Thursday was supposed to have a riding lesson, but didn't quite happen. Pico got a around half an hour in the morning warming up, but that was my riding for the day. Friday and Saturday Lindsey Joy rode Gracie and I rode Pico. Sunday Lindsay K. rode Gracie and I rode Pico. You would think that means lots of training for Pico.... but not so much. :( We did start working on the exercise that goes -- shoulder-in along long side, trot across short diagonal, leg yield along rail on opposite long side. The first part is straight-forward, the leg yield is very very hard. Still playing with leg yield -- he goes over nicely, but there isn't any cross-over. To work on that I started haunches-in. That's difficult, but beginning to happen.
Gracie was pretty stiff Sunday and short off her left hind. She has some scrapes from an incident over-night, so perhaps that's the problem. Lindsey J spent time yesterday working on her showmanship skills with her on the theory she is going to try her Sunday at the buckle show, so she needs to be sound.
