O.K. so it's just barely a plan, but I feel like I'm getting a start anyway. After riding both horses in the arena last weekend, something I have a really tough time making myself do, I decided 'Glory' would be my primary endurance ride horse this year. She showed me she needed a bit more polish and some focus on developing her work ethic. Although she is only 6 months younger than 'Bella', 'Glory' is a year behind 'Bella' in saddle time. I think 'Glory' will really blossom with some rides under her cinch.
I made a list of ride dates for this season that I'll take in to work and see which ones I can get vacation days for. I'm hoping a minimum of 4 LD's and maybe a 50.
Next step, get my clippers fixed and give Glory a partial clip so she can work more comfortably. Somehow I'd like to keep Bella in shape too. You never know when you might need a back up horse.
I rode Glory out on the trail today for the first time since October. We mostly walked and had a great painfree time.
