We had to cancel our pas de deux because Reno was lame. I didn't notice it while we were walking around, but he was massively flipping out all the time. This wasn't helpful for Keno's mood either. Vicky pointed out that he was limping on his right hind sometimes, and indeed it was really hurting him. I guess it should have been a clue that he wouldn't take a treat this morning without it practicaly being forcefed to him. Anyway, the recital was fun to watch, the baked good were excellent and I got a picture of me in a doctor's buggy.
Its not as though we had actually practiced our routine anyway. So maybe it was a good thing. All I know is that I shudder to think what Reno would have done when we trotted through an 150 degree turn to the right. Or through that canter serpentine.
I guess its back to business. Colonel has been ever so slowly improving on leading around outside. I still want to hitch Star to a singletree next time I get the chance. That will be thursday I think. It feels strange to be doing so much groundwork again. Especially the leading outside work, how long has it been now since I last did that? Two years? Maybe it would be fun to teach Colonel to drive, or rather, fun to have him for a driving horse. I could tire the crap out of him on a regular basis without feeling bad for having to keep him in a circle all the time. Pipe dreams are fun.
