Vests for our CDE debut.
Greg gets the short vest since he sits. I get the longer since I stand. Plus I might, someday, possibly, in a fantasy world, use it on cross-country.
Overall, Rodney has done little this summer. Once his ankle was almost deswollen [Dubious Future], he got a small scuff right under the saddle. Thanks Milton. Once that was healed and growing hair, I took him for a brief walk, pictured here.
Afterwards, I found a cut on the inside of this lip. Although small and nowhere near the bit, for a horse who is already hyper-sensitive, it is enough of a pea under the mattress to warrant yet more days off. [Images here, if you want the not very gory details.]
None of this has been serious. All of it has kept Rodney out of work. Do they plan it this way?
As for his trailer issues [Trailer Training], Precious Prince Snowflake Cupcake will load and stand, but is clearly miserable and panics at the first hint of confinement. I’m pondering our next step.
Sigh. Or is the sigh implied when dealing with Rodney?
Thank you for reading,

Where’s the picture of the brief walk you mentioned? Would like to see it.
I’m sitting on Rodney in the top pic. You can see his brown butt in the bottom right corner. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it. It was a short walk.
