Misty morning

Today was a slow day, but it had a beautiful start.  When I left the house this morning there was mist covering most everything.  The call of the magpie was haunting from a tree in the yard where I couldn’t even hope to see it. Of course, with the mist, I was soaked by the time I got to work.  I was at camp Haqua again and we only had a camp ride in the morning, then an hour ride in the afternoon for a family.   I got to ride my lovely Snowy boy again.  I think he is pretty much assigned to me as my project.  He is getting better almost every day.  He did not want to stand still as I mounted, but he did.  He was a bit go-ie when I got on and a bit prancy and his back was humped, but he didn’t do anything.  I started out with him in the back and he settled pretty quickly.  I jumped him over a nice little log and he has a beautiful jump, not that I would expect any less from him.  Before we took some of the kids for a canter, I switched with Shaynee and I led the canter group for a couple of nice canters.  Snowy came back to me rather well after the canter.  Again he was a bit prancy, but nothing bad.  I think he will be ready for guests in no time at all. 

I love this yard
