Had my first lesson in a while (just haven't been able to schedule anything, not from lack of interest or need) and Rusty was a champion. While I was warming him up, he had a major spook, happily I managed to stay on, and then was walking around "eyes on stalks" on tippytoes. RI had us get to work - she said best thing to do for a horse like him, is give him a job to do. She was right - he settled right in.
Cause of the spook? We're getting frost overnight, and the pair of ravens that lives at the barn, climb up on the metal roof and slide down, creating quite a racket when they do. I'm not kidding - YO has seen them do this. We really need to get a video. They're having fun but to Rusty it's like the hounds of hell are after him.
Second reason I'm smiling ..... got tickets to the Rolling Stones in Newark Dec. 15th! Yes, I'm too old to be going to a rock concert, but if they're still able to play, I'm still going....
