I was up bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning after having an early night last night. I couldn't get into the party spirit after a day at work so I settled for hot chocolate and reading Phoenixhorse barefoot forum on my laptop instead. I have become a barefoot geek!
The girls both seemed a bit tender walking over the planings to come in today. I think both Ruby and Millie have a bit of thrush appearing in their frogs. I'm not sure if this is related to the changes I made to their diet recently or the horribly wet ground.
We stayed in the arena because I am doubting that Ruby is landing heel first. I think she has signs of excessive wear at her toes so I am worried that I have rushed the introduction of walking on tarmac. This coupled with the sensitivity over the planings has been cause for concern. I shall try to upload a couple of video snippets and I would welcome any feedback.
I've been snuggled on the sofa this afternoon as the weather has been grim. I have picked up a couple of sales bargains from equestrianclearance.com in the form on patent over-reach boots (in the hope that one day we can look like snazzy dressage divas!!) and a shaped Tekna girth. My finger has been hovering over the purchase button of an Equilibrium massage pad but I am currently resisting. My favourite site GJW Titmuss has them only marginally more expensive than second hand ones on ebay. And speedy free delivery to boot!
I am currently debating whether I should bring the girls in tonight. The rain is lashing down and the wind is shaking the sash windows. I hate the winter.
