Deep Winter Training

Rick from Feldman's Feed Store loading hay onto our truck. I liked the hat.

Horses have done 6 riderless sprint works in last 13 days.  Did one warm up and 3 x 2f full speed today over 1.5 inches of snow. Both looked like a blurr going by.  Wished I'd taken cam corder to get it on vid.

Tack work, not so much. 18 degrees today and with 8 inches of snow coming in that will hang around for a week, tack seemed less important.  Longest stretch of conditioning for #148 with his many injuries to date.  The heel bulb injury has held up ok AND his hock--except for one of those works were he had slight swelling--has been absolutely normal.  Plan to get 'em to the race track, next post.
