New Jock
11/25 Off due to slight cannon bone heat
11/26 Thankgiving--heat gone, commencement of continual rain--off
11/27 Rain--off
11/28 Rain--off
In --does it ever fail dept.--last week before this one I'd backed off the very fast work partly out of concern for rider weight--and that week immediately followed by a week of cannon bone heat and constant rain--going backwards.
11/29 Sunday--we have a licensed jockey that just moved onto the grounds. How much do you weigh Jesse? 128 lbs. This contrasts with old riders 140 + 5 lbs gained over Thanksgiving with his girlfriend + 5 lbs winter clothes. Thinking good time to go to jockey weight. I make the switch.
Jesse trots the horse a mile through splashy floated track.
11/30 trot-walk-gallop with new rider practicing leads.
12/1 trot galloped1.5 miles again working on leads. Liking the new rider--vids soon--we'll work on adjusting horse to rider and vice versa this week. Should be back to fast work late in week.
