Well.. my plans changed a bit. I had a crown replaced this morning and then Jacel was coming to teach me at noon and 2 pm here, because Jean's out of town so she had to teach the interns here. Plus, yesterday the arena's were still closed at Ashland. So great... and then I planned to take Dan to Ashland for a hack. But then.... the arena's opened up and I debated taking Funny for my lesson there. So I rode Lyric first and asked Jacel and she said it would be better to go to Ashland for Funny, so we did. But then I also had to get gas so then I didn't get home til 4:45. So... no Ashland for Dan. Heck, no ride even for Dan. But.. that's probably not the end of the world. Except he's already eating blankets, so.. he needed to do something. 
So... I snagged him and we headed to the roundpen. I set the poles up in a zigzag and then we had the two alternating raised half cavalettis'. So we did that 10 times. Then we did some "high fives". He was pretty good. We even got a few trips through with him totally relaxed and soft in his neck and topline. Because.. ugh.. he's lost so much muscle.
Hopefully after the holidays I can get back to a program... I think Funny will get a breather and we'll focus on groundwork and core strength and physiotherapy for all of them. And just trail ride, but taking turns.
