After riding Memento, i went back into the barn to fetch Crystal, my arabian mare. She was in an energetic mood and as i groomed and saddled her, she looked excited. I then led her towadrs the outdoor ring and cantered her until she was warmed up and ready. i then got her to perform some more flying changes, and got her to walk backwards. i also managed to get her to take several steps to the side, crossing her legs. she looked extremely elegant. i worked her on her extended walk and her elegant compressed walk, making her lift her legs extremely high. i got her to walk on the spot, and i trieds to get her to perform a piroette, but she only rotated about 90 degrees. i'll work her on that next time. she is really turning into a grest dressage horse.as a cool down i got her to work on her transitions, and then wlak around, in formations and figures. i then unsaddled her and turned her out into the paddock for the arfternoon. i then returned into the barn to put away the tack and muck out Memento and Crytals stalls.
