Today Cleo and I are taking the day off from riding, but I have already spent the morning with her cleaning, feeding, watering, and starting the day in a fresh and positive way. My favorite part of each day is spent with the horses. They are all glad to see me--and their hay. Cleo is one of the most talkative horses at the stables. She recognizes my car and starts neighing as soon as I drive up the lane.

Yesterday I had a great ride on Cleo. The weather often influences the way each of us feels and behaves.
