HOpe it's just for a few days -- after my last spill my back is STILL hurting from time to time. Most of the time I make sure I put my back brack on before I ride.

No way to anticipate this one.. he's been hard to recover.. more inconsistent then anything else, this maliciousness was not expected. I've never ridden a horse that spent 5-7 minutes at a full gallop at various parts of the fence trying to get me off.. it was interesting. He was going to fast to step off. > And get a BIT in that horse's mouth!! He's getting CJ's old training bit.. now that's a bit that WILL turn a horse... However he also cracked his hoof.. so no riding until I loosen up and we find out what the story is on the hoof.

I've been working with Miss PATTI almost everyday this week ....... she's not fighting against me and is actually working WITH me now!! I finally saddled her up this afternoon and worked her in the round pen with her all tacked up. I'm not quite ready to ride her yet but it won't be too long before I think that we'll BOTH be ready for that. PATTI has been calm and quiet ..... she's acting more and more like "Baby" did and we're really starting to bond nicely together -- I ask her to walk or trot or lope and she does it (sometimes with a couple of "snorts" but she does what I've requested her to do -- "Baby" used to 'snort' while we worked from time to time too). I say "HO", and she stops like she's suppose to. She stood perfectly still while I tacked her up this afternoon (like X does for me) ...... even put her head down nicely for me to slip her bridle on her ...... I think "Miss PATTI" might turn into a right nice horse after all!! PATTI is a BIG horse (like "Baby" was). She now stands a little over 16.1 hands tall and probably weighs in at very close to 1300 pounds. She's a very intellegent animal and really very willing to please ..... she loves to be told she's a "good girl" (and I DO tell her that when she's doing a good job for me). You saw what she looked like in the video I sent you -- she definately is a beauty for sure. BUT, she's sure hard to keep clean . I think what's happening is that she is comfortable with me ...... and 'm comfortable with her now .... and when we started working TOGETHER, it all started coming together for us. We'll just see what happens. I don't think she'll ever be too good with strangers ...... but you never can tell. --- * Origin: "Baby" - Gone But NOT Forgotten!!

I -> had to stop the ride on CJ. Haven't really done much in three days. I haven't been able to ride for more than a week. I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. He did that and tried to pull another tooth on the other side. He had been watching it as it was a problem already and he caught it as it was starting to abscess. I ended up at the surgeons office with a shattered tooth and a real mess. I'm still having trouble eating and can't take being jarred and the weather is great. Its the pits!! :( -> Hmmm I don't get the sore except my back which is still somewhat -> cranky on occasion. You would if you had my trainer. When my back gets sore everything else in my body seems to get sore with it. Must be sympathy pains. ;) -> Hee hee.. well.. if we have to suffer.. couldn't think of a better -> reason to suffer for. :) If I could ride everyday like I did that weekend I would be in great shape in a month. We sure are pleased with how Diva is doing and looking. When we got her all her neck muscles were on the lower side of her neck. She now has a nice top line and she has muscled out to the point that she won't be able to wear the same winter blanket next year.
