Sumwon visit Wed. June 6th

[Riot]

Feeling the need to smell like manure and touch a real horse, I went over to Churchill this morning to see our girl.

She looks great - happy, feeling well. Cherie said yes, she was tired a bit after her last effort (as Chuck posted) but she hasn't lost a bit of weight - looks like she came out of it great. Nice and shiney, happy and interactive.

Nothing special on the agenda today: Cherie took her out onto the track about 9:30am, stood her butt to the rail for about five minutes watching (Sumwon wants to get going), then jogged her down into the chute.

Cherie spent 10-15 minutes warming her up down there, jogging some circles each way, getting her to listen and relax.

Brought her back onto the track out of the chute, let her break into a canter. Sumwon wanted to go (she cranks her neck sideways), Cherie let her ease up into a nice gallop, Sumwon settled in nicely and went on with it at a good lick, and Cherie took her all the way around from the backside about 4-5 paths out.

I think she galloped about a mile and two or three-eights, maybe (Chuck can comment). A breezing horse passed her about the eight pole inside, she wanted to go, but listened to Cherie.

She loves it

Came back, walked out, got her bath, looks very content, happy, playful. I think the only thing in her appointment book today is maybe getting her shoes reset today or tomorrow.

Chuck said maybe a work next week.

Sumwon says "Hi" to all her owners
