No work
I get to ride
Normally some down time
Yeah Saturdays are good.
It was absolutely freeeeeeezing at the barn. I don't think I ever actually got warm warm while riding ha!
Got Henry, tacked up and got on. Walked a few laps and then started in. For some reason I was pinching with my right knee today and have a nasty rub on it and it hurts, bad!
We hacked around- lots of posting, sitting, 2 point, change or direction, cantering and I even did some no stirrup on my own.
Then we moved onto jumping....
Warmed up over 1 as a whole group.
Then moved onto 1, right lead to 2, left lead to 3. Then I did 1 to 2 to 3 at a bit of an angle to the left and back to 2 and then 3.
The first round it was rough and after that he was pretty good.. he was forward- to forward but it never makes me worry, i just have to get him to come back better.
Watched the Hawley clinic a little and was so cold I couldn't stay more then once session. Nicku and Pongo did awesome!!!
Day 2 of the clinic tomorrow and I will probably go turn Henry out and watch :)
Agree 100% Saturdays are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you got to have your lesson and even better to hear that it went well! Sorry to hear you were cold though, wrap up warm next time! :p
Snow here today, so I hear ya on the cold. Brrr!
Hope you pick up some handy tips at the clinic, don't forget to share them with us please! ;-)
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
I know us CA are big babies but I swear it was like in the low 30's with the wind... my phone said it was 44 but i can vouch it wasn't that warm! You would think i would have been warm- I had on a tank, long sleeve, sweatshirt and snow jacket but nope I was shivering!
DeleteLove Saturdays! Have fun tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteHopefully its a bit warmer for you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe wind wasn't as bad which made it more enjoyable :)
DeleteHope it turns out to be just a little bit warmer for you or a lot might help!
ReplyDeletehaha i was better! Little less wind :)
DeleteI'm trying to blow some warm weather your way - 74 today. That's a little warm - I'm starting to worry what this summer is going to be like...:/
