The sun is out again. The sunshine never seems to last very long but it is certainly getting warmer again! I love it. So, for the first time since before Christmas, I hacked Roode on the roads for 30 minutes. With everything melting, the river has risen and is rapid. There is a small bridge to cross and I think I was more daunted by crossing than Roode was. He was brave but I was a baby. But my eyes were also about 4 feet higher than his and by my perspective the railing was easy to go over whereas he was snorting with his head low to the ground. I am so glad that he was good.
Two of the horses had to be moved to another farm nearby because we have no room with Diederik’s horses that came in from Holland. Caitlin from Australia asked if I could drive her in Herr Schmidt’s car because she is not confident with a manual or driving on the other side of the road and the car. While she rode the other two horses, I finished errands in Paderborn. : ) I like Herr Schmidt’s car.
Roode was super today. Every day is routinely the same but now we are getting through the movements faster because they have been good the first time around and now we have moved onto canter double half pass.
