catch up

Wednesday: review of what I did with Dan, confused about implementing the offensive step forward in a hind quarter ?yield, 360 on the rail was good the 3rd time--its step 3 that lags. Also played with the GATE all over the farm--lots of big energy backing with stick etc.

Thursday: hack in the ring but no stirrups with Cathy and Shirley. Really nice canter. Try thought about rushing out of the gate behind Shirley but after one backup thought again and exited with a relaxed walk. Then we walked up the road past the hunting camp--Shirley was a bit wary of the RVs and dogs and Try was in synch with Shirley.

Friday: great ride. warmup/no stirrups then played with 3 gates at the trot and canter and then relax. (not a jog or lope) I am so proud of Try's improvement with this--she was so relaxed even after the extended canter.
