Icky day

I felt icky today.. dan felt icky... (ish). Meh... I was getting a migraine too but... it was a gorgeous day... so....

I got on and we hacked to culdesac and in Art's field very briefly. On our way back (because I forgot I left the water running in the trough) a fedex truck came in. Dan started to freak out and was threatening to spin and bolt, but they kept coming. I finally got them to stop and jumped off. The delivery guys were all apologetic, but dudes... stop driving at the horse that looks like he's about to dump me please! Argh. I turned the water off though and headed to pasture to hack to arena. 

Once we got to the arena I set up single pole... and we did side pass and then straddled the pole. He did it well but not for the video ;) ha ha... of course

 

So then I got back on and we trotted. And he felt lame. Behind maybe?? So... I guess we go back on previcox. I tried to trot a bit longer and we did some small circles. but he just felt earthbound and sluggish. He didn't want to move and definitely didn't want to be short and more collected. I did some leg yields and you could tell that he was trying to be good, but he was definitely still lame. Poo. I was going to quit but he perked up heading towards the trot poles so we trotted those twice and did a few good transitions and then we headed home. Good boy though. Thanks for trying.
