Friday Wrap - Up
I haven’t blogged in a few days mostly out of laziness and fatigue. I have been riding alot, both Miss and Cook. I have been taking it easy on Cook, since she is recovering from back soreness. I mostly have been just hacking her out, letting her do whatever she wants, and really stretching her head down in order to stretch out her back muscles.
Like my friend Shelly, I have been having trouble sleeping. So i’m just trying to wear myself out until I can get back to a normal cycle.
I waited until it cooled off at 7 to go out and ride with AW. Much much fun. Ash is a cool girl and we get along well. I rode Miss and Cook and she hopped on Apogee and Lincoln. All were exceptionally good. WAY good. No complaints at all.
I had a good time on Miss and I like her alot. I really do. She has nice gaits, shes’ responsive. I rode Cook second and I just realized in my heart, how much I love her. I just know Cook so well, and know her movements so well, that riding her is second nature. We rode in a pasture today and just cantered around. She was relaxed and ultra chill.
Cook has a cut on her cornary band I’m treating. I hope that doesn’t turn into anything.

Good luck on the sleeping thing. I’m still not there and I’m thinking it’s time to try some massage therapy. As you can see from the post time, that I’m still trying to run myself down to sleep and it hasn’t happened yet.
I’m sorry to hear Cook isn’t at her best right now. What’s a cornary band?

well the sort of funny story on that is…
she did it the sunday morning of Greensboro. and I didn’t notice it until about ready to go into my class.
It was very much like The Black Stallion (my fave movie).
I looked down and was like shes’ bleeding, she’s bleeding, shes’ cut…
