Riding

Well my feet had finally healed enough that I was able to go and ride last Wednesday night. I had a great ride on Lucas and we even did most of the trail obstacles (including the bridge!!!!). My friend mentioned that I would have had no expectations of him, and maybe that's why we got along better. I had nothing in mind to work on other than getting him moving under saddle. Looks like Im going to be having one last show with him next weekend, I hope I make it though it without crying.

Still waiting for someone to come and buy him, lots of interest but no serious people yet. I went to the local AQHA show on the weekend and the trainer that I took lessons from in 08 (I think I have them listed under Lessons or Bunny) told me that he had a call from the first people who tried him. After she had been out to see Lucas she called the Trainer and asked him if he would go out the next time with them. He's waiting just like I am for them to call back.

Also found out that someone at the APHA show on the 4-5th not only took down all of my posters they also went around and told people he was sold. very weird....

The AQHA show was extremely small (58 stalls in use) and considering that it was split combined (halter and english one day western the next) all of the classes were done at 1pm after starting at 9:30. The Youth classes were the only ones with more than 5 entries, and they combined the jr and sr HUS and had 5 (we had 6-13 in just the Sr last year!).

Lucas is getting his hind shoes off in the next day or two so he can start going out with other horses again for the first time since last winter :) Im off today to clip him and get everything ready for the show next weekend.
