Keno was lame yesterday when I took him out and lunged him for about three minutes. His right hoof was warm so I asked Robert to take a look at it, and there's a tiny little puncture wound in his frog. I'm slightly amused (mostly worried, but...) that the reason he has this was because I walked him on the grass to spare him the gravelly road.
Someone is supposed to come look at Reno today, so yesterday I turned him out and rode him. It involved a lot of kicking him into turns on the forehands when he screamed back at Keno, but we did good at mounting and not half bad at turns on the forehand.
We took Tillie out- she's sweet! She's a little goosey about Robert being behind her, but was very calm and patient while he untangled her mane and tail and put lotion on her itchy spots. She was deeply intrigued by the plastic bag the lotion came in and tried to stick her whole face in it.
I fitted Niki's bridle to her and took her out. She was okay with lunging but reallyreallyreally wanted to trot. I swung up on her and Robert walked us around and she was totally cool with the whole thing. We hung around in the arena and talked to Robert and one of Robert's students and she just tucked her head against my chest and stayed there for a few minutes while I scratched her ears. Too cute.
