Studman

Jaye and I took the horses to HEP today. Chance was in a very good place, calm, happy and willing. No tightness in him at all. We were doing great until......the Beautiful Valentine showed up. She was also in heat. Chance, the great Casanova that he is was like a teenage boy. His mind was gone and I really never got him back enough to ride anymore. He has been gelded but he definitely has some testosterone running through that body of his. He was willing and ready to take care of business. So I decided to make the best of this situation and worked on getting his mind back. I did get it in small pieces and he never completely lost control so I'll call it a success. After a good amount of working with him on the ground A took Val out and rode around the outside of the ring and I let Chance loose to do whatever he wanted. He chose to mow as much of the grass around the inside of the ring as he could. It was an interesting day.
