Sonny unmounted .75 hr
Woo hoo first play of the year.
Its pretty sad when 17f with no wind does not feel too bad sigh.
The earlier wind died down so I went for it but planned it to be
LOW KEY but Sonny had other ideas
..
I brought him over here and played on the snow cavaletti
and tire and in the yard in general.
He did get a little silly jumping and rearing but overall
did very well on the cavaletti and tire.
OMG when we got up to the big round pen thank god the
2 more snow falls in there made the footing decent again.
I had planned to just do a little low key freelonge walking but I guess he REALLY NEEDED TO BLOW IT OUT
We no sooner got in there and took off like a shot showing
that Quarter horse speed!!
I let it go for a bit there was no slowing it down and a few times I thought he was going to come around to behaving well
whats the stupid saying over here "NO WAY JOSE"
He was flying so fast I was a bit ok a LOT worried.
He did slip out and go on his rump at one point but jumped up
kicking out WHO PULLED THE RUG OUT!!
I finally got outside the rd pen and waited him out.
Thankfully he did not get all sweaty. I left him out there an hour to wander around and make sure he was cool before he went back over.
He looked pretty but gosh it makes me nervous when he gallops like that.
Thankfully that is a very large round pen so he can get a good blow it out in there.
I do hope this weather breaks soon.
The news just said this is the coldest holiday stretch since 1918
UGH now thurs we are 6-12 inches snow this is the big time
pitts.
