Sunday

Reining show at the barn all day.   I hope they have enough volunteers, there are about a zillion wanna-be reiners boarding there.  Only a half dozen actually work at it, take lessons and compete etc.  I think the others should show up and support the show, I hope they do.  I plan to go out sometime and watch and see if there is anything that needs to be done but I am just not motivated to show up at the crack of dawn. 
Nina is doing well, getting over her sore muscles and stronger everyday.  She has developed a new weird habit.  When I get on and tell her to walk off she grabs the bit, pins her ears, shakes her head all over the place, stomps her feet while we start moving.  If I just throw the reins at her and wait a minute she is fine and we are moving along.  If I don't wait for this little ritual to be over, she gets stuck.  I think it is some sort of protest, maybe over having so much time off and now going back to work AGAIN.  Who knows, but she had done it nearly every day this week.  I think she forgot once.  She is never boring.
