Daniel and I ran out to the barn last night while Nancy was there. She didn't have a riding partner so she was just going to hand walk Cody down the road, which would be his first trip down the road this spring alone. So we went along for the walk. It was a good decision to not ride cuz wow was it windy! Cody got to try out his new boots and pastern wraps that Nancy got him. His old ones were still usable but getting to be on their last legs. They'll be good to have as spares or if we need any for his hind feet ever.
After the walk Daniel and I watched for a few minutes while Nancy rode in the arena. It's funny to watch versus ride. When I ride and ask for a canter Cody seems to get all strung out and excited and it's really hard to calm him down and get a nice trot after that. But on the ground watching, he looks so lazy and slow. Apparently my perception of "strung out" is not quite accurate. Heh guess I better spend some more time in the saddle.
