Oldies

Goodness it's been awhile. Harry is still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. His been in maybe 5 lessons so far with 3 different people. I haven't been doing more than jumping on bareback everyonce in awhile since he's back to work. Everyone loves him and it really seems like he's gaining some weight.

He's really eating well now. We have him on Progressive Senior sweet feed, One n' Only, Profile Nuggets, alfalfa, coastal, and some supplements. A friend of the family who happens to be a vet saved us a solid $75 by drawing a blood panel up for us. Turns our all of his vitals are great but he has low levels of red blood cells so he's on a supplement for that as well.

One student in particular has fallen for Harry. She is on the older side, and she recently had her own elderly horse pass and has been riding her young teenage Percheron cross (and getting bucked off). She quickly fell in love with Harry and they've had a few really awesome lessons together. They even had a circle or two of canter in the last lesson. It really is quite a good match since they both need their walk breaks.

Everyone is always amazed at what he can do: he's just about the easiest horse I've ever tried to connect, his lateral work is still superb, and he has suspension in his trot that you wouldn't believe.

Not bad for 28, I think
