I'm sorry about your mother.
I'm going to go ride here in just a bit. It seems along time since I have too, so I'm wondering how Harley will be:). I've been reading on the horse forum all the articales people are posting about how thier horses are acting up because of the cool temps and haven't been rode in awhile:)....makes you wonder about your own.

Maybe play some games with them first :~)
Bay's just so beyond broke I never worry about him acting up. He might be fresh, but never unruly. I'd trailer him somewhere and get on him today and go. I've always made sure Cyn was lunged a few days and ridden here at home at least once after a winter off, but she's never been any trouble either. That's good!
Hey - forgot to mention, I think, that Tiff got on Tell, the black horse last weekend. Took him to a stable and rode him in the arena there. She said he was a lot to handle and a little jumpy, but she handled him fine. She said when she was done she tied him in a corner while she worked the others and he was good for that.
