As you can imagine life with a baby is a little different than life without one. Needless to say I don't get to the barn often and when I do I usually just let the horses in the arena to run around a bit. Axel is pretty much officially retired. I say pretty much because I figure Daniel will be able to ride him a bit eventually. But I think my days of riding are over. Nancy has still been riding Cody when she has an opportunity and that makes me feel so much better about slacking so much. I did make it out there on Saturday and I actually got on and rode, if you can believe that. Cody did so well. He was calm and not terribly concerned with being in the barn alone. He still can't pick up the left lead and he gets a little excited and offers the trot or canter but overall it was great to get back on.
