Well, I just got out the calendar, and it was 6 wks this past Thurs that the shoes were put on...so they did at least stay on for the 6 wk period. The farrier is coming this week...we scheduled it for 6 wks from when Rocky was shod, and he was shod the week after Harley.

Hello everyone!

It has been a very horsey weekend. I have a horse show in two weeks, so I've been preparing for that. Rode Levi yesterday, and boy was he full of himself! He was hauling on me and charging around the ring like a bull. I was practicing my test, and instead of trotting off from X, we were doing canter departs. (Beautifully I might add, but not what I wanted!) He just wanted to go go go! Took a trail ride today, and Oliver took a digger with me on him. I don't know if he fell asleep or what, but one minute we were walking along a level surface, and the next minute he was on his knees. I scrambled to stay upright, and we kind of sat there for a couple of seconds until he got back to his feet.

I don't know if I've mentioned, but my trainer is moving 20 miles south of here, so I've also been going back and forth this weekend scoping things out and planning to help her out. I think that this is what my two weeks of vacation is going to turn out to be. The property needs a lot of work to make it horse safe.
