Hm. Short day, most of it spent feeling terrible.

Got there at 11, swept, helped untack Imp. Libby had wrecked her hotwire while I was sweeping (and was pretty distraught about it all), so I turned off the fence and redid her section. Hopefully it'll stay up a little longer.

Spent a long time with Luca. Robert had us do basically a figure eight like an 8, with standards to denote what to turn around and cones to get us cleanly through X. We started at a walk, then did a trot, then cantered one side, then cantered both with a trot through X, then picked up the next lead. Luca was a big fan of this, actually. He started pulling some pretty tight turns and getting much more balanced. He also figured out the trot-at-X thing. He'd feel pretty strong heading towards the gate at a canter, but come right back exactly at X.

Uh, started riding Niki. She was pretty good. We chased the black feral cat out of the arena and she seemed interested in that. We did walking serpentines. After a while she stopped to stare at Buzz hooking up the tractor to his truck and I realized that, while I've never passed out, what I was feeling was pretty much what I imagined it would feel like. So we walked over to the gate, chased the cat the other way (she loved that, actually), and I hopped off and sat down for a bit. Then walked her back, put her back, and went to the house to inform Robert that I was going home.
