Weather, Chilly, Was 38F. Mostly cloudy, some sun. WINDY! O_O
So today I thought it would be nice to play with Jessie, ride, etc. So I go out back to get her, and they all run down to the barn, (Jessie only walking and trotting) and since they didn't eat their hay from before, they started to munch on it. Also, they've not been drinking much water. :-/ So I tied Jessie, divided the hay up so there wouldn't be any fusses. I noticed that the horses were a bit RB at everything. Jessie kept on spooking up at things. It must be the wind, but while I was tacking up English, Jessie got the lead rope around her head, and I was coming back with the saddle, She had another freak moment, and pulled back, and kept on trying to pull back, and after a few seconds, she calmed down, and I got everything back, I untangled her, and just put the rope around, but not tied. So as I was putting the blanket on again, she had another moment, so I played around with everything, making sure she wasn't spooked out anymore, so then while I was adjusting the saddle, Molly and Glory went out back at a gallop, and Jessie moved around a bit, but I talked to her, and that seemed fine, but then Jessie whinnyed to Molly and Glory, but they didn't answer back, so she figured I'd do for a herd person, so I finished saddling, and I played all the way out back, doing some circling, falling leaf, and driving from zone 5. So when we got out back, I was playing the falling leaf, (Cutting Style), and she made a sideways step. So I tried getting her to go sideways, and I did! WITHOUT A FENCE, AND I WAS ABOUT 6F AWAY! :-D I did have to wriggle the rope to have her not go forward, but this is the first time this far away! :-D And it was pretty snappy! So by then she was licking her lips, and we played the yo-yo, some more circling, then driving from zone 3 from about 4-6ft away to the stump where I mounted, and then I rode around. Mostly walking because she was really lazy like, but I got some trotting. So after wandering around, I tried some circles, and then I tried half circles, and then we wandered some more, then we stopped for a bit, then went again. Then I got the CS, and did some CS riding, and when I went to phase 4 to trot, I just tapped her lightly as if I were on the ground to drive forward, and that worked out. So then we worked on our sideways with a fence, and that went really well, then we went out, and after a bit, Glory whinnied looking for Jessie, but then didn't worry. So I rode all around the place, and went on a little trail ride, then rode around some more, here and there, meaningless, but it was good to keep going. Jessie kept on putting her head down real fast to eat. So then after a little while more I got off, gave her a Big Hug, put her in, untacked, by that time Molly and Glory came down at a gallop, and I let her loose, gave her a treat, then did chores, said goodnight, then went in.
Overall it was a Nice day. :-D
Oh yes, we've found hay! More expensive, but at least its good! :-D
