Thursday - Fun Day!

A little gentle yoyo with less big energy up from Try and it helped--less RB reaction--feet escaping and anticipating, that is.

Riding:

1. usual girth program (good)
2. mount and wait
3. walk til blow (added in soft feel and release and then she blew)
4. warmup trotting at 2 point and then posting trot FTR (follow the rail)--if she comes off the rail--no correction, just keep trotting until she chooses to go back to the rail.
5. 4 laps no stirrups--2 with completely loose reins--a little winded at times and glad it was over but maintained good form
6. played bridleless with walk, jog, halt, backup and patterns. Purpose: good responsiveness for Try and my use of eyes, belly button, leg, stick. Relaxation and confidence for Try around the sticks and me not afraid to use stick.

Shower and pedestal out back--pedestal is getting better each time. Try is more confident with it and walked across it fairly calmly.

Today was fun and I felt successful and more clear in my communication.

Ideas:
1. Laura for nutrition info
2. Caroline ?? for swim at Cottonwood??
3. ?Monthly trailering for Try to Dans??
