Going for a Ride

I feel like I've been run over by a steam roller this week and have a terrible time getting my motivation in line with my to-do list. I'm back down to just working 5 days a week, which is lovely, but I'm quite far behind on the rest of my life and have out of town family visiting. 

Sigh. 

I took a look at the list for today, and decided the best way to get through it was just to start out with a ride on Cuna. 

Love. This. 
Somehow, the view between his ears just makes everything better, every time. We started out by 
galloping up my favorite hill after a quick warmup. Then we hacked to the arena and popped over a cross rail a few times. I wanted to make sure I could ride him to the base of the fence, keep my hands in his mane, and ride smoothly over. It took a couple tries, but when we were in sync, I called it a day. 

It's amazing how something as simple as a 30 minute ride can completely clear my head. I feel so much more relaxed and focused. 

AND OMG XC SCHOOLING MONDAY!!!!
