Day 278

Happy Super Bowl, America!

I worked again with Brie today. I repeated the flexibility program and she is getting the hang of what I want from her. I think next week I will use the make-shift Pessoa system we have going with her. She was very calm today and, once again, no problems mounting today!! So we're making progress. She wasn't collecting like yesterday, only for a couple of strides near the end, so we need to work more on that. I'm also working on not letting her break into a canter on reverses in general and corners when she's at a largo. It will take time, but I'm sure we can get there!

Harry looked kind of sore today. He got a woodchip stuck in his hoof yesterday and I think it made his hoof tender. I put lineament on him anyways, just in case, and by next weekend he should be fine. He did the strangest thing today. He was standing on the cross ties and my mom went to put the saddle on him but he kind of sank back into his back legs like he was bowing, stretching out his front legs. What a goof! We all thought he was just going to lay down or something!

Nina is just a little powerhouse. We're aiming to bring her to Extravaganza in Jacksonville this year. We were going to last year, but things came up, plus I think our car had to go into the shop. Hopefully this year is our year!
