Hard work. Bleh

Today I had a great ride on Hobo.
As to be expected, she was very good, even after her 6 week break.
She did a couple a pig-roots after jumping across a stream, but she wasnt being dirty, just feeling fresh.

I got some super cute photos of her, Atlas and Lily.
I might even get some framed.
(:

Lily has cut both of her back legs, after going through a fence.
I didnt get up close, but from I could see, they sont seem super serious, and should hopefully heal without scarring. (Fingers crossed!)
I will get her in tomorrow and put some cream on it.
She has grown much more stocky like her dad. Its cute.

Atlas has grown too.
He's looking so good atm. Hes put on some weight and gain some muscle, which has really made a difference to his appearance.
I cant wait until the end of winter when I can finish off breaking him in.
(:

Neeko was pretty good tonight.
Schooled again...
I also practised getting him to really run off the mark, which he isnt too good at.
He cando halt to canter no sweat, but he just doesnt have the speed in him like Im used too.
Im sure he will get better, I just think he doesnt fully understand that its ohk for him to really just let go and stretch out because he has always been kept screwed in.
He'll learn.

Neeko still hasnt put on any weight, and is still in light condition, despite all the hard feed that is being pumped into him. Ive never had a horse thats needed feeding this much!
My next option is Rapid Gain or something similar.
Ive been advised against it, but I really dont mind if he gets all hyper.
I can handle it, especially if it means he will chub' up.
(:
He was drenched again on saturday, which will hopefully help him.

I missed playing with Georgie today.
:|
He is always soo happy to see me, for the attention ofc.
But he's so sweet and cheeky and cute.
Im going to get him back before the holidays at the latest, so thats like 3 weeks.

I spent all day up at the farm today.
Man, I forgot how much hard work it is!
Im super tired.
I needa sleep. For a week.
