Spring Break Fun Ride!

The best perk of spring break is having more time available to ride! I went out to Bo's place on Monday and got to ride around with his owner and work on some cueing and overall practice. Then today she brought him to the fairground for me, he got a massage too and then I rode him while his owner rode Jack. We did some practice and warm ups and then I worked on lead changes. I really focused on picking up the correct lead and did lots of figure eights. I was doing mostly simple changes and just making sure he was consistent there before trying for a flying. He isn't quite sure of what he's supposed to do so we will keep working on it. I also practiced stopping from a lope and he did some INCREDIBLE stops too. So overall I feel like it was a very productive evening. His owner rode him a little and it was educational to she how she cues him for things such as backing up. I think it'll make team a little easier on saturday for sure. It was a little rainy and I'm worried about the "big storm" that's supposed to roll in. Hopefully we don't get cancelled. Anyway here are some pictures I thought you guys might enjoy!
