Cool

Finally we are getting a break from the heat. It's been cool at night and not to bad during the day. Get a chance to play and ride Sunday....it was awesome! Zone 5 driving with tossing the rope over his back for change of direction that went really well! Chicle followed my feel about 90% of the time. The one time he didn't follow my feel he just keeped going straight so I just went with it until we got to the end of the ring and i got him right back with me. Riding was great canter freestyle if going so good. He picks it up so easy now I love it. Turn on the forehand and turn on the hind end without reins is still a little punky in some ways. Chicle keeps trying to take over and after doing it once he thinks he should do it again without me asking. Probably wants to get another cookie.

Going to try something new with Chicles hoofs. Next time he gets new shoes we are going to put the sigafoo glue on shoes. I'm hopping it will be next week. My hope is that without the nail holes his hoofs will grow in better then maybe we have a stronger hoofs. My farrier said something about trying barefoot but I have to admit that makes me very nervous. I'm not going to be closed minded to it though. I'm willing to try anything as long as my horse is not lame. I know him so well and when his feet arnt feeling good he's not a happy boy. Everything goes down hill when his feel hurt.

On another note a friend gave me a 2 month supply of rapid flex supplement. It's Glucosamine HCI, Chondroitin Sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid, as well as a blend of natural herbs. I have to say Chicle is feeling so good being on it. It's been about a month and a half now and that stuff is great!
