November 4th, 2010
I did try the EquiAmi yesterday on Andy. It was a bit hard to figure out how to adjust it but he was quite game in trying it out. It did seem to shorten him up a bit but I still have a terrible time with the canter transition. He just runs into it which is kind of the same problem I have when I ride him. Actually yesterday he ran into the canter and then took off bucking but I got him back pretty quickly. I worked him for about 15 minutes then unharnessed him and let him tear off into the pasture. He needs a running buddy to help him get rid of his yayas.
Nothing today. It rained much of the day and I kept them in until about 1. It has stopped raining but it is cold and I am lazy.

EquiAmi
My new EquiAmi lunging aid came in the mail. I think I am going to muster the energy to try it on Andy right now.
Cato
My Jack Russell Cato has the horses completely rattled. He stands on our porch and barks incessantly. The horses have decided that his alarm should be heeded and are standing in their pasture looking for trouble.

Andy and Boozer went to Chapel Hill today to have their feet done. Andy got x-rays and new shoes. It turns out he is back sore because his hind toes are so long. He has plenty of sole and with his new Natural Balance shoes should be ready to rock'n'roll. Boozie has feet of steel with no need for shoes. At 25 he doesn't do that much anyhow.
As I am growing weary from stall cleaning already, I am going to leave them turned out tonight. I am hoping that they will chase the coyotes out of the pasture.
Tomorrow if it isn't raining I will trot Andy around in the field and see if he feels better.
Oh, Andy weighed 1410 pounds today. He is looking a bit thin but I am not going to try to put weight on him.

Andy = Olando
Olando is Andy's registered name. Everyone confuses it with Orlando which I hate. This is a photo of Andy in his pre-me days.
