Hey Darlin',
After a good night sleep and having to get up with the early alarm, I went to an appointment with a dermatologist for a skin tag removal, which took no time at all, then got back to camp by 10:30. Jo had asked me to have Flash ride along with her new horse Nikki, so she arrived shortly thereafter, and we got saddled up and eventually hit the trail, though we did a lot of schooling before that. Jo did a lot of walking, and Nikki misbehaved a lot more than Jo expected, so it turned into a pretty long day. We came back after about 3.5 miles, waited a bit, then went out again. Flash was unbelievably patient, which really surprised me, but it seems he getting used to the teacher role that has been thrust upon him. Nikki wanted to do more than walk, but Jo was insistent that was all we were going to do today, which is fine, since teaching Off Track Thoroughbreds to walk truly is a challenge! She improved a bit, though not as much as we both would have liked, but obviously, it's a long slow process that Jo is just at the beginning of. I'm rather glad those crazy days with my horses are over! Once we got back the second time, I put Flash away and after Jo left, headed over to Willards for a prime rib dinner, tonight's Valentine's day special. I haven't had prime rib (or much beef at all) since the Red Rock Ride last June, so I figured I was entitled to splurge. Nice not to have to clean the kitchen! Got back at six, fed the horses, and settled down for the evening with a full stomach. Watched a little TV, and won't be long out of bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
