Time for some rest

Had this years last lesson some days ago and the day after we had a great trailride. During the lesson everything worked like a dream and he had 100% focus on me with an happy relaxed attitude, felt like a great last lesson! The trailride wasnt supposed to be a trailride... the plan was to do some zone 5 driving build confidence with all the new snow-monsters out there, but he relaxed after a short while and I got tons of snow in my shoes so I got up on a big stone asking him to carry me, he said "what's taking you so long, get up so we can get going again!". Rode bareback in warm cozy pants not made for riding, more like ski-pants, so when we were going downhill I bounced around. A few months ago that would have made him uncomfortable and before that he would have bucked me off, but not now. Didnt even get a dissatisfied look, not even when he got "ants in his pants" and started to trot down.... He really shows his emotions with every inch of his body and that day he only showed happiness, the day after I got fever so we havent done anything more than hanging sharing some undemanding time and protect your herd of two. Going away for xmas and the plan was to keep playing with him until I went but now I think his xmas-break will start abit earlier instead.
