Muck day today. Easter mucking.We got there early enough I was able to feed everyone, and then we started putting horses out. It was mostly smooth, except Velaris - not Polaris or Bolaris, what the hell - had opened his door last night and was running back and forth inside and out like an idiot.And uh. I put Whiskey and friends out and it was fine. Then Whiskey came up to me in the doorway and stared at me, so I pet him. And the asshole LAUNCHES himself into me at full canter and blasts through the stall and into Emmett’s across the aisle.So I locked him in there for a while and took care of the other horses, then chased him back into the paddock where he was supposed to be.Jerkass.Mucking went fast, though, and then I was able to grab Quattro and just… ride. He stumbled like, twice in the arena, but caught himself both times and still wanted to go go go. He’s doing really well and really strong.He cantered lots. Then afterwards, I did some dumb tricks and desensitizing with him, spinning a rope on either side of him, and while I was on him. And the dumbo kept putting his face in the rope. He is so weird.It went really well, though. And he was really well behaved for it all.I cleaned up their paddock afterwards, then visited a few horses before watching partner on Zara. It was really nice. Just… quiet time, you know?Overall it was a decent day, and I’m glad that things went as well as they did.But am I ever sore, and have I ever pushed myself far too hard this weekend.Still, I’d do the same all over again. -- source link
