Today the sun came out and the ice started thawing. Water dripping, leaves dropping, ice shattering, branches shuddering; with all that commotion along with two days off, you can believe Lance got turned out before our ride! Leading him to the arena was definitely like walking on broken glass (top photo), and he was understandably nervous. But he didn't want to buck and play much, coming back to me quickly and insistently, so I tacked him up and got on. Lance was so good under saddle, no more than flinching when ice clattered onto metal, or a branch was suddenly released from its weight. What a boy!

What a good boy and that would be an EXCELLENT song for a routine!
What a good boy! Glad you got a ride in. With the weather, and my schedule limited by how much time it takes me to get to work, I can only wish to ride Tang. We'll get there...
Sounds wonderful.
