WEll, yeah:)
Rusty is going out for a test of his stifle thing. I really want to take him too the clinic, but if he is going he is going to have to start getting a little more intense of workouts. So today, we'll go for an hour, and I'm going to do some long trotting. If everything stays sound,then I will assume the problem is fixed and start working him a little more intensly on trails, then the week or so before we leave take him back to the barrels for some refreshing on them.
If he has any problems between now and then, I'll switch my focus to Harley, who is working good on trails now, but will need alot of work on barrels. I'm hoping that at the clinic I can learn where I'm weak in training them on barrels. I really don't want to take a horse that isn't doing them at all.

Here's hoping Rusty goes really well for you.
