Pretty good ride on Tanza today

I took him out solo.   He was a bit nervous but did not feel like he was on the verge of getting overwhelmed.   I had so do some "ha ha ha" and singing when I realized I was overly tense in my body.   I was half expecting a 4-wheeler to pop over a hill and send Tanza into a spook and bolt but tense rider is not helpful.  Thankfully I remembered the ha ha ha and then singing from centered riding clinics and was able to relax enough to ride halfway decently.    Feels good for getting him going and having a good mount although I may have to scale back some tentative early season rides I had thought I might try to go to.   How did it get to be mid March already?
