Rode yesterday. Lunged for 20mins for warm-up. w/t/c. Then rode for about 30mins w/t/c. Did some counter canter. He was awesome! He broke a few times around the corners but was good on the shallow loops. Then Sarah Hall got on and cooled him out for me. No riding today. I had to work 12-5. I went down and cleaned his water buckets and cleaned out the few poops in his stall. ** edit due to calling Counter Canter, Canter Counter  |

I have ridden 4 times this week. He is a STAR!
Rode with a new bit today. Hunter D-Ring. He was excellent! We did a nice long warm up. Lots of laterial work at the walk. Then did a lot of trot-walk-trot transitions. By the end of that he kept holding himself nicely through his transitions. Then on to canter. Loads of canter circles, a few simple changes. Did some walk to canter and some canter to HALTS! Woohoo. LOL He was super today. Im riding again tomorrow, without a doubt!

Rode again today. With the D-Ring. I love love love that bit! Nick is so much more responsive to the littlist half halts. We did alot of trot and change of directions on a 3 loop serpentine, and figure 8's. We did alot of canter work as well, Nick even broke a sweat. I even worked up a sweat! Liz was teaching Leah a lesson while I rode and after she asked me to leg yeild Nick from the inside track to the rail and he did it with his front end, but needs to get his butt in sync with his front end. We have a lesson soon, I cant wait! It was a good workout and I cant wait to ride again tomorrow |
