...just not writing.
Lindsay K rode Gracie Wednesday. I rope Pico that evening - just a few minutes in the arena working on canter transitions mostly. Thursday no one rode - cold and windy. Friday I rode Gracie and Lindsay rode Demi.
Saturday I rode Pico and Lindsay rode Demi - around the loop and a little time in the arena.
Sunday Pico and I had a lesson at Platinum. He did a great job, especially all by himself for the first time! We jumped the barrels and the stone wall, and his very first oxer. Everything was in the 2 foot to 2'3 range and we worked on cantering as much as possible. Totally cool, although I really need the canter depart and the ability to keep cantering. :^) Also worked on two related jumps in a straight line - Pico is seriously wiggly at a canter. We need to work harder on the canter in a straight line concept.
Rode Gracie after I got back from Platinum. Awesome right canter half pass. I am having huge trouble with left anything. We ended up working on haunches in to the left at a walk, then trot. Ick! She will go sideways in the canter half-pass, but her haunches trail and I can't move them over without losing bend completely (counter bent). That needs to be our next lesson with Frances.
