Love these two. 🦄 just under a mile of light hills and uneven ground. Physically, so good for for Mr. Brood-gelding Universe winner, Leroy, and "we're not sure what she did. We can guess...but whatever it is is getting better", Chanel.

Nothing like taking my fresh, but out of shape 12yo pleasure horse out to pony my 2yo hunt seater.... but they were literally perfect. Leroy LOVES Chanel, and whomever taught her to pony did a superlative job.... she's less of my focus than Leroy is. 🤣

Also, horse training in a nutshell.

Basically speaking, good horses are like Klondike bars. 🤷‍♀️

Just paid the deposit on the first of a number of construction projects.
Remind me that it was a choice when the chaos starts.

Horses take a lot of walking.. walking to water.. feed grain... feed hay... turn in.... turn out.

Walking into the tack room, and then back out when you forgot what you went in there for, just to turn right back around when you remember.

Step counters are everywhere these days. You probably have one on your phone. It never occurred, although it should have, that along with daily counts they keep historical data. Data like your STEPS FOR A YEAR. 😳

I "accidentally" found mine last night. Seeing those numbers "in the flesh", so-to-speak..... ooof. 😖 0 stars. I seriously don't recommend.

In case you're not the type to follow my advice (friends, family, husband) what's YOUR annual step count??

Horse training in a nutshell.

You can be bone weary, and still grateful.

Life is rarely one thing or the other, but instead is a messy mix. Keep your eyes on the prize and remember how far you've come.

How your forearms feel after putting up hay.

The loft is FULL, and so is all ground level storage. Horses are being rerouted through the large overhead door on the side of the building.

The change in routine is good for them.
