Half-Pass, Hacks, and HOT!

MEGAN: Arriving at the barn, I took care of a few bags of trash from the house, helped feed, did turnouts, and swept the indoor. Then I did both Simba and Ivan’s stall and water, walked Simba, and lightly worked him in front of Lendon. He was super, though a bit lazy in the beginning (probably a combination of being a little stiff and the horrendous heat), but after we warmed up we did some half pass and got some really good collected trot- where was that Sunday!? Simba then got a shower and some grass while he dried, and then I did laundry and tidied up in the Hunter Barn. Mica then asked me to warm up Luke, and she helped me with him. He was a bit tougher then I remembered, but was good by the end, and Mica was happy, which is quite a feat! After handing Luke off, I walked Lucy for Mica, did more laundry, and got to hack DANNY! Yay! We had so much fun out in the woods, and he was just wonderful, as usual. The Wonder Stallion (Danny) got a bath, then I scooped dinner and breakfast in Mica’s barn and went home to run. I am all showered and am now off to make dinner- taco meat on tostadas with cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Yum, yum! Then off to study…

SIMBA: Once again Mom made me work in this heat, but she took me out for grass afterward, which helped compensate for the horrible work. She is figuring out how to make me really sit and use my hind end- that means I might get some more muscles back there! When I go home to Michigan, they won’t even recognize me!
