TODAY I WANTED SO BADLY TO GO ON A TRAIL RIDE DESPITE THIS BITTERLY COLD WEATHER, SO BY THE TIME THAT I GOT HOME FROM WORK THE WIND SUBSIDED AND THE SUN WAS STILL OUT, SO OUT TO THE BARN I TREKKED AND SADDLED UP MJ WHO SEEMED A LITTLE ANXIOUS HERSELF. I FREE LUNGED HER A FEW TIMES AROUND AND WALKED HER OUTSIDE TO MOUNT UP AND OFF WE WENT. TO THE BACK 40 THROUGH THE BACK 40 TO THE NEIGHBORS 40 AND THROUGH THAT 40. SHE DID AWESOME. AT FIRST SHE DID A LOT OF TROTTING BUT SOON SETTLED IN TO A WORKING WALK AND TRUDGED THROUGH SOME PRETTY BIG SNOW BANKS AND BACK TO THE BARN WE WENT WE EVEN WERE ABLE TO DO A PROPER DISMOUNT. YEAH!!!!
