Today was such a pretty day! It was chilly this morning but the sun came out. The sky was gorgeous with big fluffy clouds! Unfortunately I had to meet a girl to give her some stuff from our storage unit and go get hay. Both in Loganville, but I needed the truck for both things, so it was two trips worth. And the timing got messed up. So... I didn't get to go ride until later afternoon. Which is fine, but the big fluffy pretty clouds were gone. BUT... we did still get some pretty sights regardless!
We started off with a hack around the little lake and then went to do some dressage. We worked on our walk stuff then did our trot work. And he is a little braced again in the neck going right but we aren't really getting the hitch anymore, so yay! We did get some nice trot work. Then we did some canter work. I didn't do any lead change practice because no pole/cavaletti and I didn't want to drill. We did do our downwards and they are getting better slowly. Then we ran through some 2nd level test work. I couldn't remember the test exactly but parts and pieces so we did that. He was pretty super! Our mediums have gone by the wayside though, unless it's down centerline. I've got to figure out how to channel that! But we did the 3 loop with simple changes and they weren't too shabby! We did the short counter canter, which... again, the one way (I think it's left lead counter canter) he is SUPER haunches in, but... oh well. So then we went back to some trot work and tried a trot half pass each way. Holy smokes he's getting it!!! It was so much better today than it has been! Yay! So we quit with that! I was tempted to do a lengthen/medium down centerline but... decided nope.. quit with the awesome half pass attempts!
So then we went for a nice hour long hack. It was pretty. We did a little cantering and trotting but mostly just walked and looked for hills. Ahhhhh..... so much happiness!
