Hid from the wind at Platinum

The cold wind howled Friday, Saturday, and is still blowing, albeit more softly, today.  Had a jumping lesson this morning at Platinum.  We used the outdoor arena even in the wind.  I actually moved away from a couple of standards because I was afraid they were going to blow over on us.  Pico and I graduated to verticals though and cantered more jumps.  He is lovely -- never looks at anything (only Rochelle).  I managed to jump for him at least 50% of the time - icky!

Went back over this afternoon with Gracie to ride in the indoor.  It really is nice to have the mirrors.  Right half-pass was pretty good.  Left wasn't too bad.  Piaffe got better as the afternon progressed.  Medium trot was awesome.  Only issue was cantering in shoulder-in.  She does not like that!

Both horses ridden!  Lately that alone is miraculous.
