Every so often Emily Abbate comes to the barn and gives lessons. I've heard great things about her for a long time so when Jen suggested a lesson, of course I jumped at the chance. Noble was great. We got some lovely exercises to try and help him along. He's such a good boy but still pretty young. The exercises were all geared towards helping establish the connection to his back end.
We're at the 2 week and counting mark to his debut as an event horse. It's a little silly how excited I am for this. I'm looking at the possibility of taking him out cross country schooling this weekend if the course isn't rented. He's been doing so well that I can't wait to see him tackle some XC fences. Should have some pictures of the last couple shows to share soon. Stay tuned!
In other news, the turkeys are getting big! The whites are almost the age they were last year when we butchered. The reds are smaller, but coming along nicely as well. And now that we've had some rain, hopefully they'll be able to graze a bit more. I think I still have a couple turkeys that haven't been spoken for if anyone reading this is interested in a holiday turkey!
One last bit of exciting news. I actually mowed the grass tonight!! GRASS, not just weeds! Yay for rain!!
