A very good day and a very bad day

Yesterday we got over 4 inches of very badly needed rain. That was VERY good. All the horses had a ball running around enjoying the rain and cooler temps- including Samson. Unfortunately- during all the wind- the gate separating pastures came open and Samson escaped into the company of the mares- not a good thing. After sorting things out and settling for awhile- we had an evening session. Well- this was the worst session since the beginning!!!. He was extremely "fiesty" and did not want to cooperate at all. No matter how many circles we turned in order to get some cooperation- it didn't matter-he simply wasn't going to ride. VERY bad. In order to be able to quit him on a good note- we had to do ground work. We did our in hand obstacle course fairly well, tied for some time, and called it a day. We will see what happens today. Monday those teeth get checked which is a good thing.
