I entered Crystals stall and gave her a quick groom. I clipped the lead rope to her halter and lead her outside into the sun. I gave her a quick lookover and then saddled her. i lead ehr into the indoor ring were i had set up a jumping course. i mounted and warmed her up. after 10 mins or so i headed her towards the first fence. THE FENCE WERE BETWEEN 3'6" AND 4' SO SHE HAD NO TROUBLES WITH ANY OF THEM. sorry about the caps. she jumped quite well, except for once on the triple were she had to shorten her stride before taking off the third time. she still landed correctly. unfortunately, she knockked the rail down. this was the only problem/ fault she had so when we had completed the course (in good time) i worked her over the triple again and again until i was sure she had conquered it. i worked her on some dressage and then cooled her down and turned her out into the paddock for the afternoon.

Next i got out Memento and groomed and saddled him. i took him to the dressage ring, worked on all of his gaits, transitions, figures, did some legwork, worked on his piroettes and passages, and even got him to take some steps backward. as a relaxin cool down i took him on a trail ride where we both enjoyed the scenery. i once again worked him at all gaits and when we reached the stables again, i hosed him down and turned him out until sunset.
