Another beautiful day for my last day of vacation. Had to hussle this morning. Stopped at PetSmart (must keep track of how many times I mention their name perhaps I can get credit for advertising) to get Wyatt a bigger collar. Decided on tan to match his markings. I must say he looks very dapper. Pictures to come soon. Walked out with a shirt for me, a toy for Tia and Wy for at the barn and some peanut butter treats.

Got to the barn about 12:30 and let Wy run with Tia. Set all my stuff out and then had to move it all as the Farrier showed up. Went to find PJ amongst all the other bays. Commented to Farrier how it is funny that the horse you want is never the one standing at the gate. This got a chuckle out of him. Called PJ, up came his head and he comes a running bringing the whole herd with him.

PJ and I rode inside due to time constraints. We did all our bending, small serpentines, leg yields in and out, large serpentines, shoulder-in and canter departs. Trying to sit while asking for the depart. Has messed up my timing a bit. Again, again and again and then again.

Puppy class was interesting. Wyatt has never been so tired. For down he would lay full out. Heeling wasn't quite as forward either. I guess I was tired too as I was to say Wyatt come and said Wyatt heel - he came anyways. We have one more time left. I need to decide what to do.
