I saddled crystal, after giving her a good grooming, and lead her to the indoor arena. i mounted and warmed her up for a few mins until she was ready to work. i worked her on her transitions, her leading legs (in canter) and her extended and collected walk and trot. i also did some leg yeilding and made her practise her serpentines, circles and other igures. i practised her stepping backward, and her half halts as well. aftre an intensive workout i performed a dressage test with her. she did pretty well, except with her flexing on the corners, she sometimes lets her bum and hind legs "fall out". i will work on that next time. after the test, i cooled her down, unsaddled her and turned her out for the arvo.
