It's Saturday so we must be working on half-pass

Or anyway it's starting to feel like that.  Gracie and I spent a few minutes working on canter half-pass Saturday.  We began though with the old collected canter - lengthened canter on a circle exercise.  That was a good way to get some relaxation and bend before going sideways.  I think as a result we had some nice half-pass in both directions. The canter lengthenings and collections are easier to the left, which is weird.  We did one flying change each direction after doing several canter-walk-canter transitions.  One is good, then the tension and anticipation is back.  

Got on Pico again finally also -- same-old-same-old in the arena.

Sunday Lindsey and I joined the Parmleys for a ride around Greenland.  Played on the trail course there a little first.
