Trainers hands frozen solid, and the idiots are playing in the pond.  This was first heat of nice riderless workout today.  4 out of last 6 days horses have done multiple heats riderless much of it in :13-:14 range with a few faster spurts.  Sun finally peeps through clouds in Dec. on 12/26.  Standing water finally gone though still we have muddy mess.  Hopefully trailer to shop on Monday.  Mr. Nob reappears below:

Mon. Misc

KC has yet to see  the sun in month of Dec.  One  precip event follows  another and our farm has either been snowbound (last week) or a sea of mud.   Last exercise a week ago.  A week off for the horses by default. Hopefully things dry enough today to get back into gear.  Am trying to figure our trailer engineering problem before taking trailer to shop.

Tues Misc.

Trailer was retrieved out of mud over weekend. Calculating roof hole for #148 ears before transport to shop. And, good grief, horse is too long nose to tail for the stall in the trailer.  The horse is 12 feet long.  Future challenge will be how you keep this constantly in motion, energetic dude in a stall.

Lightly frozen mud today.  Provided surprisingly nice running surface that horses loved in brisk weather. Very fast riderless run today and Nob awol with the weather excuse.

Lost Week

Re the horses my mind is right in that the aim is to get 'em straight to a race track. And there's cash in the bank to modify the trailer.  Everything else is, as always, swimming up stream.  After the truck finally got the new license plates at a cost of roughly $800.00 by the time all said and done, what happened but that a rain that our good weather persons for got to forcast dumped 1.5 inches on us. 

 That was December 5.  Now on Dec. 10 we last saw the sun 5 days ago, and the mud is still such that we're unable to get the truck to the trailer so we can get the trailer to the shop.

The good news there, I suppose, for this time of year the temps have been above freezing, although just barely. One hard freeze and we could get the truck in there.

The horses have been doing riderless work every other day.  For the life of me, I am just unable to get a playable vid of this, primarily due to lack of light.  Hopefully some progress soon.
