In a funk

I went to the barn in a funk this afternoon. I had a rough day dealing with life so my head was really busy with stuff. It's kind of funny how horses pick up on this. Went in the paddock and Chiclet was sunning himself with two of his buddies. The ball was next to him so I went and sat on it just to hang out. All 3 horses came over to say hi and see if I had a cookies. It was so cute I put my hand out and all three of them touched me at the same time.

Brought Chiclet in and gave him a good grooming against his will of course. He hates to be groomed. Saddled him and went to the outdoor to play. While playing I was in la la land trying to focus on what I was doing. It looked like he was not ridable so we did what he likes driving game ok now he looks ridable. Got on rode lots of walk halt transitions move to the trot doing figure 8. Still not feeling like things are right. I was looking around to see if anyone was around but the farm was like a ghost town. I really wanted to go out on the trail but no one was there to let them know where I was going. What the hell I decided to just go. This is our first trail ride with just the 2 of us no baby sitter. Got to the trail trotted stopped a few times all good so far. Once we got to the dirt road his feet were sticky so I just kept trotting and moved him sideways back and forth found some grass at the end of the road and stopped. He only wanted to eat a few mins though. I told him is was ok and we wondered home. Yay! we lived through our firth trail ride alone. The funny thing is when we got back there still wasn't anyone around.
