Clip #2: Ehhh Screw ItAls

I had headed out to ride on Friday night after CrossFit, but then I found out our arena looks like this right now:

Don't get me wrong I am NOT complaining!  They're excavating the shifty sand footing to the base, leveling and compacting the base to get rid of some low spots, and mixing the sand with a footing additive to make it more stable. 

I am DELIGHTED that they're fixing it, but with it being dark out, it did mean no riding.  So:

As usual, one month after clipping him the first time, lessons were leaving him like this:

Also lessons are leaving him very tired.  It's tough to carry your own head.

So it was time.  My second clip of the year is always lower quality than the first.  For the first, he's always bathed and I use newly sharpened blades.  For the second, I'm like, "Ehhhh....it grows back fast.  Let's just get this hair off."









Poor guy.

Anyway, it's done.  And he grew this much hair in a month:

I've seen his full winter coat before, I know how thick it gets, but it still amazes me just how much hair this pony produces:

Glad that's over with!
