raining, again
Well I am enjoying a lazy day sense we can not go outside and work horses today. We were able to lunge Pat yesterday with a saddle on. He was a little wild but overall it went well. As far as my own rehab goes I made some positive steps yesterday. Meaning actual steps! I was able to do one lap around the kitchen walking without my walker. Today I have been trying to do a few laps every couple of hours. I hope to build my standing and walking time over the next week or so.

My first PT apt
Well I attended my first PT appointment today. Overall it went pretty well. Starting today I am able to try to walk with the help of the walker or a crutch. Ill be going twice a week moving forward so hopefully before long I will be back to almost normal. Even better news is that I can drive again. SO when the world opens again I'll be able to get around on my own. Which is a big relief.

Horse Profile: Bumblers Patriot "Pat"
Bumblers Patriot is a 15'2h 14year old Quarter Horse gelding. We have had Pat for a few years and he is a big part of our lesson program. Pat was bought by a client at the fall Heritage Farm Auction. After a few months it was discovered he wasn't the best fit and he ended up coming to live at Running Wolf Farm. Since then he has participated in a variety of shows and clinics ranging from Gymkhana to Dressage.
Recently he was diagnosed with PSSM and we are making the journey to get him as healthy and fit as possible.

Horse Profile : NR Korbell
NR Korbell is a 17 year old 16h Polish Arabian Gelding. Originally trained as a Dressage and Jumping prospect his has made his way from Arizona to Florida to Misouri to New Hampshire and finally now to Massachusetts.
Having been with us for a year this past fall Korbell was back in training to be a Dressage horse. That is until he refused to get on the trailer to go to his first show! Instead he has found his calling as a barrel and gymkhana horse. This is one Arabian who loves to run!

Horse Profile :Wolfs Pure Chaos
Wolfs Pure Chaos or PC, as we call him, is a 2004 Colorado Ranger Horse gelding. He is currently in training to be an Event Horse. But that training has been a slow process. For right now we are focusing on rhythm and quality of movement.
PC had most of the fall off, due to my hectic work schedule, but has been back in regular work since the first week in January. These photos are from last spring so we have made some progress since then. I hope to have him competing this summer.

New starts
Since this blog was supposed to be for reviews I'm changing things just slightly. Instead of reviews of places I'm going to use this as a platform for Equestrian equipment reviews. I'll also be posting training updates on My boys.
Check back soon for updates and reviews.

Doomsday Preppers
Last night my husband and I happened upon a show called Doomsday Preppers on nat Geo. Now if you have never seen this show its probably one of the craziest reality tv shows I've seen so far. Each episode follows 2 different groups of people who are prepping for some kind of end of the world scenario.
I'm not sure which is scarier, that there is a whole show devoted to people obsessed with the end of the world, or that there is a company that goes around and rates these people to tell them how long they think they can survive. (Practical Preppers). They even have their own app, if you check the nat geo website you can find it.
Now I'm all for being prepared. I get the canned goods and the self sufficient water supply. I'm even a huge fan of solar and wind power. Seriously though, I feel bad for all of those kids whose dads drill into them the world is going to end day after day. It makes you wonder what their therapy bill is going to cost when then turn 25 and finally move away from their parents. If it was me I'd probably go across country.
Anyways, The show is pretty interesting in a crazy way. It doesn't make me want to teach my 4 year old to shoot, but it was a decent way to pass some time this once.
