While on our ride with Sky today we let some riders pass us up on the trotting trail. They were headed to the canal trail and were moving at a fast trot. Zoe was in the lead and was excited after they passed. A little too excited. We continued on and turned a different way but she was still excited. When we got to a big road we did some stop and starts, backs, sidepasses, worked some puddles and her brains finally got back in her head. Guess I could have done those things a bit earlier and she would have calmed down sooner. But I'm happy that she did calm down and we could move out at a trot and not worry about breaking into a lope to "catch up" with horses that you can't see anymore.
It was sure nice to get out between all the rain we have been getting.
