Tues. Misc.

Strange to wake up, click on the satellite images on Accuweather today and some other small part of the country except us under a yellow rain cloud. The normal around here is this from 4/23. I lost the nice red ones that were over the farm Sunday 5/2. It has been so bad we have

one day of galloping for 2010 so far, and about that many since late Oct.

But, today is clear, merry month of May and sunshine ahead. With every rare clear day the mind set is, we can get started now?Indeed we probably have 30 or so days of undisturbed training ahead. If that could be done, we might be breezing the horse by early June. He's in fairly decent shape, considering. The photo was about 4/29. Mud over barn floor. They roam in there while we're shoeing.

Training:

Sat. 5/1: Derby day. 10 min riderless spurts and 10 walk under tack. Prior 10 days was mostly off due to constant rain.

Sun. 5/2: Off. Weather fakes us out. Accuweather shows torrential rain over farm at 2 pm. Get to farm and not a drop. Lucky for once.

Mon. 5/3: 10 min riderless spurts. The 15 yr. old is back after two months of fighting abscesses. This is good! 10 min walk-trot. Trot were we can. I'll do a video soon which shows the trouble with Rod and his trot.
