I have to say that I had a pretty good weekend, even though I didn't do too much with Walker. On Saturday, I went out to the barn to lunge him, but I arrived about 5 minutes after he had been grained. I was going to wait until he ate, but ever since March, he has been very slow about eating his grain. He was just taking his good ol' time so I ended up leaving without working him. We did do some of his new stretches though and I'm pretty happy at how he is trying. Of course, he'll do anything for a treat!
On Sunday, I actually got up relatively early (!), went for a "run" (go month-long bootcamp!), and lunged him all before noon. His canter was a little more strung out than previous times, and he was full of energy. He had a few meltdowns which included some bucking and galloping, but we're finally at a point with his soundness where I don't feel bad working it out of him. I managed to push him through it without him getting hurt, and I know that we're finally on a road to recovery.
Mmmmm... chocolate |
Other than that, I ended up taking a day trip on Sunday where I went to an aquarium and a chocolate factory - both exciting for different reasons! Most of my weekends have been so busy that I really haven't been able to just relax like this.
Unfortunately, this week is busy enough that I won't be able to see Walker until Thursday. I'm sure he won't mind, but then I will whip his butt into shape at the end of the week.
