Days like these

It was almost 55 degrees this afternoon, with plenty of sunshine and no wind at all.  I showed up this afternoon to find Soonie happy and naked out in the field with his buds, soaking in the sun and munching on his roundbale.  :)

We went for a nice hack down the road to take advantage of the nice weather (we can dressage inside when it's yucky!), and we had a lovely ride.  Soon was totally quiet after five days off (his itty bitty scrape lost its scab and bled again earlier in the week, so I gave him some extra time), had some awesome stretchy trot, nice forward swinging walk, and overall was happy to go along on the buckle.  Happy guy!  :)
