October 1!

So...the first of the month is upon us.

And with it the start of cold weather by the sounds of it!

Board is due today too.

Our last horse show of the year was this past weekend. It was interesting. Java was very good and was Open 2'9" champion with Lindsay. Warrior was very good on day one, but tired by day two. Justice owned the warm up ring...but had a bit of performance anxiety in the actual show ring. Mags warmed up great...but could not focus on his dressage between two jumping rings!

Also at the show was S'Argent! He looked great, and he sure went to the right home..his new owner is a very good rider. S'Argent is still a difficult horse, and in his first class he balked at the far end with a mini tantrum...but after that class his rider sent him in at a full out gallop for a lap...and then he was a very good boy who just needs to learn to at the jumps a bit more. It felt good to see him succeeding and I think he landed at the perfect home.

On a  saddish not, Spencer left yesterday :( He went back to his former home, so I am pretty confident he went to a good home which was important to all concerned as he was a good horse, just not the right horse.

I am planning to start moving the geldings around a bit into their "winter" pens. The paddock chart will be kept up to date in case you need help finding your horse ;) Lesson students also keep in mind Zander is on vacation for a while, so if you normally ride him check the board for your replacement horse!
