Sunday update

Kickin n Screamin has come out of her race in good shape. She did lose a little weight but that is normal, especially for her. We have ponied her (jogged without a rider) a few times just to get her out of the barn to get some exercise. I am tentatively planned to run her back on the 12th but there is a chance that we will give her a bit more time also. We have to see how she responds the next few weeks in training and getting that weight back. Her best races seem to be when she has had time between starts and we do have to keep that in mind.

Aldebutante is doing well after her foot issue. She is back into a regular training routine and will most likely work next weekend, probably going 3 furlongs. She has really grown tall the last 6 weeks and is still developing physically, probably quicker in that respect than mentally. Actually she is well behaved outside the stall and on the track but inside the stall she is a another story. We have placed a chi machine inside her stall in an attempt to get her to relax a bit. It is a machine that emits sound and pulse waves to get the body's electromagnetic fields in order.

"The Chi Machine will aid in unblocking the Chi pathways and ensure a maximum flow of this healing source through all body organs, to restore normal or improved functioning to impaired organs and body systems related to such organs. The Chi Machine allows the Chi energy to flow naturally thereby creating spiritual, physical, mental and emotional strength, health, fitness and wellness.
Some people perceive the presence of Chi more easily than others, but the ability to perceive it is inherent in all of us. Once the Chi Machine stops, almost everyone feels a rush of Chi flow through their body."

I don't know if any of this actually happens but it does seem to keep her calmer in her stall. We have also added a few pints of Guinness to her feed in a more traditional attempt to take the edge off.

Rampillion is also doing well after a few minor issues, mostly of her own doing. She may also work next weekend, though probably at a quarter mile. She has also grown noticeably, though not quite as much as Aldebutante.

Sumwonlovesyou continues to do well while turned out. I am planning on bringing her to my farm when we have proper fencing and start her on a rehab program of hyperbaric oxygen treatments and shock wave therapy and start training her on the aquatred. Hopefully she is able to come back to full racetrack training by the summer. For a link to the farm click on http://www.bluegrassec.com/ .
