Rain and mud, and being thwarted.

It was raining today, so my plan to ride was thwarted. I did go and pet horses, but even our clicker training idea was out the window with all the mud.

How in the world do you avoid having so much mud? It's just awful!

One nice moment, I can now get Cibolo to come to me out of the herd, and as low man it's a bit of an accomplishment. Now he trusts me to run the other boys off. I gave him a carrot and a good rub. Then everybody got a carrot for being cooperative.

Then it was off to the hardware store for dog jump supplies. Sierra is taking agility classes with her dog. So far it's a bit basic for her. Hopefully it'll get better.

But we're building jumps, and, as usual, I can't quite find the right part. If I get this jump built, well, if it stands up, I'll take a picture...

I hope you got a good ride in today. Here's to Spring - it's here in the hill country...

Spring might bring rain but it also brings summer! I noticed that you have some spam on your post below; I had the exact same spam comment on one of my blogs, I was quick to deleete it. I hate spam!

Rain and mud are making me cranky. Bring on the heat! I'll take the heat over this anyday..... At least we'll get a first cutting!

Here's to nice dry days soon. I know how bad you want to ride because I do too.

It's a gorgeous day, but after 2 days of rain, we're talking serious mud.
