Just a short post because I'm working on my notes for the wedding. Robbert's two best clients are getting married, the theme of their wedding is: getting hitched. I know. They want to have the bridal party members arrive in carts. I know. Anyway, its a nightmare of a logistics problem, nothing is written down and its happening on the 20th of this month. I know. I've smelled a power/organizational vacuum and I'm going to fill it if I can.
yesterday I didn't ride a single horse but I did get a lot of important things done. Alyssa and I drove Keno around with the tire. He's getting better already. Alyssa drove him and I drove him. I had fun steering the tire in between my old tracks so that it never went along smooth surfaces. Partially it was something to do, partially it was to make keno work harder.
We talked with Linda for a long time about the wedding. Decided some things. It was good.
I did some clicker training with star. Started out with a little targeting to get her back in the groove of things. I took her to the arena and we did some more targeting. My goal with that was to have her practice putting her head down. It does seem to translate under saddle some. We walked around the arena a lot and when she put her head down low enough I did a click/treat. Eventually her head had to be low for longer and longer periods. I only got up to about 5 strides but there were the two minis in the arena with the cart and that was pretty distracting.
Alyssa went out in the cart with Robert and Luca, I was going to ride Papillon but by the time I was finished changing her to a snaffle and finding a standing martingale it was 3:30 which wouldn't leave much time to ride so I got ready to feed and to clean up the barn a little.
Robert showed us the box of horse magazines he was trying to get rid of. We picked out a lot of those. Then we fed the horses. Alyssa helped me put some PVC poles somewhere other than right in front of the tack room. I once again brought my camera but failed to take any pictures. We pointed out to one of Jessica's students that they weren't going to be able to use the arena. We went home.

I appreciate your help Gillian and have you checked out our blog at haddanhitching.blogspot.com
It was to be our organizational point but hasn't turned out that way. Haven't been able to get people to go public on the website. Just about everything will be at the last minute.
I have help on food and flowers by two other people and we'll have to take pictures of Imp with lots of flowers to put on both websites.
Linda
