Training

Yes, we're still here. RR involved in one of those "projects" which require the few brain cells available. Since my last post on Tuesday: Wednesday we ran them again in the Astride Paddock, nice work for the yearling who at this in-between stage is a flyer, even with his open knees. Thursday morning at 11:00 a.m. it was 4 degrees and we passed. Today the forecast for 39 degrees got us all the way up to about 28 degrees at 4 pm.

Unbelievably the Y has an abscess on his left front. Limping severely this morning just as I was thinking we've been through this mess without abscesses, compared to last year when we had one after another. This is the first abscess I've had on frozen ground, so, a mystery, and just as the youngster was doing so well.

On the brighter side, today the 3 year old Amart flashed some stuff running with Groovin' Wind in the Astride. Good to see the youngster showing more energy, power and speed than the 13 yr. old. Hopefully these old eyes are seeing correctly as this looks like a very decent horse.
