I'm still fighting whatever it is that is ailing me. Feeling laid pretty low...the last day I had to ride before the rain and my long hour days set in, so I rode anyway. We are really going to have work hard at rating again, she is a horse that is quite full of herself, and I want my "pitty pat" jog back. She had a good workout though, we did some fartleks and the canter was semi under control, got better as we repeated. We also worked some hill intervals to get her rate up pretty high and then walked until it came back down, then repeated. She was all sweated up by the time we got back. Wish the horse fairy would bring me some heavy duty clippers so I could take off some fur. She isn't shedding yet.
Will get my trailer back in a day or so. Floors checked out good, all greased up, and the bearings packed, but one of the tires was real bad ready to blow he said, the tread detaching, so my hubby put a new tire on for me.~E.G.

I haven't been able to work Doc hard enough all winter to work up a sweat yet - just don't have a good place to do it. So you are wayyyy ahead of us! :-)
