It is starting to get warmer!

Saturday was actually surprisingly warm out! I had White Liberty 1 at 8am. It was so nice not to be stuck at 4 or 5pm for once!! Now if we could get a bgger arena that would be fantastic. We did warm ups for most of it and then did jumps. I kept the bridle on so I could work on enforcing and correcting jumps with Bo. He did much better even though he was quite spunky and was throwing his head around a lot. Then I had a quick nighthorse training meeting and we got the Dreamcatcher drills checked out to us. I still have my regular two trainees so I was pretty happy about that. At 10 I went and JI'd on Bo. We got 6 new horses. Two a few weeks ago and four this week. Banner, Woody, Jackson, Red Buck (Red), Gibbs, and Dinozo. It's very strange that I won't ever get the opportunity to ride them in JI. The class went well and we worked on some leads. At 12 Royal had a walkthrough and I walked 1-8, and 2-1. For our ride we rode with flags and it went great!!!! The drills went smoothly and not to many halt hos! The last drill I was 4-6!! OUTSIDE OF PROPELLER AGAIN!!!! I was thrilled. Bo was not doing his left lead very well though so I was concerned about him picking it up for that maneuver. I cued and he picked up his right but I cued again for a change and thankfully he switched it!! It was sooooooo much fun! I actually got to run some this time and everyone stayed in!!! I wonder if I might get that spot for my last estes.... I sure hope so! But I also want it at annual so either way. Bo was dripping sweat because it was so hot and humid in the arena because they shut the garage door for some odd reason. He had Red Roman immediately afterwards so I just helped switch his tack. After that I was done for the day. It was weird being done so early but I stayed to watch my friend in blue trick. It was sure nice to have warmer weather but I don't like it too hot hahahaha.
