It was a beautiful day today, fairly warm & sunny, though the breeze was a bit chill at times. Bonni & I had conspired to have the day off (it was supposed to be vet day, but she had to cancel unexpectedly) and Diane was able to get it off, too, so I had a full day out in the barn.
Diane came out in the morning & helped me get my whiteboard hung up in the barn. We also pulled Morgana out to groom & I longed her a little (a very little -- her attention span is rather short & I don't want to make work a negative thing). We also groomed Annie after we put Morgana back out. By some miracle she has not rolled yet, so she's looking pretty clean for once.
Bonni came out later in the afternoon & we took Rocky & Merry into the back paddock for a ride. Sadly, I didn't think to get anyone to take pictures. Rocky was super good. Merry's never been ridden with anyone else before, but other than a couple small snitty moments, he was quite good as well. (During one snit-moment I asked Bonni how she liked having the well-behaved horse for a change. She liked it just fine.) Merry settled down fine and we ended quite relaxed.
No idea how long we rode. I didn't have my watch on & didn't think to check the clock in the barn as we went out. We just did a bit of walk-trot until I started getting thirsty and both boys were behaving nicely so we could end on a good note. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this weekend so we can try for a repeat performance (hopefully with fewer snits on Merry's part).
