So happy.

The new barn is great! Just great.  Koda is settling in well, and I am sure he’ll be even happier once he is out of quarantine.  It’s nice to have him so close to home, with such nice amenities. I still need to get some photos!   We rode today, our second ride at the new place – and he was great.  Listened, and really took care of me, as always.  

It’s about time we get back to work, me and Koda. For the past three months, we have pretty much both been “slack”.  We didn’t get a great deal of time to school with the distance and the fact that there really was no arena suitable for schooling, and when I was out today I FELT it. I am OUT OF SHAPE!!!  I was huffing and puffing, and so was Koda.  So we are in a routine now just trying to beef up our endurance and get ourselves back in to shape.  I need to lose about ten pounds that I have managed to put on without riding, and I need to start exercising again!

So I think as of now we are going to be ridin three times a week, and then I am going to lunge him three times a week – and take better care of myself and see if we can’t get this party started again.

Today we just hacked around and worked on some transition work. I need to wear spurs really, because my leg is just DEAD lately. Ugh.  I suck.
