After Racing: Retraining Thoroughbreds

Today is a clinic with Linda Heiny and I sure wish I were riding in it. Unfortunately, I've contracted a nasty respiratory cold. Dave had it. Now I have it. And while I don't have flu-like symptoms (more like sinus infection type symptoms), I'm going to stay away from the barn for today to keep the dust out of my lungs. I figure everything I can do to speed along the recovery (and not pass along my germs) is a good thing.

I may stop by the barn later this afternoon and just peek on in the ponies and make sure everyone is doing fine. They've no doubt been enjoying the past few days off.
