Weekly Update

Bev told me to be sure to take pictures of Kruiser as he grows up. I'm going to try and remember to do that on a monthly and prn basis. I need to remember to take pictures of his hooves today before Cecelia trims them. Will also start an album to record these pictures in.

Kruiser is doing really well. Seems very secure in his surroundings. Got his remaining spring time vaccs last Friday and had a very sore neck by the afternoon. 1gm of bute fixed him right up and he was all better by Sat AM. Feeding has become a hassle because the other horses are eating his food so now I am feeding him at night with beet pulp, amplify, alfalfa cubes, supplements and 1/2 scoop of pellets. No complaints from him - he loves it! I am going to get Riley used to that mixture so he can have it at the horse shows. At least at the night time feeding. Rode Kruiser for Bev last week and she was quite pleased. Gave me some things to work on. I do have to remind myself that he is 3...I never actually consider lunging or round penning him might be a good idea before I get on. So far he has been very, very good.

Riley - as always is a star. Super good in last weeks lesson - relaxed and rhythmical through out the entire lesson. The 3 mile walk in the morning helps him so much. I wish he was better behaved on the road and could go on his own. He still is a bit spooky. Will take him out on Friday AM and then school him in the PM.

Having 2 horses is tough. Trying to get 2 ridden and brushed is really hard on the days I work. Sometimes I get one ridden, sometimes all I can do is brush them. I am working hard to shed them out - I really want to clip them but won't!! So on my days off, I will ride both - or at least work Kruiser on the rope halter - everyday.

Looks like more rain tonight - hope it holds off until I have ridden them both! Trailer training for Kruiser on Friday.
