so its my first official-ish day of being laid off. I think I’m supposed to be less busy.

I got up this AM, met Nikki at the barn. She has two horses - Junior and Sunshine. Junior was getting some horsey body massage type thingy done to him, and Sunshine tagged along for her to ride in the ring.

We rode Miss and Sunshine. Miss was full of herself and quite a handful. I felt bad cause she has been going really well the last few months, but didn’t show it today. I haven’t had enough hack days on her. Not to mention, right before pulling her out of the pasture, her and Cook decided to run around like bats outta hell. Always nice to bring your horse in huffing and puffing from playing ‘Kentucky Derby’ with the thoroughbred outside. ugh! Horses!

I got to hop on Sunshine a little bit. She was good and is a nice mover, easy to get on the bit. Nikki has brought her a long way. It was her first time in a ring and her first time over big(ger) jumps. She was brave and did well.

Then we got to see the Massage Guy in action. He seemed to really help Junior but time will tell. If it helps Junior, I might think about doing it for Cook. Maybe he can fix her canter.

So I finished up the barn, came home and the day is done. I had a good time, Nikki.
