So i just had my lesson and i rode max again ;D he was good but all we could do was walk halt transitions because both arenas were just giant bumpy sheets of glass! we were going to go insede but them we decided that we were going to stay out and play a horse trivia game and thats pretty much it, i hope by next monday the arena will be fit to atleast trot in (* praying for an indoor*)

[Erin ♥]

That's so awesome that you get to ride Max now ! Too bad that the arena was so crappy though !

I havent updated this since dec 10 because we couldnt ride on the icy ground with no studs, but i had a lesson today! Anyways i rode Josie today and she extreamly good! we warmed up with some walk halt transitions then we did some streching exercizes and after that we troted some 20 meter circles. After we were all warmed up we went no stirrups and we did a afew figure 8's at a trot then we cantered a few laps around the arena and Josie actually canter a normal horse canter! i was so pround of her. When we were finished i cooled out bareback then we went inside. When i put her back out in her paddock she rolled for about 2 minutes stright!

[Erin ♥]

She means proud

Yay for the arena not being bad !

[Erin ♥]

haha no prob

[stacey]

I rode Duke today in my lesson, first time i think since summer! We warmed up with w/t transitions then some halt work after that i went on a 20 meter circle in the middle of the arena while jenn and erin stayed out on the rail. On that circle i worked on not letting Duke's sholder bubble-out and keeping him not to forward lol. After we did that for a while i went 20 strides sitting tort then 20 posting, then i went for a good few laps of canter (finally, i havent had a long canter in ages ) then we did some more work sitting trot and then we went for another long canter. When we cooled out we were going to go in the small arena but Beuno broke into there, so we cooled out around the ponds we went aroud the same pond 7 times lol After that i went back in put on dukes halter, then i took Josie out came back took Duke out and i finally got al my stuff together then i went home. It was a really good lesson!

[Erin ♥]

[jpoole]

How are the pants working out?

[stacey]

Jpoole- they are great! Maria said the ride-up but they ditn at all for me!

Today in my lesson i rode Dante, We warmed up walk trot then troted on the long sides and walked on the short ( we couldnt do very much, they ground was realy bad! ) then we all swiched horses and i rode Brandy and it was actually alot hard, he was being extrealy lazy After that we cooled out and took our horses back then i went in and put him away! it was a good lesson

[Erin ♥]

How come you switched horses?

[jpoole]

Yea I think they rode up for me because they were a litttllee too small but im glad there good for you!

[stacey]

im glad too!

Erin- Im not exactly sure why we swiched horses but i think it was because we all had diffent paced horses and Angela wanted us to feel the same excersize on a different horse, we had to decide wich horse it was easyist on ..etc
