Cindy and Gary drove to North Texas and back today because Cindy's sister was hospitalized. It was a very long day.

LBR had another training ride today. He was FABULOUS. His flat work was perfect and his course work included flying lead changes.
After the ride, he did not want to go into the wash rack because the light was not working. Gary took him into the other wash rack and he stood quietly. After LBR dried for a bit, Gary took him down and they worked on trailer loading. Gary worked on half loads in/out and LBR thought that was what he was supposed to do. Eventually, LBR realized he was supposed to go in, stand, then back out quietly. YAY!

LBR had a training ride today. It has been 3 weeks since the trainer has been able to ride. LBR's flat work was excellent but he got a little forward over the jumps/courses so she dismounted and lunged him over a fence.
LBR was a bit silly today because there was a yearling that had escaped his paddock and been recaptured and put into a paddock next to the arena.
LBR eventually settled nicely and cantered quietly on the lunge line.
After the ride, Gary rinsed LBR and let him graze for a bit before returning him to his paddock.

It was 103F degrees when Cindy got home from work today. Gary had been working outside all day and did not feel up to going out to the stables.

Today Gary headed over to have LBR's feet checked (it's been 6 weeks) and ride.
He is able to go another week without a trim. They had a great ride - doing flat work in the arena at the walk/trot/canter and then completing a few courses. After the arena work, they took a long ride around the property to cool down.
This is LBR's sire's picture taken when we visited him in Kentucky at Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm:

Yay...Gary & Cindy are back in Central Texas. They headed to the stables to pick up the truck and visited LBR for a bit. He was so happy to see them - he nickered as soon as he saw them and didn't stop until they were at the gate of his paddock.
They let him graze in the common area for a while as they groomed the mud off of him (it must have rained on Friday or Saturday).
