Day 200!





A couple of days late, but Ta-Da! My first ever vlog post, made especially for Day 200 of training!

In short, I only rode on Sunday. I now have to wear crutches and a boot cast because I may or may not have a stress fracture in my foot and I made a horrible decision to ride on Sunday in order to get footage for this, but I'm glad I got to make the video. After this post, I'll be on leave for a while because I won't be able to ride and therefore won't be able to train. But I might be able to get some lessons in with this one girl I want to instruct who hangs around our barn a lot. We'll see!

Basically, I didn't actually train very hard on Sunday because I was more concerned with taping. But Harry was awful. He was so bad at longeing! You can get a glimpse of this from the clip. I think that while I'm sitting out at the barn and watching everyone else ride for the next couple of weeks, I'll be reading up on how the heck to finally get this longeing problem solved, once and for all, because it's one of the most aggravating things on the planet. Other than that, he really was a doll.

I even rode Brie for a little bit too. We cantered (as I show you) =] She's getting better at it with me, although I think my mom asked a little too hard because Brie kept trying to bolt out! Then again, my mom uses double reins on her now and Brie clearly thinks those are for babies, so I can tell she's mad about that too all the time.

Nick and his family are officially moved in! Now they just have to paint and arrange their apartment just the way they like it and Paco is waiting for his new apartment to finish being constructed so he can move out of the downstairs office into a real home! Nick seems super nice, but I'll just be wary of him until I see him ride.
