Trailin'

Oh sweet sweet Tuesday. Gwen called at 5. Greg came home from work at 5:22. Me and my boots walked out the door at 5:35. Gwen and Carrie were all saddled and ready to roll when I arrived. I got Gwin ready while they helped a guy take some "fertilizer" for his garden. Then we headed off across the street.

It was beautiful. Warm with a breeze. Gwin was SO good. She did everything I asked her to. I felt like we were really starting to ride as partners.

We stayed behind the girls most of the way. I worked on training Gwin that when Monty eats grass that doesn't mean she eats grass too. And when Angel's mom asks her to trot, that doesn't mean Gwin trots too. :)

She was ready to trot and lope and race at every turn. She always feels like that when she's confident (because her friends are with us). Gwen and Carrie were up for it, so we did way more trotting than ever. It was great.

Such a perfect ride. I forgot EVERYTHING. Even the things I thought I might sort out from up there. The best part is, I can't remember one of them since I've come down. That's part of the beauty of it. So freeing and healing.

Love my girl!
