Subject: Exercizing My horses

Well it's Wednesday and since I haven't worked my horses in a while I guess I will todayI'm going to start out with Ole Mans Dancer (Baby).We are going to practice barrels and poles today.I didn't put him in the show a couple of days ago because i wanted to run Race Against Time.Well we started out pretty good but then he got to where he wasn't paying attention to the barrels and I had to put blinkers on him to get him to focus he finally did and practice went good. Then we practiced Poles he did fairly well since this is our first practice in poles I didn't expect much but he did better than I thought he would so after we got done I took him home and unsaddled and bridled and put his halter back on and put him on the walker while I practiced Race Against Time.

Race Against Time (RAT) placed 5th in Barrels in Horse Gal's English show and I hope to place about 1st or 2nd next time. When got him out of his stall he was all excited and ready to go (he reminded me of a racehorse). After I saddled him and warmed him up we went to the practice pen and practiced for 30 min. He did pretty good I think the crowd at the show made him nervous and he just wasn't quite himself.After practice we went back to the barn and I unsaddled him and put him on the walker with Baby.While I worked Choco Taco Silk.

Choco Taco Silk or Choco thats what we call him around the barn, was anxious to go to the practice pen and I was afraid he might pul a muscle in warm up he was so excited. When we were warmed up we went to the pen and practiced jumping 2-3' jumps.When we got done with practice we had been over the jumps twice and had a total of 20 faults considering that it was hot and i was tired that was pretty good. When we were done and his breath was back I put the tack up and put her on the walker with Baby and RAT.

While I worked one of my new horses Seattle Sue or Sue as she's called around the barn.When I bought her she was an eventer and a Broodmare but I think she'll make a good racer she's bred for it her sire is Seattle Slew. So I took her to the 1/2 mile track and worked her she was curious as to what was going on and was anxious to learn so I breezed her for 2 furlongs and loped 2 then we worked on her stride she would really stretch out I think if I would have let her. The when we were done with strides I took her to the barn and put tack up and put her on the walker while I put Baby up.I put baby in his stall and opened the run and added fresh water and fed him some hay before dinner.Then I put RAT up I didn't open his run until I put his water and hay in his stall because he really llikes to be outside and will go straight out and not eat or drink.So when I was done with him I Choco up and checked on Sue she was alright so I put Choco up and fed his hay to him and opened his run and gave him fresh water.Then I put Sue up and waited until I fed her her feed to give her her hay or water because I didn't want her to get colic.Then I checked on Royal Blues (Blue), Chocolate Sox (Sox), and Mystical Creations (Misty) I fed them their hay and gave them fresh water.Then I fed all of them and opened Blue, Sox, Misty, and Sue's run doors and gave Sue her hay and fresh water.

Then I cleaned up the barn a lil and went to the cabin.

And that was my exciting day!!!!!
Oh yea please bid on RAT and Blue!!!!!!!!!Please
