Let's start with the mud. He was FILTHY. Blu ground earth into his ears, between his legs, and some how got it up under his blankets... He was very proud of himself as he jigged up the road to the barn. I am sure he was laughing as we sloshed through the puddles splashing cold wet water up my legs.
My ride as always was a very good one. His warm up was really good - plenty of energy, fairly soft in the bridle. The warm-up canter was especially good. It felt really up hill and forward.
When I picked him up for his second set he wanted to get heavy so we did alot of transitions and moving away from the leg. We did shoulder in at the trot to walk back to trot holding the position of the exercise. He really liked it... NOT but it got to the point and our final work was very good.
Working inside is becoming a chore... too many children on school horses they can not control. If I do not get out of work on time on Mondays I can forget riding. Can be very frustrating... The saving grace is he is so well cared for.
