I felt sooo much better today. After sleeping most of yesterday and drinking about half a gallon of orange juice, I no longer feel like I've been run over by a car :) So I was determined to make the most of today's gorgeous weather. Jetta was munching on a pile of hay in her turnout, sans a blanket, that's how nice it was. I brought her in and we went over some jumps. I set two up at 2'3" two strides apart. Jetta did pretty good, but for the most part it was dependent on how I rode (duh) so when I sat up between the jumps and said "whoa", we were able to put in the two strides perfectly verses doing a flying leap or chipping in. Once we did well at the trot and canter both ways we cooled off by walking down the road. It was funny since all the garbage cans were out today and Jetta gave them a very hard look, but then it was no big deal. Overall, a great day! I love ♥ spring so much. Temperatures in the 60s to 70s, no flies yet, sunny but not too hot. Perfect.

Glad your feeling better. Nothing is worse then being sick when it is great riding weather.
