Validation is a wonderful thing

So I have been off on a business trip for two days and just feeling so excited about the ride I had on Blu this past Sunday. The plan was for Linda to ride during my absence. On my way home today I just could not take it one more moment and I called Linda to check in and see what she thought about her rides. She agreed that Blu was the best she had ever felt. He was up through his back and happy in his work. She broke out the double bridle and he accepted it with little issue. She then did some fly lead changes and she said they were down right perfect... no hopping into the change croup high! She said that my assessment was spot-on and she was thrilled with the changes she felt. Oh my, does life get better?
