Sunday and Monday.

    My dedication to blogging is being tested.  My last couple days have been crazy busy.  On Sunday I worked Rio with her new stuff for the first time.  She did an amazing job!  I LOVED the time saved and the extra support with her new splint boots.   I used one of my new longe lines to longe her and she did way better without the extra weight.  It was her third day working at a canter and she finally got into a good rhythm for a few circles each direction.  Still a little faster than ideal speed but she is starting to get the idea now.  I also long-lined her for the first time and she did amazing.  She picked up right away on the rein aids and had a very light mouth.  We did some rectangles and figure 8's.

   Yesterday I worked for a while walking, training, and grooming dogs.  After that I went to a Zumba class for the first time.  Its not really my thing.  Honestly, going into a gym for any reason other than swimming isn't really my thing because I could just go to work and get plenty of exercise.  Even though it isn't really my thing I enjoyed it a lot and I'm planning on going back next week and maybe even doing it again on Thursday.  Meanwhile I'm really sore.  The blisters that I started getting but didn't quite get from Contra dancing are definitely coming to life from Zumba.  Well, I have to work at the horse farm for a while, clean rabbit cages, sell some stuff, and try to write my TTT and do some chores later.
