Oh boy lots of things going on. Finally got my farrier out for Chiclet last Tuesday. Then he lost a shoe on Thursday looked like he was running around in his paddock. He was very sore on it even after my farrier put it back on friday. I let him hang out for the weekend hopping that he would be good for my lesson with Sarah Berg (soon to be 2 star instructor) on Monday, but when I played with him Sunday afternoon he wasn't quite right. So I'm now going next Monday for my lesson with Sarah. I'm very excited and can't wait to hear what she was to teach me.
Not sure if it's me or Chiclet that can't focuse lately but we are both all over the place. Played and rode yesterday and he was such a punk and I realized that I was being a punk back to him. Today I made sure that my mind was on my horse when I got the barn and things were better but when I went to bridle Chiclet he left me, that hasn't happened in a long time. I haven't had cookies the past week and cookies are a big part of getting Chiclet to do things for me. I'm stopping at the store tomorrow for cookies. I need to start bringing my iPod with me when I play and ride it really helps me only think about my horse and not the hundred things that are fogging my brain. It's so true that our horses are a mirror of us.
