Training

A dry July we had to have. But, another inch this morning, with the map at left showing per usual, most of the country dry; us otherwise. We give up any pretense of trying to race train at the farm this year. About all that is left is to try to keep the horse in as good a condition as possible until better situation develops. That is being looked at, but is tempered by the need to stick around KC and make money for the next horse purchase. Vague plans at the moment to buy the horse and move the operation to St. Louis.

We had 7 straight rain days and about 4 inches of rain ending Friday. Here is our training.

7/3-7/7 Off. Rain.

Thurs. 7/8: 10 min walk under tack through wet pasture.

Fri. 7/9: 10 min. riderless play + 10 min walk under tack. Trying to get the spooky horse back under control.

Sat. 7/10: Riderless 1f spurts. Very enthusiastic + 10 min walk-trot. Trot were horse is trusted, elsewhere, walk.
