The glint in the eye...


Well, that far off look can only mean one thing...
 
This Irish lass and her lad would really like to be eventing at Morven this weekend. Alas Easter.  For fear of jinxing myself let it remain unsaid that we have the proverbial glint in our eye and can't wait to eat up a cross country course, hopefully sooner rather than later.  I am finally starting to see glimpses of what a neat guy this is and its really exciting.  Let us not forget our stalwart Zigzag, who is finally healed from his fractured cannon bone, and will be starting back to work next week. 
 
Two weekends ago we had the occasion to show Tsjesse and Goodman at the first show of the year, and after knocking some rust off the first day, I am proud to say that Tsjesse did a solid I1 on Sunday, and Goodman made his FEI debut at Prix St. George. Anyone that knows Angela Hambrick and this horse's story, know what an accomplishment this is, and I am so excited that she is finally reaping the rewards of all her patient commitment to this horse's training!   It was a very fun show, and now we can really buckle down and work on Tsjesse's demo ride for Rolex.  I think I have some fun music; yes its classical, but COOL classical, and we are going to get Charlotte's seal of approval tomorrow. Tsjesse is combating a bit of a sore back, so he gets to see the chiropractor tomorrow along with some of our other competition horses. 

I am hoping to get Captain started on his new Cavalor feed this coming week, and maybe weather permitting ride OUTSIDE.  I think we have all had enough of the rain/sleet/snow dance...lets do a sunshine dance.  I'll be looking for that little glint.
