Hard days!
Well well well, half a week passed by!
This week has this far offered a lot of horses, and a lot of physically and mental pain.
On monday we lunged the young stallions, and my favorite, Elcado, managed to knock me in my forehead with his "soft" nosebone. Result: I looked like a unicorn! Its still swollen, but better, but still a blueish colour.
After that i also rode Bo and Itza.
Tuesday was "Schriek" day, gave one lesson and then i went up on their D-pony to start giving him a proper education, and damn, there is alot of work to be done with him. But we will get there!
Today has been pretty ok actually, have only been riding Boogaloo and Itza and that has been good. Boogaloo is just getting better and better, so he is keeping the "curve" :)
For Itza i took another saddle today. An old stübben siegfried, jumping saddle, took the german reins, and let mer roll over a smaaaaall jump. Not more than 30 cm, but its just that i have tried everything, and i need to try some other things to get her loose. And also, if she really didnt want to jump because of pain or so, she would have stopped. That is something i do know. But she found it fun as hell, and finally i could feel the lovely canter that she ONLY shows when jumping is included!
The stiffness was still there in the trott, but not in the canter.
You may think im crazy for jumping a horse who is not feeling ok, but she loves to jump, and if she dont want to jump at all, then i can be sure that she is in big pain.
Joren has changed his mind about my birhday present wich i still should get, and decided today that he will sponsor my veterinary checkup with Itza. I want to go and take x-rays again, to know what is going on. After that, when i have it a bit more "black on white", then i have to decide what to do. And hopefully then its easier to make a decicion out of her perspective.
Today im again gonna try to go to bed early, because i dont sleep so good, and since the day tomorrow will be a hard one, i better get some rest!
Good night!
