Got to the barn last night, changed and got Henry. Groomed, tacked up and waited for my turn in the round pen.
He wasn't very animated, I think our "session" on Monday night made someone a little tired ;)
Hopped on and chilled while everyone slowly trickled in.
There were a TON of people in the arena but Henry doesn't mind so that's good :)
Flatted around and did some shoulder in, haunches in, haunches out.. Henry is way better to the right then the left but still he's not bad- I just expect a lot ha!
Then we warmed up as a group and then L and I waited our turn.
We did the vertical off the right lead, right turn to the panel (on the bottom of the above pic), straight line with a lead change to the left and up the other panel . Then she had me keep doing the panel's, in a figure 8.
Worked on our right to left lead- they were ok but not perfect so we made them better :)
Henry was a good boy, it was a good lesson :)
All tucked in post lesson :) |
You guys seriously looked like old pros
ReplyDeleteAh thanks! It felt good :)
DeleteI love that you have a round pen... Jealous mostly. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah idk what I would do without it.. these days Henry is more manageable but in the beg he has to be lunged forever before rides!
DeleteLol I try something like that with the water too--fun times especially when you're in class all day! ;) And Henry looks great in green!
ReplyDeleteYeah i have to run to the bathroom at work all the time lol!
DeletePlaying catch up again, soz!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys are doing great things as always. I love reading your reports, so inspirational. Would love to find a trainer like you guys that challenges & progresses riding. Sadly trainer at our yard has too many students and not enough time :-( Plus she was nowhere to be seen when I ran into difficulties with Kika, deapite K being in bootcamp with her wheb the naughtiness started - she suggested I get everything checked but never came back to see how I was getting on nor offer any help or advice...I was not impressed.
Oh man.. yes finding a good trainer (with experience to back them) is hard!
DeleteCome to CA, we will share! :)
Great job on staying hydrated. It makes a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteIm just hoping I can keep it up!
DeleteI have to pee all the time normally. So annoying. I should start drinking more water too. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteYeah I pee way to much now but the water is good for me so it's worth it lol :)
DeleteJealous of your water intake! Let me know if you have any tricks!
ReplyDeleteI got a 32 oz cup from Target and im drinking at least 2 of them a day- makes it seem do able when it's only 2 lol :)
DeleteI would start drinking more water, and I should, but I feel like I would be a constant running faucet then lol
ReplyDeleteI totally am!! Haha! I am hoping my body will get used to it :)
DeleteI tried drinking lots and lots of water once but its just not the same coffee lol. I do try to drink as much as I can though.
ReplyDeleteFor the above comment - this was actually Ruffles from Just A Girl And Her Horse, I accidently commented on my sisters account
ReplyDeleteHahaha no worries!
Deleteyes, sadly water and caffeine aren't the same :(
