I walked into the barn. i grabbed Courage's halter and lead line. I caught him. He was wild after not being ridden for
2 days. I walked him out to the ring where I cliped my lunge line onto his halter. I let him loose. He bolted and ran around me. He stretched the line as far as possible. After a little bit, his wild gate began to slow to a steady canter. Soon he was collectively trotting around me, obeying my voice commands.I cooled him out and lead him into the barn. I groomed him and turned him back out. I then
swapped Courage's stuff for TC's stuff. I caught my big 16.3hh TB stallion and led him into the barn. He was calm despite his 2 day weekend. I groomed him and tacked him up.
I led him out to the ring. I mounted him and let him walk around. His bell boots clucked rythmically. i asked hi to trot. He launched into a beautiful collected trot. I practiced extending him and collecting him at the trot. I reversed and cantered a short time. I cooled him out and untacked him. I gave him a treat and turned him out.Next, I grabbed Sparkle. I tacked her up. I led her out to the ring and hacked her. I cooled her out and turned her out. Finally, I groomed Dutchess and began to halter train her foal, Fire Dutchess. Her foal was proud, and thought that she was too good to be lead around by some weird object. I put away my stuff and left.
