A lot has happened in the last month. I havent been blogging it. I wish I had now, so I'm picking up again on the blogging. I cant really summarize what's happened so I'll try to summarize where I think I am with the horseys.
Lady:
I was doing really well riding her every time I was at the barn. I dropped the habit after a last minute trip to CA so I want to pick it back up again. Sometimes we really get in sync and its very good.
Star:
Star is rounding her back at the trot! Its really nice. Next up, canter. Her canter in the arena lacks impulsion. Her departures are reluctant. She is always poised to stop if she feels like she's loosing her balance. On the adgenda is to teach her better transitions; that its not acceptable to just stop cantering; and also, that she can keep herself balanced and not feel the need to stop.
Colonel:
Colonel is doing pretty well at remaining calm. He's even doing a little better at calming down after something hypes him up. He is still: leaning on the reins during transitions; throwing his shoulder out around the bend; reluctant to pick up the canter on command; falling in like crazy at the canter. On the adgenda is: teach him a reasonably nice stop, teach him to follow his nose, teach him balance at the canter.
