Riding in the moonlight


It was an early morning ride for me today! The skys were still clearish and there was a super bright almost settingg, nearly full moon! We worked on Dressage in the indoor about 30 mins and had some really nice round  soft moments at the trot and canter and some decent transitions from walk to trot where he was both prompt and soft in contact. Progress! 
I was drawn to be outside, even in the chilly wee morning o dark thirty hours so I ditched the saddle and swung up bareback to go for a hack up the road behind the arena. The moon was so bright there were shadows! Deuce seemed to resonate with the calm quiet morning and very happily and relaxingly strolled down the road. As I felt Deuce move under me and his warmth against me, I experienced a strong feeling of peace, oneness and connection with Deuce and the world. What a way to start the day!! I am so thankful and blessed.
