Sunday's Ride!

I got to ride today..AND HE LISTENED:) I went out and put his bridle on..Then I hopped aboard :D I took him out front and went the way that I took him on Friday and he went forward..and he walked at a nice pace:):) We walked down the strip then I asked for a trot..He listened after I asked him a few times..Then we trotted..I have gotten better at posting without a saddle! Then I took him in the field he was acting a bit weird but I got him to relax and stand still and then took him out on the grass again..We trotted the whole time..Then on the way back I asked for a canter and he did good..then I asked him to stop so he wouldn't run back to the barn..I backed him up a good ways...He tried to turn around but I always blocked him:D He tried to run back to the barn once I got him to go forward again but i just got him to go in circles..then I got off and got him to back a bit..Then I started going forward on the ground at a jog and he trotted after me:) So proud of him:):) Tomorrow I will work again on the groundwork and do some grooming too:) Have a great rest of the week!
