Water Horse

Shes back!!! Zena is officially a water horse once again:) and she influenced another horse to decide that it was fun:P I jumped her and she is getting much more confident. her flat work is coming along well also.  she is starting to manage to slow down her canter, still working on the leaning in part. but I it will come in its own time. I had the house to myself for the last few days, that was really nice being able to unwind and know that no one is watching me. lol Karen leaves again on Saturday to go to Galway, so I will be on my own in the barn once again for about 2 weeks? and I will be down 7 horses too:) yay for less work!!! lol I have 2 little girls that have been coming out to help out and clean stalls and feed in exchange for getting to ride the horses, they are 8 and 10? the older one is autistic so she has good days and bad ones but her mom was pretty impressed at how well I worked with her. I let the younger one cool Zena out after I rode her yesterday, and Zena was totally perfect and VERY tolerant of all the little things that the girl did with her. Her mom was just about in tears to watch her little girl tooling around on such a green horse and yet having her take complete care of her. oh and Ki ki (abbreviated from kiley, the younger girl) talked to Zena and narrated EVERYTHING that she was doing with her. It was comical. I think that if I don't get another WS position when I go to OSU that I might see if they want to lease her, I think Zena would love it and so would their little girls:) I was very proud to see that Zena does have a brain and does know how to use it:P lol ok I am really tired, going to sleep now, I will post a more detailed listing of all I have been up to when I am not dosing just sitting here:) goodnight:P
