Ran outta time, but... had time for naked time!

 I was hoping to do more pole walking today with Dan. And Lyric too to be honest. My thought was that I would bring the poles down to the roundpen to make it alot easier to do it on work days. But... I had lessons with Liz today and as soon as she left I went with Mike to pick up the triumph and that took forever! So by the time I got home it was 5ish, and... it was cold and icky and I just fed them instead of doing any work. Although I wish I had now, but... oh well. I did manage to bemer his stifle and then I taped him again. Slightly different this time, I didn't go up the whole leg.. just the gaskin to the hip. But it was already starting to pull off, so.. ugh. To be fair, he was filthy because he had naked time today and rolled in the sand pit. And I only brushed him down.. I didn't groom him or use alchohol. Partly though because I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right... the taping. And I don't want to hurt him. So... maybe Saturday or Sunday I'll have time to research a bit more and prep him better and get it to be more effective and lasting. 

But he did enjoy a nice roll. :) And he was back to cocking that leg a bit more, but... still looks better than he did for a bit. I think that I'm going to hand walk him on the "Haunted Trails" at Serenity Creek with Liz and the dogs. I just hope that he'll behave himself in hand... He tends to be naughtier in hand than under saddle. I am tempted to wait until they're about to close and maybe ride him... just because it might be less risky of him taking off ;) But they're only open until Nov 17th or something and I'm leaving Nov 14th, so... that's not too far away. I guess it might depend on how he's feeling. I'll think on it. Pray on it. I don't want to undo any healing but also, am not entirely sure that me riding him at a walk is going to be any worse than me leading him at a walk. I don't know. Maybe this is me just getting desperate and rationalizing.
