Today I got to ride for about half an hour and then ten minutes of groundwork. I would like to ride for an hour but since we are so busy getting ready to go to a show I just don't have the time. But once we get back I have the rest of the summer to get into a routine of riding EVERY DAY for hopefully an hour =) That is my goal!
I first warmed up in the big yard for about ten minutes just walking around and such. Then Navajo and I headed down the strip. We walked the whole way down and turned the corner. Once we got to the corner I asked for a trot. He went into a trot real nice. Today we didn't do much but trot and do some surpentines. He did well with everything. We were down there for about 20 minutes. I then crossed over the road to the neighbors. I had asked the neighbor if I may ride on their property and she had said yes. So we rode over there I would say about 5 or ten minutes. Not sure exactly how long. Then I crossed the road again and cantered back. Before we got the whole way back I turned him around. Navajo wasn't to happy about this but I did it anyway =D We got some of the way down and I asked for a canter again. He hesitated a bit but for the first time in a very long time he cantered some of teh way down the strip. Tuesday it was a trot today it was a canter. Quite some progress I would say. Then we headed home. We cantered/galloped the whole way home..Then I got him off led him across teh stones and we were up in front of the hayshed for ten minutes doing groundwork. I got him to back up the hill and come when I whistle. Navajo did well with both things. Very happy with how things went today. Hope you all have a wonderful evening!
