Enough complaining about bad weather, we are finally having some good!
I went to ride Otoelene the other day and she was taking a nap soaking up the sun. I had to wait a while for her to wake up. I hate having my nap interrupted so I thought I would respect her nap taking.It's hard to tell but the horses are actually starting to shed now. I hope this means that the good weather is here to stay. I just rode Otoelene in the barn since it had been a while since I rode her last. She did fine, getting a little quicker picking up the canter and dropping her head well at the trot.
It was such a nice day that I caught Hank and rode him too. I took a tour around the farm with him. He reminded me what a big and powerful horse he is. He really wanted to get out and stretch his legs. I let him do a little running but the ground was still wet and slick and I didn't want an injury at the start of the season. (no injury with the horses anyway, but I'm a little saddle sore)
We must be sisters under the skin, I would have let her finish her nap, too!
