Preparation Station

So, Miss Cassie- La is definitely going to training on the 20th. She's got to bring with her polos, her bridle & bits, grooming brushes, show sheen, shampoo- all the stuff to bring out the fancy show horse that she is inside, LOL.

So yesterday during my errand running, i picked up some of those things that she will need to bring with her. This weekend i'll be assembling her "overnight" bag, LOL. Why is it that i have several sets of polos that are missing a wrap? Is that like the equine version of losing socks in the dryer?

Anyhoo- I also had a hot nut to condition my saddles- so got some more supplies, and last night, when about tack cleaning and conditioning. my hands, despite scrubbing, still have the conditioner smell on them.

Cabo also got braided last night. his mane has gotten unruly- flip flopping from side to side, mostly at the top. So I plaited them...and he looks like a child's pony right now, LOL.

Other things to do prior to the 20th:
  • slow transition to Safechoice, as that is what she'll be eating.
  • clean and fix her turn-out sheet so she doesn't look like the Slumdog of the barn.
  • more conditioning work
  • wearing tack
  • maybe even hop on a couple times to remind her of her pre-training skillz.
Lots to do!
