Hot Shot and Champ.

I got to ride Hot Shot on the lunge line for a few minutes this morning. Unbelievable. I have to take it easy because I'm not super stable, but, wow, I could feel him feeling me, you know, immediately responding to the touch of a leg or an opening of my seat. He seems to appreciate a soft touch - he took good care of me. A memory-book morning.
