So Monday was a wet one! Horses haven't worn blankets in months and Woodburn is now in three! The water bucket heaters came out from the cobwebs, and horses got hot baths. It reminds me of England, and I prefer it to 100-degree weather. 

Woodburn is starting to settle into his work. Phillip had a lesson with Oded yesterday and then took him on a hack down to the arenas. At these world competitions all countries from different disciplines are fighting for various arena times, so it can be very difficult for riders to work their horses when it is ideal for them.
