It rained over an inch each of the last two days up at the horse ranch, so my trainer didn't come this morning. However, I drove up there. After being INSIDE for 5 days, I was itching to get out and have some horse time! It really was very slick up there and I noticed Gigondas standing at her corral gate (that means she wants OUT!), so I asked the ranch owner if she thought the arena was too slick. She said Gigo would be okay as long as she didn't take off running. So, I haltered her, took her to the tie rack, groomed her, and told her to walk SLOWLY in the arena. Apparently she listened because she behaved herself. I took Sunni up to the round pen so he could practice tying (he actually did very well up there), then I drove to the feed store to buy 6 bags of pellets. I like to supplement their straight alfalfa with Bermuda and timothy pellets. I also supplement with a supplement that has probiotics, yeast, and some molasses. When I buy 12 bags of it (about every 6 months), I get a free bag, so I got my free bag today. BUT, that meant unloading and putting away 6 very heavy bags. I've been driving a green smoothie this morning and I really DO have much more energy! (I mix coconut milk, a protein mix, wheatgrass (powdered), and a green drink and 1/2 banana)...Anyway, as I was driving back from the feed store, Gigo came right up to the arena fence and followed my car along. Like she missed me! Or, she wanted some attention! That's a real breakthrough for her! I gave everybody a nice pellet mixture for their lunch and headed home because the thunderheads were gathering and it was getting VERY humid!
