Training

An Osteon post coming. All breathless in waiting probably!

Training:
Sat. 8/12: Art: .8(:20s) + .8 (15) + .3(:15)
Rod: .8(20s) +.8 (:17s) + .8 (:16s)

Sun. 8/13: Art: limping. wtf we say. The freshly shod horse is limping at the riderless trot in the warm up. Looking like an abscess type limp which is other than good. Hoof testers show nothing, but there he is ouchy to having his left foreleg shin touched. That, by chance is where he lost a patch of skin 1.5 inches by 1 inch right on front of shin a week ago. We're without heat there, and thinking the horse might have been bit in a fight. But, best guess probably is sole soreness post shoeing since we've been there several times before with big Art. Looks minor. Will see tomorrow. Off.
Rod: Nob goes a little faster than planned in the biggest w/o to date scotching the Mon. fast work.
.8(:20s) + .8(1/2 :17s + 1/2 :14s) + .8(:14s--on our circuit that's about 4f in :14s and 2.5f slower where we dip and doodle.). nice work for Rod.

Mon. 8/14 Off.
