Back In Mode

In lieu of my horse photo which turned out blurry, a tree on the farm. The leaves have finally turned about 30 days later than usual, as we've been spoiled by unseasonably warm, and superb, training weather. All about to change if we believe the forecasts.

I'd prefer a gradual drop instead of the 30 degree drop predicted. The vanguard of the front was blowing in tonight as our thin one was taking Art out to the pasture for his tack work.

RR seems back in full horse mode after a brief vacation. The blog will be back to "training" tomorrow. Today and yesterday's below:
Art: 10 min riderless gallop both days about 2-3f at a time with the other 3. This is being attuned to the fitness level of the yearling + 5 and 10 min tack work last two days. Alone in the pasture under tack tonight for the first time. Art is about as good tempered and pliable animal as I've had though we're knocking on wood as to when the first deer comes popping out of the bush.
Y: same gentle riderless stuff as Art + beginnings of ground work with surcingle and long reins.
