Time Is Flying By

Yesterday i mistakenly wrote that Y has been on the farm a month. As i look at the calendar its actually been three weeks. Maybe its a sign of impatience that I thought it was a month, or, perhaps an indication that Y has come faster and farther in a fairly short time than i might have believed three weeks ago. I ommitted taking early photos so there is nothing to compare him too. but, we'll get photos up one of these days and then have a benchmark for development. today, thurs, 11/16/06 was a rest day after the strong work of the day before. I tend to take Tom Iver's advice in his early book The Fit Race Horse, which is that when a horse exceeds what he have done before, when the owner/trainer is all excited by what they have just seen their horse peform and the temptation is to load on even more in the very next session, that is really the time to back off.
over the top performances require rest to allow the body parts to catch up with the training, and so, today we rest and will commence in the morning when we hope its a bit warmer than today.
