AFTER DAYS OF RAIN AND WIND AND MOWING......

I was able to ride today!! I mowed the large arena, and created a small arena next to the house, but with all the rain, we decided not to use it, and go straight to the large one. With large farm equipment rolling by, wide loads and flapping tarps, we managed to have a wonderful ride.

Harry was so supple and almost too quiet at the walk, but found the necessary energy to march on up around the logs in the back field and back down to the mowed area. Joan's treatment was amazing. She adjusted the air in the saddle and then gave him a great treatment which gave him more freedom in his shoulders, and he was nice and through with his mini flat tire of the right hind. He felt amazing! He trotted around so nicely and when we were finished, the 40 min. went flying by, he gave me a PERFECT HALT!

We have our first lesson with Valerie Knight this Sunday, and hopefully I'll get a short video or some photos to share. What a fabulous day.

I can't let the opportunity go by to give kudos to Joan A. and her amazing insight into what horses need. Please do a favor for yourself and your horse and visit her website and blog for some great information and articles.
