Friday, July 22, 2011
Today was a fairly laid back day. I spent the day doing barn chores, hand walking Cookie, and watching a few early arrival horses in warm up. Cookie handled the haul out to Kentucky better than expected and I will be taking him out for a light hack early tomorrow morning. He has been adjusting very well to the intense Kentucky heat and the fans have been helping a lot in keeping him cool... and entertained. He spent most of the afternoon playing with the bars covering the fan, his stall door, the chairs, my ponytail... just about anything within his reach. It's good to see how much energy he has, especially coming off such a long haul. I'm expecting him to be a bit of a handful tomorrow when I take him out for his hack but his freshness will work to my advantage when I start putting him to work this week because he will need the extra energy with all of this heat! I'm off to the barn at 6 am tomorrow morning. Goodnight everyone!
