Saturday's Work

.1 inches of rain for July in KC. We've morphed from all out monsoon to thinking drought. But, all we have to do to get it to rain in Eureka is to plan a trip there. Eureka has .13 inches last 24 hours and an ongoing thunderstorm as I type, and more on the way. Do I see a Bill O'Gorman "minor improvisation" coming as to tomorrow's Eureka trip?

But, RR is feeling pretty good about things. We're in day 90 of galloping under tack, the oldsters are responding to Preston Burch training, and we expect soon to be able to relate to the friendly racing secretary that we have a race ready pair.

Took this snap shot of the present supplement collection. ( left click to enlarge) The Dac Colt Grower was bought to see what it contained. Mostly iron filler, it turns out. The plastic bag contains Purina Alfalfa hay. This all goes with Omelene 200 which we vary with a cheaper mix to dilute the heavy dose of fat in the Omelene:
And, the excitement of the day so far--Acesmash colicing. Today is the breeze day of course. Refused to eat this morning for first time in his life, but, below photo shows him 30 min. after administration of banamine. Unknown if we'll ever get that excess 40 lbs off this horse.
Training:
Friday night the 12 year olds were off. Ace galloped in prep for tonight's breeze.
