Lazy Weekend

I don't really have that much to report from this weekend.  I rode on Saturday in my Western saddle and Western spurs, and I was able to get Walker to pick up the correct lead on his good side - at least a couple times.  He was still giving me the run around, but my trainer is supposedly going to hop on him soon and give me a full report.  Since it looks like he's not hurt, she is pretty much just going to give him a little tune-up.  Other than that, I was pretty happy with him.  The barn was really busy and we were riding with some other horses.  He didn't bolt or become unmanageable, although he did try a few little tricks on me.  We even did a little bit of cantering with another horse in the ring (which is usually a disaster with him), but he wasn't that bad.  Nothing to be desired or anything, but at least he didn't have a complete meltdown.

Today, I just went out to the barn for a quick bareback ride.  It was a lot colder today, and one of the girls was riding in a quarter sheet.  I'm going to buy Walker a new cooler soon, and I'm trying to decide if I should buy him a quarter sheet as well.  I'm pretty undecided since I think that he will be ok (especially since we ride in an indoor arena all Winter long), but I'm also a sucker who would buy anything remotely useful for my horse.  I'm pretty much running my own tack shop out of my car, and I have things in there that I don't even use.

Other than that, Walker will get Monday off like normal and Tuesday as well since I have an appointment with my massage therapist.  Then we'll ride on Wednesday in the lesson.  Hopefully this week we'll also get for a little hack through the subdivision like some of the other girls did last week.  We could use a relaxing ride checking out the scenery.
