Fooooorrre!

It was a bright sunny day so I decided to take Deuce out for a little trail ride down the road, up the hill and to the big field.So off we went. Deuce was pretty happy to be out, too. As soon as we left the Christmas Tree farm and headed up the hill, he was on high alert. When we got to the road crossing to the hay field, he locked on the activity at the golf course.  He found the clinking and flying and plunking of the occasional golf ball to be disconcerting.
I insisted on him keeping his feet moving, but not racing forward so we ended up doing some low grade nearly passage movements. I am sure if the golfers noticed, they'd wonder what this one horse parade was doing prancing up and down the road.

When we go back to the Christmas tree farm, Deuce finally managed to get back into a normal walk and we went back up to the arena for some quite flat work. Good ride we had. Our bending and roundness in the bridle is improving.
