I went out and got Montie and brought him in i groomed and tacked him up then lead him out with Bo on our heels. I mounted and head into the forest on one of my trails. We set off at a nice walk and started trotting i asked him to lenthin and we did and i sat deep in the saddle insted of posting. after giving a few mintutes to warm up i asked for a collected canter adn we started off. after about 5 mintues i asked for a walk and i cooled him some coming to one of my feilds with log jumps dotted over it i ask for a canter again and we went over some 2 and 3 foot log jumps Montie snorted with deleite. we slowed downa dn i cooled him out we walked back to the barn and i untacked him then hosed him downa dn turned him back out. i went back into the stallion barn and got Reb and Will and turned both out for the night. I went into the mares barn and grained them all and made sure they all had ay and water for the night. I got Moon's grain and took it too her with a bottle of rescue remidy which i put in her water then pulled out the lavender oil and put a little on my fingers and mesaged it into her nose and neck. I left her almost alseep to go find Bo and head to the house.

I went into Dorados stall with a halter and some lavender oil. i put the halter up to his nose letting him sniff it adn get use to it then ran it all over his body untill he did't prance around anymore. i again brought it to his head and after he looked claim with it slowly eased it on. He balked at first then relaxed and let me clip it. I talked to him all the while to keep him claim. after about 5 mints i took the halter off and gave him a horse cube as a treat i gave him a kiss and left to go to Laceys stall and work with her. I did the same ruten and cam out after about 15 mintes and went to put the halter and lavender oil away.

i trotted up on Ruby and said, "hi Mango!i got your call and i will ride Nite and Dawn."i jumped off Ruby and gave her a apple slice.i swiped a bunch of mane of her fore-head and over her eye. it looked beautiful. she shook her head though and it landed right back where it was."girl....."i sighed. i went down the aisle to Nite and said"hi there boy!im gonna ride ya today"i patted him then started grooming the big guy.i finished him off then went to the tack-room and got his tack.i finished off the throut-latch on his bridle and his girth.i didn't know much about dressage, but knew how to ride it.i took Nite to a old stump that was pretty high so it would be easier for me to leap aboard his big back.i managed to get up there and ckucked to him. we startd to the ring and started figure 8's.then i did piaffe. he looked magnifecent. we did a flying change into a canter and circled till E.then we started the special walk, and his long forelock fell down off his ose. i smiled then exneted to a trot, then cooled off. i untacked the big boy, then hosed him off.i put him in his stall and then headed to Dawn."hi DAwn,"i said. i groomed him thouroughly then tacked him up for dressage again.we went over the same thing exept for the flying change and piaffe, for MAngo had mentioned he hadn't learned that yet.so finished him off then cooled him down. i untacked Dawn and hosed him off then put him in his stall with a carrot."bye Mango!"i jumped upon Ruby then trotted home.

I leaned out of my office "Thanks much Kiki, See you tomorrow!" I walked out and brought all my mares in and grained them with Mare & Foal then turned all my stallions out for the night. I went back into Dorados stall and did the same as last night but left the Halter on for 10 mintes same with Lacey and Neddy. I called to Bo and we went up to the house.
