Back in the Saddle

Yes I am! Not for sure though, my arm shouldn't be broken anymore but just in case I ride with my splint for protection. Spy is getting better, still a little off but doing great! We walk and do a bit of trotting, yesterday was the first time riding since the extreme long break so when I tried canter I only did a circle or two each way not to push her too hard. After cantering I trotted some more and for some reason instead of loosening up she looked stiff. Before she looked loads better and perfectly fine, canter just messes her up somehow. We are planning on getting some supplements in her diet soon, maybe that will help. 

On the other hand, you all know that I'm getting ready to get her back in shape and sold, well I found an extremely nice horse, 15.2 hh, dutch warmblood. His sire is Coreland keur, his dam is Natural Art. Real nice parents and he is also a real nice mover. Thing is people are probably attacking him and he won't be up for sale by the time my arm is completely healed. He mainly does fox hunting and has been schooling cross country. He's real upbeat and Spy is the same way so that shouldn't be too hard to get used to, other than the size of course. At the stables I've been riding some different horses to get used to changing sizes and stride lengths, different ways of jumping and attitudes. It's really fun to see how they all think differently. 

Sorry about the boring no pictures post, should be more entertaining later on.

Now about Sugar! I gave her a bath yesterday too, she was so cute! It was weird though, I was sitting in the barn with her being all nosy and she just starts licking my arm like a dog or something, then she puts her leg in my lap (I've been teaching her 'shake' and giving her treats for it so I guess she wanted food or something) and her hoof is all muddy from the walk from the wash rack to the barn. My riding pants were already soaked from her moving all the time  and then she puts her leg in my lap to make it even better. She was being cute though. She sure does like jumping, I'll free jump her in the round pen or  just around the stables we'll find little boxes or logs. I love her though, just being weird lately.
