July we had:
- 23 rides
- 2 dressage lessons - major improvements in his canter and walk to trot transitions. Work in progress on differences within gaits, trot to canter transitions, and maintaining that new awesome canter!
- 4 jumping lessons in which we started to teach him a new, better way to jump
- 1 cross country schooling in which he jumped ALL THE THINGS
- 1 trail ride away from home where we got eaten alive by MONSTER mosquitoes and decided to quit trail riding off property until the fall
- 1 massage - saddles still fit and he's building muscle really nicely
- Some weight loss due to increasing work load
- Now we get LUNCH! 1.5 quarts of Tribute Kalm Performer
- Fat supplement top dressing AM and PM
- Another example of how much I LOVE my barn owner. I'd noticed a bit of weight loss and JT had remarked as well. I mentioned it to Ms. GY asking what she thought we should add and she said she had been meaning to ask me if I cared if he got lunch because she noticed too and "I don't like skinny horses in my barn"!
- Another successful farrier appointment - Yoshi did nuzzle the top of his head a few times and he gently tried to shoo him away. When that didn't work he bopped him with his elbow. Yoshi's face was SO OFFENDED. I died laughing. Farrier said he was very happy I wasn't offended and that many owners were. Nope, not at all. I am so positive Yoshi would use teeth next, I am not at all offended.
- Another month with a HAPPY and SOUND horse
