What the heck?!?!

So, what the heck is going on?  No riding that's what's going on.  I had a minor medical thing done on Thursday morning which I though was going to put me out for the weekend.  No big deal as I had to spend the weekend in GA doing my Navy thing.  Well, doctor says "No riding for a week" - what?!?!  That wasn't part of the plan.  Such is life lately.

Now, I was all set to hop on Charlie tomorrow but his freaking shoes are loose!  What the heck?!?!  The farrier isn't supposed to come until next Tuesday.  I think I mentioned this but just in case I didn't - he comes up from Aiken so I have to hope, pray, make offerings to whatever gods that Charlie doesn't pull a shoe mid-shoeing.  Not an ideal situation but the guy is very good although we may be having a conversation about putting the nails a little higher in hopes that Charlie's shoes stay tighter, longer.

Now I leave you with some photos...

 

I forgot to include this in my last post - Charlie playing racehorse before loading up for our lesson with Janna.

 

This was from this morning - Charlie's looking a little soggy while eating breakfast.

Oh, I almost forgot!  So now I'm going to have to buy 10 rolls of gorilla tape to try and keep his shoes on until next Tues.  And then on Wed, I leave to spend 3 days in Denver.  I think Charlie will be up to almost 5 weeks vacation.  I'm going to be lucky if he doesn't go native on me...sigh...
