To ride dressage is to dance with your horse, equal partners in the delicate and sometimes difficult work of creating harmony and beauty.

Happy dance!

Rick checked Lance's eyes last night, and they are reacting to light! We celebrated by leaving the fly mask off last night; it was so nice to see Lance's beautiful eyes. We don't know if they are completely back to normal yet, so I'll continue to put the mask on during the day for now.

Lance is almost back to full hay rations again, too, and Rick said we'll probably be able to add back in his daily oats, vitamins and wormer tonight. Yesterday I took him out for some hand-grazing, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Today I took Oliver to Perrydale Trails to ride with my dressage chapter. Even though I would have MUCH preferred partnering with Lance, I still enjoyed being with friends on the back of a horse on a perfect fall day. Besides, it keeps my riding muscles tuned up! Photos tomorrow....
