We may or may not be around today, we've got to take the truck up to the shop in Gig Harbor... the starter we just put in it may be bad... sometimes when we try to start it grinds instead of starting. Anyhow, we'll be at the beach house most of the day, and not sure if we'll get online or not!
We were supposed to go on a trail ride tomorrow with Bob... but he just realized Jessie doesn't have school, so he can't go. Instead, he wants us to come down and help him fit a saddle to Kat. He's got several he wants to try. And he needs to see her worked. I'll probably lunge and ride her. She hasn't been worked at all, he was feeding her a lot thinking she needed to gain weight, and he said she's hotter than a pistol. He's cut her back but he's nervous about putting Jessie on her right now, and he's never actually seen her ridden, so he's not wanting to just go on my word alone that she's broke to death. Instead of being a 19 year old slow arthritic horse, she's running around feeling great. I think it's great if she's feeling that good, and Bob just doesn't doesn't know how broke she really is till he's sees her worked.
She's not going to forget everything over a winter off, she just might need a tune up.
