Belle - We had a short sweet ride. I was pretty sore from riding after still being bruised from when she bucked me off a couple days ago. We did basic flat work and a bit of work on lead changes. I forgot my spurs so I had to work extra hard to keep her moving Wyatt - His first ride back in... A long time... He was very good. Did basic flatwork both ways. I wasn't sure if he'd try to pull anything silly and thankfully he didn't. I even got on bareback for a while. I really liked riding him. He's adjustable and quiet. Very smooth and responsive. Mariah - She was basic old Mariah. Hasn't been ridden since around this time last year. Saddled her and rode her like any other day. Shes an angel of a mare. Just basic flatwork. She doesn't require any correcting or training shes about as broke as you could ever need one. My little brother rode her after at the walk and trot. My sister rode her bareback later in the day. She's an awesome mare. I can't wait to start jumping her again. The others - Sarge wasn't ridden just groomed. Reema and Johnny were ridden but since they aren't my horses that I work with I don't feel obligated to update on them. Extra update - the hot wire fence went up temporarily today to provide extra space to turn the horses out as the grass starts to grow. The geldings are all turned out together roaming the side and bottom pasture, Mariah is in the smaller pen and Belle and Reema are in the hot wire pasture. Will update again soon! |

Update 2: Last one of a while unfortunately Belle - We had a short jumping session yesterday but nothing crazy Wyatt - Easy flat work. Used some ground poles. Just trying to get him in shape. Mariah - Rode her English to get my hunter eq back. No work was done yesterday. Johnny - Also jumped him for my sister on Tuesday. He's difficult to jump so I'm trying to help her out. Sarge - Hasn't done anything. I'll be trying to ride him soon. Rema - BIG UPDATE! Rema was found him afternoon with a large hole on the back of her right hind in the area that flexes when she walks. She was inches away from being put to sleep today. She missed her flexor tendon by about half a centimeter but tore into the flexor sheath. She has a 3-5 month recovery but should be sound enough to go back to running barrels after then. She had x-rays and he luckily could fit in a few stitches. We're very thankful that she still has a future and that we have such amazing vets. She cast herself in the only barbedwire fence in her paddock (of course) but luckily we identified where it happened. She's at the vet until Friday then has 2 weeks in a cast. The rest is all strictly stall test and hand walking. Updates are ending now. I've began homeschool and the virus is affecting people my family is close to. I can't devote much more than an hour a day to HEE for the next 1-2 weeks possibly more. |

Within the last week I have decided to try and sell Belle. I have gotten more opportunity to rodeo and with the amount of work I will be doing she is far to young. Wyatt will be my horse until summer then I will find something to better accomidate my needs. I sell lots of horses so it's not a bid deal. We will be finding her a nice new owner to bring her along! |
