Good horse and crazy weather.

     I had a great ride on Banico today. The last weekend he had been really energetic and spooky so we cut him back on his grain again. Today he was just about falling asleep in the cross ties and was great for me when I rode. He looked like he had rolled in the creek right before he was brought in because he was completely covered in mud. He also smelled like he had rolled in the creek. He is also about done shedding and looks great. I didn't ride him very long but poped him over a little verticle someone had set up. He was much improved from the spooky horse I had last weekend.
     This evening we had a big storm come through and had a tornado warning. We didn't have one touch down near us but there was the beginnings of one that came through close to us. There was also a bunch of lightning and thunder really close and rain off and on.


Just so this post isn't completely picture free here is what my horse did to the tail flap off of his blanket a few weeks ago:

The blanket was later found outside with all the straps riped neatly off.

ETA on Saturday: Crazy lightning and thunder storm last night. Lots of rain and amazing lighting show. It woke me up twice and had to stay up and watch for awhile. The storms in CA just dont compare to the storm last night.

  1. I agree with that! Long ago I was in Buffalo NY,in summer time, I felt wet all the time from humid, then a unreal crazy rainstorm, could not see to drive! It was green and real pretty there. I do love So CA and don't ever want to live anywhere else, I love the mild weather here.
