The Waiting Game.

Vet appointment is booked for Lucas early next week, cross your fingers all goes well and he'll be off to his new home before the New Year.

Still working with the Project Pony Max, who is doing very well with the saddling, and is just about ready to start driving next week. Hottie banged her leg up outside so she's getting a bit of a break while Max stays in more consistent work for another week or two.

I got to ride Lucy again last night and had some fun while getting her to lighten up her shoulders and front end. We are both horridly out of shape but we are setting some fitness and eating goals for me (and for Lucy) which should help both of us out over the next month or two.

Part way though the ride C remarked that I had now been riding Lucy longer than I had ridden Lucas for any one stretch last summer/spring. I guess that Lucy is just fun, and I can ask her to do stuff without having to worry about her reaction. We are still mostly just walk/trot with a little lope (well more like a canter) thrown in but that's something that will come with time. Its also SO nice to have a nice jog! Lucas trot wasn't bad but I don't hurt all over the next day when I ride Lucy.
