Lovely ride today

Anastasia and I took Bijou and Tessa out for a ride today - the weather was mild and even though I have had a truly nasty cold I decided it was time to get out there again!  We took the camera and set the self timer - what a hoot LOL!
I have to say that I was very well pleased with Tessa!  She has been such a bundle of nerves since I have restarted her after having her foal, but as I blogged recently, I am spending some time with lunging and back to basics with her in the indoor arena and it is paying off very well.  Today she was calm and quiet and we had a really great time.  I let her have a few snacks along the way - here she is with some:
 But it turned out to be a bit too much for her so I took some out

See it in my hand? LOL.
Did you notice the bright red hoodie I am wearing?  Yep it is my RAC stuff that arrived last week!
I look like I am dressed for Christmas with all the red and green LOL.
Not much else to report, but we did have a really nice ride, the footing was good and the snow is melting - bring on the spring!
Here are the girls enjoying a snack after our "big" ride!

  5. i can't believe you are out riding in a hoodie either! It was pretty close to that here yesterday but still too damp! We have WAY more snow in Ontario! Looks like you had a great ride! I hope you get rid of your cold fast - always a hard thing to do around melting time
