My horse is so perfect.

I haven't ridden River in like a month... he was off with his abscess, now I'm sick and just don't feel up to riding.  My friend was in town from out of state, so naturally she had to come ride him.

He was perfect.  I won't walk you through every step he took, but he was so so good.  I've never had a horse with so much try.  He doesn't say "no", he says "I'm not sure, can you clarify?"  Not that he's blindly perfect, but he doesn't get snotty.  You can tell he's doing the best he can.

He cantered a crossrail!

And trotted 2':

Still frame of 2':

Oh, and this is probably the most exciting thing....

BUTT FOAM!  He's finally fat enough to get butt foam!
