Well, let me start off by saying that my horse is one of the kindest, gentlest, sweetest horses on the planet. He is also an idiot! Duke managed to cut the top of his head on his cross-tie, and of course the (thankfully pretty minor) cut is right under where the headstall of a bridle sits, so he has been on the DL for the past two weeks while I waited for the cut to heal.
The last of the scabbing sloughed off yesterday, so Big Boy is going back to work! I only rode him for about ten minutes yesterday, working on basics like backing off the bit and bending. He got turned out every day during his down-time, so he's still fit, and I hope to have him back in fighting form for our next show Labor Day weekend.
Louisville is next week, and I'm really looking forward to stake night! I am not looking forward to having to get all gussied up - despite my girlie-girl obsession with expensive shoes, I am very much a jeans-and-tee's-and-flip-flops kind of girl, so finding a dress for Louisville is always a pain! And of course, I've left it to the eleventh hour this year, so I'm off to go do a little web-browsing to even see if there is anything I like out there...
