I had to lure them in, so no worries! I won't be catching them all out there! Reception at the barn itself is sketchy, but the trails go to a high ridge in the hills that does get reception and a strong enough GPS signal to hatch them!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-56803575293221959842016-07-15T13:50:06.320-04:002016-07-15T13:50:06.320-04:00Ugh, so not fair that you can play Pokemon while r...Ugh, so not fair that you can play Pokemon while riding. I don't have cell service at my barn and I really want to catch Pokemon at the barn and more importantly, ride around to hatch eggs.Olivia @ DIY Horse Ownershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138490796669110523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-11758169697059833072016-07-15T08:46:37.233-04:002016-07-15T08:46:37.233-04:00He is- that was a key hang up in bringing him home...He is- that was a key hang up in bringing him home. The shelter had him for about 2 weeks before he could come home because they needed to schedule it and then needed time to check on it after.<br /><br />I'll look into that food- however I might see if they have another fish-free variety. Penny is also a Manx and they have sensitive digestive systems and she's also allergic to some foods (I had to remove grains, chicken, and all fish products to get her lips to stop ulcering). She's doing well on Purina Muse Chicken and Pumpkin (which I originally got for Sophie because of a stinky poop problem, but Penny stopped eating her LID duck and green pea and gobbled up the Muse). Long story short, I try to stay away from grains and fish.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-17646969673671401992016-07-15T08:32:38.630-04:002016-07-15T08:32:38.630-04:00I only worry I'll drop my phone while riding! ...I only worry I'll drop my phone while riding! I need an old school wrist strap that goes through a hole in the phone, haha. Penn is definitely more surefooted than I am, so I say it's safer!<br /><br />Well apparently we're aiming to be Valegro. We're following his schedule and now going to be using his girth! I have to say the walking days are more exciting due to Pokemon!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-21236076689496699762016-07-15T07:19:37.334-04:002016-07-15T07:19:37.334-04:00Is Felix neutered yet?

I have him on 4Health grain-free whitefish & potato. It keeps him super shiny, keeps his weight down, and he/his feces no longer smell. Plus it's pretty inexpensive for a nice quality food. I wasn't impressed by their dog food though (gave my dogs dandruff).Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303236534507171227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-18983673130654115552016-07-15T02:56:18.610-04:002016-07-15T02:56:18.610-04:00Ahaha glad I'm not the only one who Pokemons w...Ahaha glad I'm not the only one who Pokemons whilst riding. I feel like there's less risk of injury as at least my horse is looking where he's going!!<br /><br />And, fun fact, valegro has the exact same schedule as Penn so you're obviously onto something good. He alternates between schooling and hacking out day by day apparently! <br /><br />Love the girth too! Nice purchase!Christle Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214204082407566805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-13495115813235625242016-07-14T14:18:42.970-04:002016-07-14T14:18:42.970-04:00I'm torn on the boots- I'm pretty sure I k...I'm torn on the boots- I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to say. That said, I am really happy with them (so far) for the purpose I bought them for!<br /><br />The half halts and leg get so intermixed. When he's curling, I add the inside leg first and then 'catch' him with a half halt or two. The working to collect to working definetly has the half halt first, but very strong alternating leg and a ton of seat support (which is why I did it from sit trot). I thought passage in my head and tried to make the body do it.<br /><br />I'd imagine that Penn is getting tired too, as he should since I'm forcing self carriage upon him for majority of the ride! I try to keep the sessions super short so they stay positive and fun.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-62538966131023465062016-07-14T13:48:14.880-04:002016-07-14T13:48:14.880-04:00I've been eyeballing those boots for awhile no...I've been eyeballing those boots for awhile now. Can't wait for the review.<br /><br />Stinker has started curling and hanging out behind the bit when he gets tired. When I put leg on and ask him to lift we get invert and shoot forward. Maybe I'll try the half halt then leg. Thanks for the idea.EventingSaddlebredStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610596082916022402noreply@blogger.com
