Therapeutic riding

Even though it was a damp and dreary, frigid and foggy day and I feel like I'm fighting off some sort of bug, I dutifully ventured out to work with Lance this afternoon. He was much calmer than yesterday (except for his ever-busy mouth) and I enjoyed our ride. I even got to see some of it, because Brian was willing to shoot some video with my camera; yay!

What I learned is that Lance looks much better than he feels, although it's still obvious he is green. Usually I have the opposite reaction when I see videos of myself riding – it felt better than it looks.

Another plus is that Lance always has "lipstick" at the end of our rides, a good indication of a relaxed jaw.

I'm so glad Lance demands regular exercise; after riding I felt better than I had all day!
