Slow ride

I've been sick for the past week (flu bug) and am still feeling bone-weary most days. Decided I needed some horse-hugs on Sunday though.

Zoe must have sensed my low energy. She was (surprisingly) cooperative and sweet while I groomed her and again when I lunged her. And when I finally started riding, she calmly walked, never spooking.

As I finished up, I asked E if she wanted to take a quick ride since Zoe was all saddled up and ready to go. What's funny, though, is that once E and Zoe went out into the arena, my calm little pony was seen no more. I guess she figured E wasn't sick and didn't need the coddling that I had required. :)
