Back To Normal

Well Pony finally settled in to where she feels like her normal self when she rides, not a crazy ball of nerves, but now she's all high on grass. This is the first time she's been on grass full time so she's a little chunkier than normal, especially since I haven't really been out to ride that much due to rain and general ickyness, and suddenly a bit herd bound. She's never been a vocal horse, but the grass has apparently fried her brain and now we must scream for our friends when they are gone. Let that be a lesson to you all, don't do grass kids!

I love walking a mile to get her...

Fortunately none of her friends actually care about her so they don't call back. Other than the screaming she's great. I now swear by vaseline on the corners of her lips, she hasn't been chompy at all with it!!!! She got a bath, which she of course hates because it wastes valuable eating time, but the water ran off brown when I was just hosing her down so I think it was time for it to happen. I put her out right back on grass so she wouldn't roll in the dirt while she was still a little wet and my trick worked so she's stayed as clean as one can hope. She also had her feet done yesterday and no one called me to say she was a horrible disaster so I'm assuming she wasn't too naughty for the poor farrier, she tends to be a bit of a brat when I'm not there...

The Cleanest of ponies 

We're doing a schooling show late June, dressage of course, so that should be interesting. I'm going to see if I can rope a friend into the insanity so I don't have to do it alone but she's a workaholic so we'll see. Plus her horse basically just sat for the winter and she's more of a western rider than a dressage queen but it would just be for fun.

Personally we will just be doing intro test A and one in hand class. I just want to see how Pony and I do at a show. Plus I love hearing people tell me how cute she is. I think she likes hearing it too, she's a bit of an attention whore.

Wish us luck!
