Should be doing a final....

Well like most bloggers I am writing this instead of doing my Advertising and Public Relations final.  I have almost 6pages done so I figured all the other parts can wait.  So instead of writing about an advertising plan that I just really do not care about at this point Im gunna write what I do care about....Ace! 

My day started at 6:29am with a text message from the BM saying that Ace has taken a step back and was very spooky and jumpy this morning.  I was a little upset and discouraged because he had been doing so well and I felt like it was a step back.  So i thought all day about what I was going to do and how I was going to do it. 

When I got to the farm I could see what the BM meant.  He was jumpy and very reactive.  So I thought, perfect I can do more desensitizing and that will help him calm down and use the thinking side of his brain.  So, I grabbed him from the pasture, sadly disrupting his nap, and off the arena we went.

I did a lot of tossing the rope on him which he was a tad bit reactive about at first but then relaxed back down.  Also did some lunging for respect and he a little bit lazy there.  Worked on backing up, sending by the far end of the arena, and sending while walking.  He did good and by the end he was back to being relaxed. 

I realized that not every day is going to be an up/positive day.  You have to have the bad days to really appreciate the good ones...right?  Lastly, today was his last day of ulcer treatment!!
