Another trailride in the snow

Had another nice trailride in the snow today. Nalle is abit scared of stones and now when everything is covered in snow it looks alot different than it usually do, so there was alot of "oh what's that"-moments. But, and this makes me really happy, we have moved on in our relationship. Today when he saw something weird/scary/monster he stopped, looked for abit, turned is head and looked at me and asked if it was safe, then he relaxed and moved on. That feels like a giant step for a leftbrain horse, instead of turning to mother nature when it gets scary he turned to me. It feels like he's really starting to accept me as his leader and someone he can trust.
