Week 28

Monday: 3 hours at Schwartzenberger Equine. I went down to talk to Steve about possibly interning there this winter, and got a tour of the barn and stayed and watched them ride for an hour or so.

Tuesday: 3 hours at Sunnyluck Farms. Rode Mercedes and worked on a lot of bending and giving to the bit, and then rode Buster.

Wednesday: 1 hour at Quick Performance horses. I went down to talk about interning there once or twice a week, and met with them, and rode one of their horses a little bit. Then 1 hour at Laughing Buck Farm. Round penned Lady with her head tied to try and help her pick up her bad lead. She picked it up about half of the time in the round pen, but when I got on her again to try in the saddle in the arena, she still didn't pick it up. I'm going to tie her head again on Sunday.

Thursday: 2 hours at Sunnyluck Farms. Rode Mercedes working on bending some more, and rode Buster.

Best view in town.

Friday: 2 hours at Sunnyluck Farms. Braided and blanketed DG, round penned Hercules, round penned and braided Apple, and lunged and braided Buster.

Evening at the barn, Denzel always wants to say Hi :)
Saturday: 2 hours at Quick Performance Horses. Watched a young horse being round penned, and then rode a 3 year old and gave him a bath.

Sunday: 2 hours at Laughing Buck Farm. Did stalls and fed.
