Smokey on Sunday

On Sunday it all came together. Smokey was brilliant. Best horse ever. Amazing.

I'm not sure what was in the hay, but I'm buying more of it.

:)

We started out in the arena and he was so responsive I decided "the heck with this, let's hit the trails." And we did. Alone.

I had fingertip control. We stayed in our comfort zone, given all that's going on I wasn't up for an adventure beyond riding alone.

I felt such a strong tie to him. I felt like I knew what to do every moment. It was a day I really really needed.


BTW: Mighty heart update on crib notes.

There's nothing better than a good day with your horse. I hope you enjoy more soon!

Those are the rides we live for.
Is it possible that you could put a link to Crib Notes on your sidebar? I'll keep Sierra in my prayers.

PS: I left you a little award on my blog :)

Those days are great when you're both in sync. Like us, they have their good days and bad days. I'm glad this was a good day for both of you.

Breathe--So glad your ride was awesome. Also, I can't find my way to "Crib Notes". Could you put a link up? I am thinking of Sierra and hope she's doing well.

Breathe, "Fingertip control" - I love it. Sounds like such a great ride. He is really coming along (even though he may have times like the windy day). Great post!!
