I think a bunch of that is dirt though LOL!! I didn't brush him very well before my ride yesterday because I was trying to beat the rain. He was a bit dirty. <br /><br />LOL!!!!! I wouldn't be bored, but I'm weird. ;) Everything you do with Mag right now is training progress because your relationship is so new, so yeah the ground work would actually count toward the challenge. You could do a weekly post about it though, instead of daily posts about hoof cleaning and walking. I enjoy reading those posts! Or you could do a fifty ride challenge when you start riding him or any other variation. :D<br /><br />I'm sorry you're feeling alone. I understand where you're coming from. I still feel that way too. I'm going to have to do my riding when hubby is at work for the most part because our schedules are so messed up now (we haven't had the same days off since I started the new job except for last weekend). Maybe since the days are getting longer we can ride when he gets off work if he's not too tired. Hang in there! I think you'll be able to meet up with some of the other people around there with Mag eventually. He's not going to be the same problem Mara was in a group I don't think. :D Don't give up hope yet! It's still early.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-67130159911325872942016-03-09T14:37:07.424-06:002016-03-09T14:37:07.424-06:00Awww thank you!

I enjoy talking to you too and I'll send you a message soon. I've been having a lot of trouble with Facebook lately. I think it's my slow internet. They are supposed to be doing something to make my internet faster within the next couple of months so hopefully that will make things easier. I'll be over to your blog as soon as possible to see how sweet Magic is doing. I bet he's getting so big! <br /><br />Oh and I get you on the exhausted part. I got more sleep than you did, but I'm still so tired. Being the kindhearted person I am I let the barn cat in last night because it was pouring rain and he woke me up all night! I think he's staying in the barn tonight hehe.

And his mane looks healthy and thick.<br /><br />I wish I could do that challenge but 1. I'm not riding yet 2. That's every 3rd day or more, and we still have snow on the ground, and it can snow in May here and 3. How bored would you all be if I just wrote "Cleaned hooves without getting kicked, woo!" and "Took another walk, horse snorted the entire time." YAWN <br /><br />I keep thinking back how you brought Chrome along slowly, pretty much on your own....cuz I'm feeling pretty alone right now.<br /><br />Good luck on the challenge, and since you started late, and you work so much, all you can do is what you can do.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-84020198695733056842016-03-09T00:18:39.825-06:002016-03-09T00:18:39.825-06:00YAY I am so.glad to see you back, your blog is one...YAY I am so.glad to see you back, your blog is one of my favourites and you and chrome have been a real inspiration for magic and I.

I don't want to add a bunch of pressure and make things worse, but I am very goal oriented and if I don't have some sort of goal I just seem to float along and do nothing.

It is frustrating when life keeps getting in the way. I didn't join the challenge because I didn't want "one more thing to do", but now I'm starting to think I do need the extra incentive to work toward better horsemanship. Linda is very encouraging and supportive.
