Bri rode Ace the other night. We had talked and I told her to go ahead and do whatever she felt comfortable with.
I am still not strong enough, but that is getting better.
I rode duncan yesterday for the first time in 9 weeks and then today had a great ride at Journey's End with Bri. I was even doing sitting trots.
I am stiff tonight but am hoping to ride both days this weekend on Duncan weather permitting.
I am so pleased she is riding Ace I still would like him in the show ring in 2010 time will tell, but I know it can be done.
He is looking great, fit and frisky, he is a pistol for sure.

Beautiful Weather
The weather here in RI has been just wonderful for the last few days and with any luck it will continue for a few more.
It is deer season here in RI so trail riding in the woods is a bit iffy at best.
Duncan is looking great, just really dirty, but he is at his happiest when he is a walking pig pen, just a big happy guy.
I did some ground work with him this weekend and I am going to try to ride tomorrow or Wed. I have a lesson on Wed morning and then will go to the barn and ride him for a bit.
Things have calmed down on the upset front and I can only hope it stays that way. It won't but I'll take calm and quiet when I can get it.
The 21st of this month I go to Maine for an awards banquet Duncan has an award comming from the Maine Horse Assoc and I am looking forward to spending time with my friend Brenda.

I'm Back, I think
I am pretty sure, I am as back to healthy as I am going to get. I did ride last Wednesday for a half hour and was not too sore afterwards.
Ace is doing well learning how to relax and enjoy his life. He has a new toy, so Bri told me this am, a Coyote. Yes, that is correct a Coyote. It was in his paddock the other afternoon and Ace man decided this could be fun and proceeded to play with the poor thing.
This am when we turned him out he was running and bucking and just plain having fun. They tell me he does this every morning.
I just looked at Bri and laughed. She's gonna be the one up on him and I have a feeling it's gonna be a ride for sure.
