Ha...yes I rode Mr. Vinny yesterday and he was very consistent. His counter canters are much improving, the right is better than the left, and we got a couple of good straight lead changes. He also impressed me with doing much smoother downward transitions from the canter, still needs more work but overall is way better. Plan on doing more of the same in todays ride but will work on lengthening and shortening the stride, keeping soft through transitions and may set up more cavelettis to go over.

They are over their 5 week farrier trim and both Vinny and Telly's hooves are not looking pretty. I really wish I could throw shoes back on Telly but I do not think that is likely to happen at the moment. Hopefully the farrier will be able to get out here soon.

I really find it fun riding Telly in the pond but am not sure how good it is for his hooves. But if I only keep it to like twice a week and no other water contact then I am hoping it will not mess up his hooves too bad.
I thought we had done a real swim before but the other day I got a real taste of him swimming with just his head poking out. It was super fun and I hope there will be some benefits to Telly.

Been doing a lot of advertising online to get some stuff sold and we are having a garage sale this weekend. Should be very interesting and hopefully we make some money.
