My boy missed me

So I had my wisdom teeth out last Friday and the last day I got to ride Vin was Tuesday. We allow Vinnie to be used in the lesson program at our barn for a price reduction in boarding and when I went to the barn last night, the riding instructor Anna was there. She said that Vinnie was a real jerk on Friday. He bucked when one of the girls asked him to canter (which he never does!) and was being a general pain in the butt. We are used to him being stubborn, but not like that. She had choked it up to the horses not being able to get out in the pasture because of the crappy weather we have had lately. So I was interested to see how he would act when I rode him last night.

Little butt-head was a dream to ride! We worked on bending to the left and he was attentive the entire time. We worked on an even consistent canter and canter transitions and it was wonderful. We had a really fun time! So I came to a conclusion: I think he missed me!
