Testing, One Two...

So, since I wasn't up to riding and still am not due to my whole accident, mouth issue, I decided to lunge Vinny with the new martingale on. Have never done the whole breastplate/martingale thing so am going to look up some photos to be sure I did it up right. Vinny had no issues with it and it seems to fit him nicely. I made him walk, trot, canter in both directions and I must say he looks much better going than he did a year ago. Then I decided to set up a jump so I could see how he'd respond. There were no issues there, he jumped it nicely in both directions and I even made it quite high but he did not knock it down. Then I decided to make one side of it an oxer to give it some width and make him work a little harder over it. I made it too wide the first time so he caught the back rail, but I adjusted it and he quickly figured out he needed to jump further over it.

I did not do anything with him today due to the fact that upon feeding him this morning I noticed he had cut his lower lid. If it is not one thing it is another. I am hoping he will be alright and that tomorrow, if we are both feeling up to it, I will lunge him again. I will just have to keep an eye on his eye and be sure it stays clean.

Today we also gave them their EWT/WN vaccine.
