After breakfast I had a lovely surprise as I had lots of presents to open. Santa had brought them all the way over to Holland for me, and Corine and Nadine really put a lot of effort into keeping it a surprise for me. So this was really nice of them to go to all that effort for me!!
Even though it was Christmas I still went and played with the ponies. I started online with Blossom and played with:
Driving from zone 5
Sideways
Sideways at trot
Yo yo game
Squeeze game over a jump
Circles and change of direction
Today she was much better and seemed more focused on me and I was even able to play with circles next to the trailer without too many problems today!
I then played with Smarty and then saddled - I started with one CS riding today but I still felt I was leaning forward or always wanting to use my reins, so I decided to give 2 CS riding a go. Smarty was a little Star and I was able to walk, trot, canter, stop and backup like this and I felt totally safe and in control. I then got Blossom back out and led her from Smarty, they were both really good today and both were really focused on my energy. I felt it was going so well I even decided to try Blossom at liberty and this worked quite well too - she did leave a couple of times but came back to me very quickly!!
We finished up a little earlier as me and Corine were making ourselves Christmas dinner, it was a really good evening!! We started with making our dinner and then we watched Annie and then Miracle on 34th Street.
