On the Trail Again

Walker was doing so well on Saturday,  I asked Wendy if she and Bingo could hit the trail again on Sunday, and the answer was "Yes!". So we hit the levy about 10 AM. It was overcast and warm with a nice breeze, making for a lovely day to ride. It worked out well because Wendy did not have a lot of time to ride, and I did not want Walker to get over worked, so we mostly walked and stopped to eat grass. Both Walker and Bingo gave us nice extended walks, as they both seemed very happy to be away from the arenas.

We knew they were enjoying themselves when we turned for home and they did not want to go back! It is an amazing feeling to know that your horse wants to hang out with you instead of heading back to the barn where all the other horses are.

The best news is that Walker should be good enough to ride in the dressage show on Sunday, so we are going to get another crack at our first show.

And, before I forget, here is a shout out to Sandy in Iraq. Here's to you, Sandy, spreading the can do optimism of America on the other side of the planet.
