Wednesday's Ride!

Today was my last ride till we get back now. It was a wonderful ride. We rode around the big yard here for a bit and then headed down the strip. Navajo didn't really want to go but he did. We walked most of the way down and then asked for a trot. Now some of you know that I have been having trouble with Navajo doing more than a walk along this stretch..WELL HE TROTTED!! It took a bit but he did. So we trotted toward home and I turned him around and trotted the whole way down again. We did do some surpentines at a trot and he did well..also did them at a walk.This is along the main stretch of the strip right along the road. We did this like 3 or four times and then I kept going and went around the corner. We did some trotting along there and I got him to move his forquarters and hindquarters and also stop. Navajo did everything really well! I must say compared to the beginning of the spring/summer he is so much more obediant and willing than at one point. I think once I get back from IN I will do some refresher course stuff and then work on dressage a bit more..SO EXCITED =)
