White Star Grooming #1

So tonight was my first grooming class for White Star. It was intense. First we had our lecture down at the far end and then we cleaned saddles. You clean all the leather parts with leather cleaner. My partner and I cleaned Flame's saddle. The cleaning stuff was really sticky. Then we got our horses. I got Cedar #41. I was so happy. It was raining pretty hard but the pasture actually wasn't too muddy, except in a couple sections. The worst section of course was right where Cedar was. For AA we have to do show grooming ( we will also be learning leg wraps next week). Cedar was not the best for show groom. It took awhile but we eventually accepted each other. The only problem was brushing the back legs. She did not like it. Then I saddled, brushed her mane and tail and barely finished in time. Then we learned how next week would work and got our study packets. Overall a good class. Now time to go to bed and be back in 9 hours or so.
