Updates

This is the busiest time of the year for me, which is being compounded by increased work load at my job, so forgive me for the sporadic updates. Ashke is doing great and I am riding four times a week. Life is stressful, but still good.

Hooves:

Funny what changing your environment can do to all the parts of your horse. We are finally WLD free. Finally. 

 Doesn't that hoof look magnificent?

Look at that White Line!!!

This was the really bad left front.

And this is the right front.

Aren't they beautiful?

And he is sound.

I just want to point out that I have been working with this farrier for two years now and he is finally happy with what he is seeing. 

Lessons:

Our changes are coming along. I am finally confident enough that I might start working on them in my practice rides. He is listening well, although you can see his mouth working when we took a momentary break cuz he's thinking so hard.

The beginning of canter pirouettes. He was really lifting his front end in the air the day before.

He was a bit tired and I didn't set him up well for this one.

Dogs:

 Skittle's fav thing to do is stand on the center console in my car, look out the front window for cars, and lick my face.

My hearts. I love how much Lily loves T. I swear she is Red reborn.

I hope to have Pixem videos at the end of the weekend. I am riding in a clinic with Nicole Harrington at our barn. Should be interesting. I'm really nervous.
