Trying something new!

Well tonight was Adult Ride #5 and I chose to ride Rock! He was an angel for grooming he only tried to bite me once and he was an angel for drills. His lead changes are awesome. We tried to lope our drill tonight....it did not go so well. Everyone tried really hard we just have such a wide array of ability it was hard to get everyone included. I had fun calling on Rock, we got to be outside of propeller and we actually took it pretty fast so that was fun! He rolled so many times which was nice so I didn't have to towel him off as much. We are cancelled for next week due to the predicted low temperatures so I'll see you guys in two weeks.

Adult Ride #4

Tonight I chose Jericho #107! I rode him for my AAA white olympics where we won 1st place! So it was great to ride him again. I've always enjoyed his smooth gaits even though he can be very forward sometimes. We rode our drill and I got to call again. We also did lots of warm ups and maneuver practice. A lot more alumni have come out now that colleges are going on break so it's been nice to catch up with friends :)

Getting Back to Drills!

Tonight was my 3rd adult ride! I got Dodger #6! He was just as fun as I remembered him :) Awesome gaits, speed control, leads, etc. We had a fairly small class. It was pretty cold so sadly we had to keep the speed down. I got to call our drill twice and it was a lot of fun getting to work on drills again :) Dodger was a little frustrated but did very well. I really like him, definitely a favorite rental horse and so photogenic. He was hardly sweaty so I got to go home pretty quickly. Although the speed and difficulty are comparable to AA its still great to get horse time. I also like being able to focus on my equitation more.
