A beautiful day to be outside

Today we made the transition from working in the indoor to doing our entire work out outside. Despite many intrusions -- trailers being hooked up and moved, horses being bathed and brought in from their paddocks, apple trees being watered and trucks/ Harleys driving up and down the road, Blu tended to business.

While I had to dig a bit deeper to get him to move forward his work was steady and sound. His canter felt improved in both directions.

He earned a warm liniment bath, a handful of carrots and a good scratch. He will have tomorrow off and then a lesson on Monday with Linda. I look forward to hearing her thoughts on how to bring him back. Tomorrow both Blu and I will rest.
