Friday 9th January

Well another very cold day, but I did get some pretty pictures!!





Today with Blossom I played at liberty and she was really good and we were able to do all seven games without any problems. So I was really happy with this as I have put a lot of work into getting sideways better as this didn’t work at liberty the last time I tried, and today we managed a few steps both ways without any problems! The problem we had with squeeze game the last time seemed to have disappeared as there was no problems today, so I don’t know what the problem was the last time.

I them put the savvy string around her neck and jumped on her and we started with follow the rail of the round pen. She was really calm and relaxed so I then asked her to trot and she was so soft and would come back to walk from the energy in by body and then stand and back up. Eddy commented how relaxed she was and I think he was actually shocked to see me riding her like this ‘naked’ as he calls it!! I then worked on disengaging the HQ and FQ, moving the FQ was easier than the HQ so I will need to work on this to improve it.

By the time I finished playing with Blossom I was really cold so I didn’t do very much with Smarty today, just a few games to let him stretch his legs and the rest was mainly just friendly games with the CS and the CS with the plastic bag which he is now getting much better with!!

Leanne, I'm so impressed at your photographic skills. If you ever give up your day job I think you have another career ahead of you!
