Well, I've just had an excellent bit of luck! I had planned on entering an essay contest last fall, but I ran out of time to complete my essay since I was writing two term papers for classes at the same time. Yesterday, I get an email from the school saying that the deadline has been extended to January 15th! Kind of odd, the original deadline was in November, and I hadn't heard a lick about it since the deadline passed. Anyway, I'm starting to get a little bored with no schoolwork to do (and the weather too nasty to do much with the horses), and I could definitely use the chance at the prize money.
Scout had his shoes pulled and hooves trimmed yesterday, and he was remarkably good, considering that he's riding high on weather/footing induced stall rest. I expected him to be swinging from the light fixtures, honestly. He stood like a gem, with minimal fuss over stretching his hind legs out. Something else I can polish on while I'm home. Stretching all of his legs might do him good, anyway, as much as he's stuck standing around right now.
Hope the new year is off to a good start for everyone!
