48 Days until Showtime!

    Wednesday was a challenging day because of the heat. We
continued to work the horses early in the morning and late in the evening and
even the temperatures were still close to 100. The horses are showing signs of
stress because of the relentless heat. Their attitudes are the most apparent
sign they are more easily agitated and would rather just be left alone. A
reporter from the Lincoln county journal was out Wednesday and we worked them
for her for a short time in the heat of the day.

                
     Thursday gave us a break in the weather with a little rain in the morning
and cooler temperatures. We taught Braydon’s filly to lie down and I’m not sure
but I think they curled up in the middle of the arena floor and took a nap. I
asked Braydon if he’s ever had so much fun doing something and with a big smile
on his face he said no.

    This morning we rode around the subdivision and we were met by a
growling barking Australian Sheppard charging at us. That was interesting for
awhile and after the horses regained their composure we saw another dog not too
far down the road but he was a lot more docile and gave a better chance to
expose the horses to a dog in a mild way. Then we rode on picked a couple plums
saw a few white tail deer. Then came back to the barn where Cindy had Breakfast
ready.
