Wednesday's Ride!

This morning it is quite cold..well it is windy and that doesn't help any:D Anyway I went out and got navajo..I did want to groom him but the mud on him was wet so it would have smeared:D So I just groomed him best I could and hopped on..I took him out in the big back yard and got him to trot and canter a little to warm up..He kept wanting to canter so I decided to take him down the strip.

Down the strip we went:) He kept hopping sideways..very annoying but I did stay on. I asked for a trot and he went into the field..I was like ok..you want to keep trotting sideways instead of a straight line we will canter..And canter we did:)

He did pretty good considering he didn't want to go in the field the other day with me on him. He stopped and I got him to go the other way. Then I took him back on the grass and told him to trot back..and he didn't even try to rush into a canter or anything..I was so happy with him..Then we got back and I told him to flex and then I got off and asked for him to back up..I also got him to shake a leg (he remembered)..I was happy! Overall it was a great ride...I got him to walk beside me to the barn..he didn't even rush ahead..Today was a great day!! SO cold but great day:)
