12 horses to San Martin today. Mono met us there to help Martin school a bunch of them over fences. It was a very early start (5:30 in the barn) and it took a little while longer because David wasn't there to drive. Katie and I got off an hour early though which was nice.

Rawr, forgot to write until I was falling asleep. We took another load of horses over to San Martin and then got to putz around doing barn work all afternoon. Really, nothing special.

No blog post yesterday, mostly because it was our day off and there was absolutely nothing to write. Katie and I stayed in bed most of the day and she slept and I watched TV. Very good for a day off though.
Today, on the other hand, started nice and quickly. We took a load of horses over to San Martin to ride, mostly ones that had miss the most work because they weren't on the show schedule with the others. I rode Twilight and Geologo while there. Then we came home and took two sets out for hacks on the roads. First I rode Justinion and then Cylene doing nice trot sets around the block. The afternoon was fairly slow but somewhat relaxing. Katie went with Martin into Capital while I stayed home. We stayed up way to late last night and I wanted to relax and chill out, especially with out net back again.

We tried to ride today, didn't get far though. We were taking horses out and around the block to stretch their legs but aft the second set another storm rolled in which put an end to that. I rode Cylene and Geologo though. Then we were stuck doing random stuff around the barn, mostly helping the guys. Of course, in the early afternoon our Internet went away which put a damper on our day. Dinner and off to bed early.

There was really nothing to do today. With the ring still soaked and all the horses clipped and looking good, Katie and I helped the guys in the morning. In the afternoon we went into the Hipico with Rachel and Martin to watch the 1.40m class which was fun. There were a lot of nice horses and some really cool rounds. It took a while to get home thanks to traffic but then dinner and bed. Well at least, we tried to go to bed, but then Criminal Minds came on and it was a really good one so we stayed up. No idea what we are doing tomorrow...

I managed to sleep through my alarm this morning. Thank you Katie for waking me up. Somehow I managed to shower and eat before 5am when we started getting horses ready in the barn. Off the farm by just after 5:30 and to the grounds with time to spare. We managed to get the same stalls as yesterday and got started. We had the series 1 and Benito and Puccini. So Justinion, Cylene, Georgia, and Mauro. I school Justinion a little in the early morning and walked him around for a bit. Mostly I tacked horses up, untracked horses and took video for Martin. The horses were good despite the limited work this past week with our ring flooded. Not sure what we will do tomorrow but at least tomorrow starts at the normal time. Sleeping in!

Horse show day! Up at 3:45am and off the farm by 5:30. We brought Benito, Puccini, Luli, Nixon, and Skyline. Benito and Puccini were just there to school since they are showing tomorrow and our ring is pretty much useless. I schooled Nixon early to get him out. For the most part I took video and rode horses back to where we had them tied. The series show is tomorrow so another early day and probably another afternoon of putting around looking for stuff to do. Heading to bed early.
