Exhausting day

Poor Mr. Tristan. I'm now officially in charge of himself for the next 6 or 7 weeks. His trainer Sarah requires some surgery and will have to stay resting and away from horses for at least 6 weeks. So I went to Crystal Creek today and worked Tristan with Sarah's advice and observations before her surgery later in the week. She mentioned that I needed to challenge him some so that he doesn't get too bored. I didn't tell her but I thought Tristan was being challenged just having me lunge him. ;-D

Lunging isn't my thing so to speak I am very weak on having the horse go left because I can't see what the horse is doing. There are few things that I've had trouble with after losing my eye and lunging horses to the left is one of them. (I also tend not to want to stay in one place while lunging but that's a different story altogether).

So I think Tristan may have worked me harder than I worked him today but we got it done. I'm exhausted and am hoping that I'm not too sore tomorrow. It is going to be a very interesting couple of months.
