Well good news, bad news (like normal *sigh*). Thanks to everyone that works on my floor at work being sick with the cold, I now have the cold as well. Which is why I'm sitting home on a night that I would normally be at the barn.
Good news is that I did have a good ride on the weekend with Oscar, and Chilly continues to progress with D. The co-op student at the barn rode her last week, and she went very well for him. I hope to be back on her in a couple of weeks. She is lacking speed or impulsion, but that can be taught, the fact that shes not in a big hurry to go anywhere is good for her future as a western pleasure horse.
So we have a clinic coming up on April 1st with Lucas's old trainer at our barn, and just found out today that we can get into another clinic the first weekend in May with the same trainer. That will be good to have a follow up on what we have or have not accomplished in a month, but its also at the show grounds where the AQHA and APHA shows are held that we hope to go to by the end of the summer. It will be a good chance to get her off the property, to a new place without the stress of a show and we'll have some extra hands on deck if I need them.
It will be nice to have an outside perspective that we (D and C and I) know and trust that can let us know if she's as nice as we hope she is.

I feel like so many people right now have whatever crud is floating around, and apparently it's not just staying local! Feel better!
The clinic sounds like a great learning experience, especially being able to ride where you eventually want to show .
