Rides

Lovely ride tonight - around the loop on Gracie and then some arena time.  If we work really really really hard she can do a canter down transition that is through.  She didn't feel sore at all tonight, just fighting her natural inclination to drop her back and prop with the front end.

Rode Pico this morning - he was pretty well-behaved also.  Trotting with a relaxed back, leg yield with a relaxed back.  We can even trot the leg yield along the wall without getting tense.  Lindsey Joy rode him yesterday -- he started out tense, but relaxed quickly.  I'm asking him to move out more and he is able to do that without finding the sewing machine gait again.
