which_chickIf a plane lands at 11:30 pm and the airport retrieval specialist lives a two hour drive from the airport, what time does the airport retrieval specialist get to go to bed on the day the plane lands?
Trick question, my bad. Bed actually happens the next day, along about 1 am.
Nice day out with Peake and Te, threw some dewormer down them. Still shedding mats of gross hair, which I guess is good. Te seems to be growing up instead of out. *sigh* Out would really make her look better.
Te cantered nicely on the flat, went straight back to a flat walk after. She's really just quiet, doesn't have a lot of lively in her. She's calming down a lot and is a pretty pleasant (if regrettably non-forward) ride. We did some sections of sustained trotting, really nothing to write home about. Someone will like her, but that someone is not me.
Peake got extra circling until she decided that yes, she could just walk (it was windy and a lot cooler than it has been, so more energy). It was funny to see her self-rate (get to the just-before-trotting walk and then rack it back on her own, on a loose rein) but nice to know that's coming along as well. Lots of eyeballing today for Peake, might have been the wind. Her downhill skills are improving and I got to thinking -- she's living in the upper field, which doesn't have the steep grades that the lower field does. Maybe her hill skills suck because she doesn't get everyday practice at them. The obvious answer here would be to stuff her in the lower field, except that she goes through the fence back to the upper field when you do that. *sigh*
I also worked on leg-based steering for the pair of them. Good times.
