I should know by now ... 9 times out of 10, when I'm feeling a bit draggy about going to the barn, when I get there, it's good. By good I mean that whatever was making me feel cranky usually disappears. When you're in the moment with Dude or Bestie, life is pretty simple and straightforward.
Yesterday I had a lengthy meeting to go to that involved a two-hour drive, so I left the house at 7:30 am and got back at 4:30 pm. It was a good meeting, but being gone for that chunk of time on a Saturday left me feeling less than enthusiastic about going to the barn.
The horses are still confined to their stalls because the paddocks are really soupy. I brought each of them out to the indoor to have some stretching time. I romped with Dude off his lead, then handwalked him. Bestie strolled around as she's not much of a romper, then I handwalked her a couple of laps then grazed her outside on one of the few teeny tiny patches of grass available at this time of year.

| This always makes me laugh. Who's the handsome guy in the mirror? |

| Checking out the action down in the new arena. At one point Jubilee was in the other arena staring back at him, but I couldn't get them both in the frame. |
 |
| Bestie goes down much more daintily than Dude, and one prolonged roll is good. No multiples for her. |

| Hard to tell from the photo ... mud, mud and more mud. |
