Zip's gonna hate me
Aug. 3rd, 2009 11:01 pmSo I've got a new system that will actually be good for me as far as the horses are concerned. It might even get me back into riding shape which I am sadly..not in.
Phoenix is home now and so I have to ride her at least 5 days a week to keep her in shape and keep her from forgetting what she has learned. This is good for me since I have been fairly unmotivated as far as riding is concerned. But that also means that Zip is gonna feel the burn too.
I figure since I have to be out there and riding her anyway, I might as well ride Zippy as well. He already doesn't like this plan and we are only 2 days into it. I don't ride when no one is home anyway, and my mom doesn't want me riding Phoenix without here out there since..well she is young and anything can happen. So when I am almost done with Phoenix, I tell her and she goes and gets Zippy saddled up and brings him out and I just jump on him.
It also means that Zip gets to enjoy the same training aids that Phoenix does. Which means...training rings. And OMG does he hate those. It means he has to work even harder, which is good for him.
So yes, perhaps the three of us will get in shape...with the show season almost over. Ah well..better late then never. We'll just consider this an early start for next year.
