Clip, clop, clip...

Last night, I tripped on the lumpy and frozen rock hard ground and beat the tar outta myself, so I'm hoping it won't interfere too much with riding. If it does, I'll call it a day early.
Instructor is a bit snowed in and not coming to the barn today.
If I get permission to use the saddle she uses for the gelding, then I'll go myself and work with him, hopefully on transitions up to trot and back down to walk and moving off from a stop.(Instructor would like more practice of that.)
I'll still record it to share with you guys.

Take care of yourself, Secuono. Give yourself a day's break to see if you need time to heal from your fall.

Ended up staying home today. Too sore and too much to do before our big snowstorm tomorrow! 10-24in, even up to 30 inches! =0

After that first day of rest to assess any damage to other then your pride, nothing gets the 'sore' out of the body like a good work out. (Or perhaps that's just my way of telling my body who's in control.)

Almost forgot to add a picture from today's little ride. Head cam faced too high up, so no video.
Going to return a saddle, so will stop by to ride again and will put the camera on the wall.
Last pic is of the test saddle. Yea, I know, too far forward. But in the end, there were a few things that made it no good for him nor me.

Girrr....he's got a hay belly now...

Goodness! Forgot to post these as well! He was moved to a different pasture. Looks like the others were beating him up too much. IDK, didn't ask.

Can you spot him??

How about now, do you see my little guy?

Weight tape say's he's lost 50#.
Here's another saddle that doesn't quite fit him, but fits me. You can see he's annoyed with the process. And...too far back.
