More Training:

$6,100.00 worth of horseflesh at left. I'm short on time today and so, just post the training. Amart, the 4 yr. old is in the foreground with Rollin'Rodney facing the house. Cat lovers will notice the cat, age 19, sitting on the porch waiting to be fed.

Training:
Fri. 1/16 Rest.
Sat. 1/17: 3 miles intermittent riderless play + 1 mile walk-trot under tack.
Sun. 1/18 Tack: Rod 1.8 miles walk-trot-gallop. Art-.9 mile gallop. Both horses did 2 miles riderless continuous gallop in :17s-:18s.
Mon. 1/19: 30 degrees at training time. Every day of galloping in January is big in these parts. Rod: trot-gallop 2 miles, slight improve from yesterday. Art: 1.25 miles gallop(:19s). The riderless volume right now is 3 miles with warm up and warm down with 2 miles continuous in the middle. Second mile they began to pick up tempo and last 4f turned into all out breeze with Rod, age 3, significantly for the first time speeding up instead of dropping out when challenged. Art tried to catch him and was unable. Trainer left smiling over Rod's stuff today.
