We had a great week of lessons last week (before the closing of our new house and the subsequent slavery it has required) and then Big G managed yet another booboo. He's the king of owies, our boy! And we can't figure out how it happens. There are no sharp edges in his stall or paddock and there isn't anyone close enough to kick him. Silly horse!
So after a few days of bandaging and cold hosing he was back to full health and the cut on his leg is nearly imperceptible. And our horse nursing skills are getting the rust knocked off!
Before his owie we had 3 great rides in a row, all culminating in a trip up to the top of the logging road to partake of the beautiful view of the mountains and valley below. He really seems to take a moment and appreciate his surroundings.....
This week is mostly being used to get the house in move-in condition (and soon we'll put up horse/dog fencing and a new "barn" for Guinness) so Rachel's putting in some training time. Erin will squeeze in a ride today before the movers come so she'll pass along kisses from all.
Rachel sent us this picture of Guinny in his paddock yesterday with his new little Quail Buddy. He looks really happy, doesn't he?
