Monday

Progression:

1. pedestal
2. circling over a jump
3. touch it back foot
4. girtiness and bad attitudes
5. ride longer/harder

My Confidence

1. no stirrups with carrot sticks
2. begin riding in the big field

Today: Lovely day Try seemed to enjoy touch it and my slowing down and being more precise with cueing was waaaaay better. Circling a jump--good warmup and progression. Better with girthiness today.

I did two laps of no stirrups posting trot in close contact saddle with no reins--just carrot stick followed by two more with long, loose reins. Canter laps in the ring and trot in the big field.

Shower off, dwell and pedestal progress at liberty.
