Update and it's been too long

It has been way too long since I last updated.

Well we have been at the new barn for almost two months and I absolutely love it. Other than the amount I have to drive. It takes 30+ minutes to get there. But I am moving out that way in 7 months so I can't wait!!!!

We had a bit of a saddle fitting fiasco. I bought that Wintec and it was just horrendous. I hated it, he hated it. So I sold it and mixed with Christmas money bought a new one! I AM IN LOVE. I have never had such a nice piece of tack in my life. I got a Collegiate Diploma Convertible in an 18" seat. I finally have a seat that fits me correctly. I have to retrain my crotch to know I don't have to ride on the pommel anymore. Yippee! So here's the saddle on derpus when I first got it. I have only gotten to ride in it once so far because of the awesome weather and my work schedule.

I got the best trot i've had so far since we moved. He gets so wound up and stops listening to me. He is so focused on all the other horses and what they are doing. He just flings his legs around everywhere. I get to the point where I have to focus on putting basically each foot down for him. But after some convincing, I got a super nice relaxed round beautiful trot yesterday. Got a few circles and stopped. He hasn't been worked much so I don't want to throw him into it super fast.

Super awesomeness is America's hoof has healed up all the way. I love my farrier. He doesn't even charge me more for coming out to this new barn. Great guy! **note: I just noticed his shoes are crooked in this picture. I am going to look into this this evening. He's not tracking different or anything. I would like his shoe to get off of his heal bulbs completely so I will talk to him.

For reference, this is was about a week after I started treating it. There was a ginormous hole in his central sulcus. Over an inch deep for a shatty farrier job.

But that's my good news. I am so happy and so ready to be able to work again. AND America doesn't know it but he's got a chiropractor appointment Thursday. I think he is going to feel so much better afterwards. I am excited to see how this helps his hindend because I am certain he's out.
