A week without riding is bad for the soul

I have spent the past work week sitting facing a computer from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm that is until tonight. While those crazy webinars and meetings pay the bills, it was good to feel the cold air on my face and pick the hoofs of my pal Blu. He got a good currying... the white fur was flying leaving clumps on the floor and sticking to my black pants. I looked like I had grown a hair coat! Blu felt indulged as I scratched all the right spots.

We had a short outing this evening. Transitions.... were the name of the game and warming up his limbs so we can be ready for some heavy work tomorrow. Canter/ walk/ trot/ canter... a very good transition sequence for him. Shoulder-in is my friend. I must think half-halt from the elbow to make it more effective and not take so much on the inside rein going to the left.

Every ride is truly a lesson and an adventure. I just love his happy demeanor. He is a big love.
