Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Thursday:  Lindsay K came over and rode Gracie.  I rode Pico.  We both worked on transitions.....

Friday:  Rode Grace and worked on flying changes.  I hang on the left rein in left lead down transitions and that makes her throw her haunches right.  Of course I have no right rein for that down transition.  Yargh.  The changes were better.

Saturday:  Rode First level test 3 and Third level test 1.   She is almost better at the 3rd level test.  Same down transition problem as yesterday though -- no right rein.  Changes were messy, but happened.

Pico was much better.  Canter depart was scrambly and scooty, but still better.  We were almost cantering instead of galloping.
