Thank you to everyone who was here helping today. It was a good day on the farm. Although, I am down and out with a nasty head cold. As a result there hasn't been much riding happening the last couple of days. My sense of balance is way off. I did ground drive Jake today, which resulted in him bolting down the road to create a bit of excitement. He then promptly went back to work and was very willing to the bit. I drove him down the forest trails. He is good at the walk and starting to understand the bit pressure. I'll have to put him in the arena to work the trot on line.
The girls who will be showing next weekend had a lesson this morning, and all did very well. I know Nicole will feel more settled when her new horse arrives tomorrow. I think Paula and Jack are ready for the 2'6" classes. Things really seemed to click for them today. They worked on the roll backs today. Things were good, but Paula realized that she is really going to need to communicate to Jack where the next fence is in advance.
We had two horses come galloping up the drive today with saddles, but no riders. A bit of a scary moment until I learned that they bolted before anyone had a chance to get on.
I want to say a special thank you to Mark for all his work around the farm today. It was really a treat to get to know you better today. I look forward to learning from your constant support and cheerleading.
