While Remy enjoys his weekend goofing off with Chambord, copiously covered in mud, I am working my way through anatomy assignments. Even as I child, I never took to coloring books I'd rather read stories. So now all of a sudden I'm finding myself coloring - at last.
Actually "The Horse Anatomy Workbook" by Maggie Raynor is excellent, and the coloring definitely helps with the learning. At least I hope I'll find the Olecranon Tuberosity again!
After coloring I got to label Chambord. Luckily he was pretty amenable to have stickers placed all over him (there must have been a cookie or two or three in it for him..). Then it was time for the conformation analysis. That one I had to do in the privacy of my office. After all - I don't want to hurt his feelings by pointing out some of the flaws.
But on second thought, Chambord's self-confidence probably wouldn't take a hit if he knew his butt was not ideal!
The journey of two Morgans: *Saumur*: Dismissed as not-trainable by experienced trainers and the Amish alike. Together we worked our way from learning to steer to the USDF Bronze Medal. Saumur passed away in 2022 at the age of 26. *Remy*: Cheerful, loving -but not without quirks- on his way up the levels. This is also a tribute to the remarkable professionals helping us along the way, Roz Kinstler, Lisa Oberg, Vanessa Voltman; and most of all to Jean-Paul, husband extra-ordinaire.
