4 Out of 8

Our new running paddock is about 3.5f straightaway along a fence.

 Out of the last 8 days the horses have done every other day 3f full speed riderless sprint work every other day--about 2 heats per day.  Given our sub-Artic weather, good stuff for January.  Up ticks the fast twitchers, get's horses in running condition, ground is hard and so, good concussive work. The straight away is so nice because the horses race each all the way in confined space led by our good nineteen yr. old having a second racing life.  Will get there earlier soon  to get some vids in better light.

Good training just for learning to race against other horses and enjoying racing.  The horses seem to be having a blast in this new paddock.

21 degrees today.  Declined tacking up to wait till warmer blowing in tomorrow.  #148 once again wacked his front left heel bulb wound before we ran.  Superficial.  A drop of blood on the hind indicates he probably brushed it again romping with his buddies.
