Funny got to go first today! She was so excited. I took her to the barn and groomed her and picked her feet. I also combed out her mane and tail and put shiny stuff in it. And then I measured her. She was 16. 1 today!
So then we went to the arena. I saw a neat post about sure foot pads and engaging the thoracic sling, so we tried that. I put one foot on a surefoot pad and let her sit for a minute. Then we walked a circle. It's supposed to help with proprioception. She was pretty good about standing still. I'm not sure that she got anything out of it, but.. we'll keep playing with it. We then did a bit of pillar work, during which she was wonderful. Then we lunged. She was a bit sassy! She gave me a few side eyes and some head flings. But she was good and only reared once. Ha ha. We did get some good forward, down and out stretches. And I even lunged her over the cavaletti. She trotted nicely over it.
After I turned her out I went and grabbed Dan. And apparently she is in heat. And she is not a happy camper when her advances are unmet! ha ha. Poor Dan!
