Horses in at night.
Mon. 19th - 4 hours. Gave lesson to boarder. Given no notice for lesson. Lesson went well. BL and mother of student couldn't understand why student was not 'jumping'. Student's abilities limited to walk/trot. Came to lesson with Chambon and Grackle noseband. Yanks hands to stop. Has no idea about balance or using body and seat to ride. Only rides off hands. Horse inverted and stiff. At end of lesson horse was soft and through. Frozen buckets and water lines. Have to take water from bathroom to all paddocks and fields, BL takes large open tub and fills with house water and leaks it all over, rages over weather and wants everyone to leave again.
