Ok I did get to ride tonigh! We tacked up and rode out. We did a lot of cantering and trotting and he did pretty good. I did some serpentines and circles to make sure Navajo's attention was on me and it was. Then toward the end he decided to run off:( TWO TIMES!! Well he didn't get the chance to, because I used the one rein stop on him both times. I turned him around and both times he acted as though he was going to balk but all I needed to do was back him up a bit and then he went forward. Slowly but he went forward. Then the third time he didn't run off with me of which I was very proud of him. We headed back and he didn't try to run off with me.
I asked my neighbor when he is going to cut the corn and he said 3 or 4 weeks. So I only have to wait that long till I can have a good long canter and gallop across the field:) Oh how I love autum and spring but funny enough that is about the only reason because i have a nice place to run him at!!! Well I need to head to bed but everyone have a great Labor Day and a good week at school or work or whatever you do:)
