Friday 20th February

A week today and I will be loading the ponies into the trailer to go home, I can't believe how fast the last 3 months have went!!

Today I played with Blossom online and had a play with some of the tasks that didn‘t go so well for us yesterday or the ones I would like to improve.

So today everything went much better than it did yesterday, especially her porcupine games I really noticed an improvement everything was just so much softer and smother.

Well seen as everything was going well I decided it was better not to play online for to long and try and find problems.

So I saddled and started with checking my lateral flexion with the CS and then my back up from the SS and also turning left and right from the SS. This all went very well so we moved on to playing with follow the rail in walk and trot and this went very well, she still gets impulsive if we use all of the arena so we are still only using half.

We then played with transitions from walk, trot and canter and these went very well she is now really listening to me and going up and down the transitions from just the energy in my body. As everything was going so well I put the cradle bridle on her and started with a passenger lessons just to get her used to having the bit in and then gradually took up more of a contact on the reins.

We then played with circles and transitions and she was really good and stayed very calm and relaxed, so I was happy with this so decided to finish on this and not push her to do anymore for today.
