Last night was one of the rare occasions where I got to ride with other people. Usually I either have a lesson or I ride at times when rarely other people are around. Yesterday we had Linda, JP, Amy riding with us while Megan was handwalking Savannah in the arena. Aside from the fun of socializing it is a good practice for the busy warm-up areas at the shows. Southview Farm truly has a great group of people, it is one of the rare places without 'dressage queens', bickering and back-stabbing. Some of Sandy's clients have been with her for 30 years, that is quite telling!
Saumur was a true trooper, he hadn't been worked in three days. I got on, and he was happy and relaxed. We kept our focus and even sneaked in a couple of clean changes. Poor guy, though, as a 'thank you', he got paste wormer afterwards (followed by treats).
