BURRRR
A cold front came through overnight dropping the temperature nearly 40F degrees.
Gary and Cindy waited until it got up to 50F degrees around noon to head over to visit LBR.
LBR was standing on the south side of his shelter but in the sun (using it as a windblock). Gary brought him up from his paddock for grooming and tacking up.
There were lessons today, so Cindy mounted in the sand arena and walked a lap around before riding LBR to the grass arena.
LBR was so good today. Much to Cindy's surprise, he was a bit lazy, but she was pleased with how quiet he was. They did walk/trot/canter and ground poles. Gary rode after Cindy and LBR was responsive but still a bit lazy.
Gary finished his ride with some work on flexing.
After the ride and grooming, Cindy and Gary took LBR back to his paddock.

Woo Hoo...it's the weekend and warm. Gary & Cindy headed over to visit LBR around 11:00 a.m.
Gary brought LBR up from his paddock while Cindy staged the tack. LBR was very mellow.
Cindy mounted him in the sand arena and started their workout. Unfortunately, the arena became crowded with some unruly horses and riders. Cindy decided to head to the grass arena.
They had a FABULOUS ride. It got so warm (80F degrees) that they both broke a sweat. This is a picture of them cantering:
Gary rode LBR for a bit in the grass arena before taking him for a brief trail ride to cool down.
After the ride, Gary rinsed LBR and then everyone headed down towards LBR's paddock for some grazing and more pictures:

Today was quite warm so Gary headed over to ride LBR in the morning. They had a great ride in the sand arena but skipped the trail ride as Gary was golfing in the afternoon.

Gary headed over again during the day and rode LBR in the sand arena and on a trail ride.
Oh to be semi-retired - only 15 more years of work for Cindy.

Gary visited LBR during the afternoon again today. They lunged, did flat and course work and then took a nice trail ride.

As the days at work are getting longer for Cindy and the night time temperatures are getting colder, Gary headed over to work with LBR during the day.
They lunged over jumps, rode in the sand arena (including cantering...woo hoo) and then ended with a trail ride.

Today LBR got a break from Gary & Cindy - time to rest after a long day at the show yesterday.
