Well, another day has gone by. I wasn't really having a good day due to the massive fire in Moorpark, CA - knocking at the door of the ranch where Trillo++ and Trillomar live. I was glued to the web today, listening to a local LA radio station and looking at what the LA Times was posting. Also, my friend Cheryl from Southern Cali was giving me some updates on road closures and where the fire was heading. Luckily for the ranch, the Santa Ana winds changed and moved the fire away from the ranch.

I called Justice today for the mid-week update. I was disappointed to hear that Psymin had not worked on the track since Saturday. He still does not have his shoes on either. The plan (as always subject to change) is to have one more session with tack and being ponied. Then, he is to have his rider up with the pony horse.  She also indicated to me that he seems depressed. That REALLY sank my heart. This weekend would have been my weekend to go visit him, but I am doing a 12 mile endurance race with Chantilly in Cold Spring. Well, the weather has been sketchy and I won't camp/ride in the rain. Sharri and I are going to play it by ear. Part of me wanted to jump in the car as soon as I hung up the phone. I had started to really miss my boy and today's call didn't help matters.

The goal is to race him at Lone Star Park on October 23rd. Unfortunately, I have a business trip to NY that may keep me away. That also upsets me, but step-dad Jarrod will be there and I know all of Psymin's friends from the Dallas area will be there to cheer him on. I also believe his friends from home may go too! He will have lots of love and support.

Of course I went through ALL my photos of him on my computer. I better not watch his birth video or I will break down.
