So Friday I sprained my ankle - spent the afternoon lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself instead of taking a jumping lesson on Pico. Of course the wind was howling also, which just grates at this point. Could we just move on to summer please? ... nope, snowed yesterday and cold and gray again today.
Put the horses out in the 3 this morning -- Pico ran (ran) straight out to the far corner and crawled through the fence into the neighbor's pasture. I gimped over to catch him, dragged him home, and spent the next hour repairing the fence. Put him back out to see what happened. He galloped back to the corner, stuck his head under the top wire and thought about whether or not he could still crawl through. Then he ran around the pasture a couple of times, hassled Gracie, dashed back to the corner and stuck his head under the top wire to think about it some more. Someone needs to explain to him that cows crawl through fences. Horses don't. And he didn't for the rest of the morning at least.
Tomorrow I will ride again.
