But I can't complain, lots of rain means maybe the hay fields will be better this year.
So anyways, this is my last month at the barn I've been boarding at since February. I knew this wasn't going to be permanent, it was just until I had Apollo paid off, but I'm going to miss going back and seeing all the horses and going along the now familiar trails. But I know I must move closer to home, though I know after April it won't be the last time I see them.
Now this week I've been working on my fear of falling into large puddles, yes I say my fear because Apollo can go through the water, but he hesitates because he senses I'm worried about the water; so he worries. Let's just say I've quickly learned how to steer with just my legs and little with my reins. I'm thinking, though, since we're still having disagreements, that next time I'll hop off and walk through the large puddles as I lead him to show him that it's all okay to go through them.
I've decided recently to take a picture of Apollo each week to show how he's changing colour as he transitions from winter to summer coat. So I will post a picture of his winter coat:
And now a picture of last week:
As you can see his becoming pink :D.
He is also making a funny face in the last pic due to the hay in his mouth O.o
I'll probably post again this week since I still need to get this weeks picture update :P I'll keep you all posted as best as I can.
~LEB~
