When I went to the farm this morning all the horses were turned out, I think still from last night. I couldn't get to Bouffe, because there were other horses turned out with him and my balance isn't good enough to lead Bouffe and keep the others from getting out of the gate. Also, Bouffe didn't have his turnout blanket on and I am paying a blanketing fee. I was not happy.
Leslie was not there and I couldn't wait around for someone to tell me what was going on; so, I left. This experience just added to the questions I had about Bouffe's care after seeing on Wednesday that someone else had ridden him and didn't even bother to bathe him or at least rub out the sweat marks from the English saddle and girth. I agreed to have Monica lunge and ride him a little, but to have gotten him as hot, as the dried sweat on his body showed, who ever was on him road him hard .
I am leaving for New York for a few days and this was an important training day that went up on smoke.
