Rain, Rain, Go Away...


Couldn't have picked a wetter year to participate in the EMM.  We have no enclosed area to work other than the round pen, so progress has been put on hold for the past week or so.  We've had over 2 inches of rain.

Rooster has a small covered area and doesn't seem to mind the time off.

I'm a little bummed since I feel like we're falling behind and loosing a lot of valuable ground, but I have to remind myself there's still plenty of time left for training and the "bonding" time with Rooster will likely benefit in the end.  He gets brushed, has his feet cleaned, is saddled and bridled.  Other than that, I'm at a loss for what to do in these conditions.  Open to suggestions!!
