It's Monday; I think we could all start the week off with a warm fuzzy.
Yesterday, I galloped Sydney. No, not the kind of gallop where you lengthen for a few strides and then bring it back. I mean balls to the wall, freakin' GALLOPING, and it was insanely awesome!!!!!!

This doesn't take a lot of explanation. Captain Awesome was feeling super relaxed and listening to my aids, but he also needed to wake up a little bit. I pushed my hands forward, lightened my seat and said, GO! We made several laps around the arena slowing only slightly for the corners. As his hind legs coiled underneath him, I was astonished by the height we achieved as his front legs came up and forward. It was completely fantastic!
I've galloped many horses in my lifetime, but I've never really galloped a thoroughbred before. And even as Sydney showed me a few new gears, I could tell he had a lot more in there.
Someday, when we have more room, I want to really see what he can do!
