Hormonal and tired and blue....
but didn't realize it this morning. was supposed to rain but held off, so took dan for a hack. rode bareback. just enjoyed ashland. trotted a little but he was more strung out or I was weaker so.. it was harder to stay on him today without bouncing. went to the "cathedral" and then did hookie trail and the kids were at recess and were really scary loud. Like.... do I need to call 911 loud? cause it sounds like they were screaming for their lives vs just playing dodgeball. But it was just some game.... so... we had to stop and stare but we were fine. as were the kids. Snacked along the way.
did the water treadmill. such pretty skies. then went to arena to do our liz homework. From what i could remember... maybe I need to avoid lateral work. he wasn't as willing to collect today but did some good shoulder ins and leg yields. but then i played with half pass and his tongue came out. sigh... ugh... sorry buddy. We quit with lateral work and just did two easy leg yields and a lengthen and headed back home.
trying not to cry... trying not to let him feel my disappointment. but couldn't help it. so hormonal. also saw that Danielle put Alibi down today. His full sister... she was probably only 17. :( sadness
tonight shockwaved his hocks and stifles... lots of licking and chewing... went back and looked and maybe the cantering issue is a SI joint issue... the injections seemed to help that last time and it's been a really long while since he's had it done. Also no hock injections since renovo in dec... but that should still be holding... and his neck hasn't been done since November 2023! But.. he also had the surgery in May 2024...
