Turned out to be a nice day

It started out overcast, gray and windy..but turned into a nice, sunny 60º day. I decided to take Gunny on a little trail ride...which was a bad idea. She was fresh and something was in the air, so I didn't feel comfortable after we got out there. She got really hot and wouldn't relax. So I had to get off and walk her home. When we got back to the barn, I rode her in the indoor arena and got her to calm down. Did some extending of her jog...and stopping, backing. But mostly worked on rail work. She's listening to my legs *finally* and I was able to go around the arena without touching the reins once, 5 times in a row, both ways, walk and jog. I was very proud. She ended up being a good girl today. Checked her back for soreness, since she did get pretty sweaty today..and it didn't seem sore at all. I put some liniment on it just to be safe. Gave her more salt in her grain today, so she was a happy camper. Lovely day to ride, plain and simple. I feel so blessed.
