Smelling the flowers

Had a great ride today - managed to get the arena to ourselves for the whole ride (good timing more than great planning!).

Did some of the stuff we did in my lessons with Manuela this week and all went really well. I had to keep his neck straight no matter what and that stopped Garbo getting all distracted, spooky etc - and gave me confidence to stop those things too.

Heres a really cute picture, taken after his hose down.
