Well, Remy's weekend pass got canceled - now Chambord and Teddy are coughing. So for Remy not to get exposed to the infection again he has to stay at Judy's. Lisa, the barn manager, and Judy made sure that Remy's turnout time is almost like at home. This is not easy with the number of horses that have to get rotated through the paddocks, so both Remy and I appreciate it very much.
Luckily, we were able to pick up where we left off with our training a few weeks back. Remy went back to work soft and supple. Actually, our back to work faced some weather challenges: On Tuesday we were completed "Thundered out", and on Wednesday we had to ride to grumbling. Yesterday all was well and yay, we got good changes. Judy has been on me to be quieter and softer, and in turn Remy is going better.
As the season is coming to an end I've decided not to try to squeeze in the last show. As much as I would have loved to go to Majestic next week (it coincides with a wedding we are invited to Up North), Waterloo doesn't appeal much. So the plan is to solidify Third and start Fourth over the winter, and then see what we'll have next year.
In the meantime, I have two more boys at home that request to pass the applesauce - Just don't tell them I hide the meds in it!
