Well, Chelsea's on vacation with her parents in the Southwest, so I'm here on the farm with Kathleen for nearly 2 weeks by ourselves, holding down the fort and riding all the horses. It'll be a nice vacation for me, where the majority of my days will be unoccupied. That is, unoccupied with horse stuff. I can finally catch up on sleep, read this series that has taken me a year to try to catch up on (the 11th book just came out and I'm hopelessly lost, hence me rereading all 10 books). But mostly I should be doing real work, like studying for my two pony club ratings. I really do need to study for my H-A. Does anyone know how the calcium-phosphorus ratio of a horse's diet is effected by the aging process and what results an imbalance would produce? The names and doses of the common tranquilizers on the market? From what viewing angle is "post-hocked" best seen and what are the common results in terms of blemishes and unsoundnesses and what steps, including booting during riding, should be done about this?
Oh, and I have 3 shows to design, which I have been happily ignoring. I fear that I can no longer happily ignore my H-A, though, since my testing is in 1 month, exactly.
Life is good, off to study.
