Adjustment Period

Well a lot has happened since the last post in the life and times of me and Super Nova.

1.  We won our division at Rivendale.  I actually wasn't too happy with our performance to be honest.  I'm not upset about it at all- just know we could have done better. We had a wrong lead in dressage and a rail down in stadium.  We still won, but I just didn't feel like we earned it properly. Nova was a star though and was SUPER chill all day like a show veteran. It definitely makes showing more fun when your horse is really laid back about it.

2.  We had the vet out to check his hocks.  I am happy to report, that wasn't the problem!  Dr. Whaley, supervet extraordinaire recommended we try out some chiropractic to straighten Noviepants back out.

3.  Chiro came today so we'll see how it worked out!  Had a lot of adjustments in his back and neck. He should be feeling like a new man.

4. I am super excited to announce that I am moving Nova to a new barn Dec. 1. We are moving to Thalia Farm which is 2.1 miles from my house.  I am so excited to be a part of this great team of people.  Becca and Robyn are both so great and I already feel like a part of the group.  The farm is in the process of getting upgraded and I've been helping some which is fun!  I'm mostly excited because now I have no excuse not to ride more.  The barn I'm at currently is pretty far and sometimes I have used that as an excuse not to ride.

So that's it for now!  I'll be sure to take some pics of Nova's new digs soon.
