Tonight we went riding and it was so humid and hot that my glasses kept
fogging up.  The lens cleaner with the anti-fogging stuff is in the
Plymouth and it went back to the mechanic.  I sure needed that stuff
tonight.

It sounds like it.  We've owned 2 mares and we can tell when they are
heat by the way they act but neither of them have turned into witches
but there is another mare in the barn that really gets evil when she is
in heat.  Is this training, or the lack of it, or are some mares just
this way and there is nothing you can do about it?

Do you wear a back brace when riding?
I think I'm going to leave Smokey at his present weight.  He's had more
energy than ever before.  Tonight we started working on a slow Western
jog.  Its funny because he can't believe thats what I really want.  I've
spent ages working on getting him to go forward and that what he keeps
giving me at a working trot speed.  Now I want forward at a Western jog
speed.  I, also, want canter with him bending through the curves instead
of dropping his shoulder and sticking his nose to the outside.  I use to
get it before I hurt my wrist but I haven't really worked on it since.
Well I'm going to have fun during the next couple of weeks if the
weather doesn't get to hot again.
