Training

Patience is a tired mare but she plods on. That's Henry V. And, from the same play 'we sit patiently and inly ruminate', in this case yesterday's rain, last week's two rains, and the 2.2 inches coming in. But, we plod on.
Sat. 10/3: Off.
Sun. 10/4: Both horses did mostly :14s riderless for 2 miles + 1/2 mile trot under tack. Nob getting his sea legs back after the fall states he can now hold up his head to see. That's good news.
Mon. 10/5: 2 miles continuous riderless up into :13s which is as fast as the chopped up paddock allows right now + .8 mile tack trot with Nob reporting he's unable to hold up his head again, which is believed to be weather related with rain coming in. The plan is to increase tack work gradually, Nob's condition requiring the horses be completely under control.
Tues. 10/6: Nice day but two straight hard workouts require a rest giving note to avoid an overdose of concussion and bending and twisting of fragile bone. Off. Walk out office door at 5:00 p.m. and into the first winter cold.
