On this lesson, Tina and I went on a trail ride. I rode the
lovely Helena of course while she rode her 28 year old, very spunky, Morgan
mare named Dawn. Awesome morning.
Weather was nice and cool with a gentle breeze. We went through a few desert
trails and washes at a trot. This helped me tremendously. I was about the get a
good rhythm with Helena’s trot, despite it being outside the arena.
When we
got back to the barn, we did do a little arena work. The biggest thing we worked
on was staying on the rail, which Tina assisted me with by pushing Helena on
the rail with Dawn! And when I have that rhythmic trot I can relax my leg and
my foot doesn’t slip around the irons as much. It worked and I got that good,
comfortable rhythmic trot that we had on the trail. All in all an excellent day
that left me feeling great.
Maintain: Rhythmic
trot, improvement on feet moving around.
Improve: Feet!
They still need to be solid and still, but it’s getting better. I also need to
work on control still but it’s getting there.
