Wed. Misc.

The new reins arrive from Stenmans.  The new condition, and in particular the rubberized portion were hands grip reins gives rider so much more control than same reins with rubber worn out. New reins give tight steering vs. loose steering. Mr. Nob looking forward to first ride with them, though may postpone today--Nob reporting  injury to inner left thigh muscle fearing a tear with too much pressure..  Will see.

 #17 doing riderless work + trotting under tack two of last three days. Brutal wind/weather conditions causes cancel on Mon. Yet to gallop horse, though doing well.  A little short of trustworthy just yet.  Latest jock cam vids show a lot of clouds and occasionally the top of the horse's ears.  I suddenly recall the positioning of the jock cam with Rolling Rodney.  Should have decent vids soon.

#148--bandage off.  good grief.  There is a fairly large hole through the joint where the bone fragment was removed.  Doc says it will heal and horse raceable.  What I see, career in doubt.  Would be a shame for this nice animal.  June 1 would be scheduled resumption of training.
