two horses; lesson on Kaboose then short ride on Nuada to keep him limber. He'd rolled in the mud, so he was a gray horse with a brown neck and head... it looked funny.

Lesson focused at first on channeling forward motion trotting over rails. J put the rails on blocks and we did fine at the trot, but then she raised it again, and Kaboose got tangled and sproinged forward jolting me loose and making my heart race. I DON'T want to fall off again. Actually, I just don't want to hurt that bad again. And after that she read my tenseness and used it to duck out of stratghtness. We tried walking, we tried trotting, finally I walked and halted in between the poles. It ended well, but it was a struggle for both of us.

I cleared off my desk so I had a dust free spot for this circle, and I really love the way it came out. It feels deep and mysterious. It took four layers of organza to obscure the first trees I put down.
