I could use a little white healing light at the moment if you've any to spare...

1. Ah...where I went wrong. The answer came while I was showering.

There are 2 types of arabs: hi energy and low energy. Dahli is a "hi energy" arab. Since we started our serious under saddle training, since before actually, I've made a point every week to 10 days of giving her a good gallop to burn off the excess. It's been on the longe, over small jumps once she started jumping, or just having a good run. I've been longing to eventually get her to a trail where we can have a good, exhilarating run. Constant ring work builds frustration in high energy horses.

I just realize that between the weather and my work schedule for the past 3 weeks....I have been remiss. She didn't get that excess energy burned off. That's why she was fussy yesterday too. She was just getting too wound up.

I need to keep a calendar. Can't afford a mistake like that again...
