Well as you can tell this would be a interesting post. As we all know horses and fireworks never mix. Well I thought people just did fire works on the 4th but little did I know they do them on the 3rd too! The horses are now on night turnout so, hosing Matty off from a great ride and all of the sudden Kabboooom!!! All the horses in the fields start running around in panic. The calm down so I continue giving Matthew his well deserved bath I put him in his stall and then guess what kaaaboom!!! Once again the horses start running around like retards again. Well the all settled down again except for the fours mares.
Well in this field of mares there is a little arab who likes to beat the crap out of the other horses she just kept running about and kicking,biting ect ect. The new mare in the field buttercup was scared out of her mind first the sky is exploding and now this little arab is beating the crap out of her. So I brought butter in (still scared out of her mind) and checked her for cuts and then put her in her stall.
Then, I tacked up my horse Vodka and he was already pissed because he had been kept in because I wanted to ride. Well this ride was strangly fantastic fire works and all. He had so much energy it was just great. He had really great lateral work today, his yeilds had nice cross and hunchs in you could really feel him step under. His canter work was nice and expressive even though he was a little spooky(well alot) but it was fun. Then the fire works just started going off left and right and he got to worked up so I cooled him out and put him in his field.
And of course the mares needed in because they just wouldnt calm down. By the end of the night most of the horses were in there stalls. Oh well for night turnout its the fireworks fault. Well needless to say all of the horses are staying in tonight because Im sure there will be even more fireworks.
