Back in the saddle!

Today we went out on the road, with M&S, and I rode for the first time since The Accident. We just walked, since there is snow everywhere, the footing is poor, my side is weak and twinge-y, and any number of other reasons. Angel was as calm as a fish. Even walking in the deeper snow by the roadside, which I think of as usually getting her pumped, she just forged along like an all-terrain horse. It was wonderful to be back up, I have visions of hunter paces and wonderful things. Of course, I must admit that it is easy for her to be calm with Skip the little Quarter Horse alongside.
