Today was the best day we've had all week. The sun was up and shining and it was only about 80 degrees--perfect! Last Sunday, Indy's head was so high, he hit the visor on my helmet once and I flossed a little with some of his mane hair a couple of times. Although we were jumping logs and running more on the trail last week, this week Indy was mellow and easy to ride. He did not throw his head or flip his reins at all. Yesterday, Indy had his shots and his teeth "floated." I think maybe his teeth have been bothering him and having the bit in his mouth was uncomfortable. Anyway, we had a great day.
Lynn and I went on a short ride that included a pond and trail that isn't marked--Lynn loves to trailblaze--so we made one to fit our ride. It ended in a short, steep path back onto the road and both horses went down it smoothly and easily. Red is learning lots of good trail habits and Indy, whose reputation has not been good, seems to have matured and is a pleasure (if slow sometimes) to ride.
The slides to the left show Lynn & Red in front of the pond where she heard two big splashes, but she failed to identify the source. The rest are of Indy.
