Gone too long

I have enjoyed a long tropical vacation and now it is time to get back in the saddle. I always dread that first ride after not being in the saddle for a period of time. It is all a state of my mind and has nothing to do with this wonderful horse. He has been maintained with professional rides during my absence so he will be all tuned up. How lucky am I?

I chose my 2nd level tests - 1 and 3 and have started to memorize. I chose these because they start off tracking to the left and that is our best direction. Is that a good reason? It felt good to me. Let's hope we can execute!
