Journey to Rio

Paralympics

Wow, today was a great morning watching Marlo work Ari!  I needed a break.  I was worked on by my chiropractor and got a little to dizzy today.  My ribs are healing well and I am working on my neck and shoulders they are very tight.  Who here carries their stress in there necks and shoulders?  Apparently I do.. I came in with lots of butterflies to the point of tears and forgetting that Ari wasn't a dog that you can't just ask him to come.  lol I had Marlo come in his stall to help me know that if he is eating its okay to just put his halter on. I am looking for someone that does cranialsacrial work. I am sure i am not spelling it right.  I will also look for someone for stone massage probably once a month.  This will aid me in my journey. 

I was able to groom Ari today and start re braiding his mane.  Its relaxing for the both of us.  I will start making this a habit.  It helps calm me and he seems to fall asleep or relax him. I got the bridle and saddle this time. lol  On the bridle, I wash the bit put the reins on top of the poll piece, wrap the strap that goes around Ari's muzzle around the reins and the piece that goes around the throat latch twice around the middle of the bridle.  (Check Hope thats right Marlo) 

Marlo worked on softening Ari's mouth, walked, trot with and without posting, leg work and forward thinking with Ari.  Oh I pray I will look like her on my horse very soon.  Patience is a virtue and I am happy and grateful Marlo is patient with me.

I got the 4 runner back for 4 wheeling in the snow.  My MK car is going to be traded in for the cash option
