My apologies for not updating in awhile. My personal life has been very hectic, and it's impacted my availability to update the blog.
UK's been good. The weather was extremely dry and windy for a good few weeks, causing a fire watch to be in effect. The ring was a dust bowl, so we stuck with trail riding for awhile. UK has been getting much braver on the trail, acting more mature then in the past. His cool-as-a-cucumber attitude about bridges has proven to be very helpful, as he doesn't mind leading over them when other horses are unsure.
We also been doing flatwork in the ring, and started getting him ready for flying changes. UK isn't sure how he feels about them, but he's trying to understand what's being asked of him.
It's been raining a lot lately, which is a good thing. It's kept me from riding (I also got a nasty cold/sore throat thing last week), so UK's had it easy past week or so, just doing some lunging instead of under saddle work.
I'm hoping to get back to it this coming week!
