Quite Silver
Today I tacked up Doll as Katie had already gotten her used to the saddle. I led her out to the ring and started to lunge her. Since all the kids had gone with Kevin to help his friend bale hay I was alone to work all Katie�s horses today. I asked Doll to walk and she started to walk in a circle. It had been 2 long years since I had sold her back to Katie because I had no time to work with her. After a few minutes I asked her for a trot. She picked it up easily and kept going in a circle. I tried her at the canter to and she went very nicely. When I was done I took her back to the barn and groomed her and put her in her paddock. Then I went to get Raven.

Raven
I tacked up Raven a mounted up. I walked her around the ring once and asked her for a trot. I sat to her trot for one round of the ring then I posted for one more round of the ring. Then I asked her for a canter and she moved out to the faster paced gait beautifully. Then I stopped her and asked her for a canter from a stand still again she did the same thing and I kept her going for 2 more laps. After that I trotted her for a while. Then I asked her for an extended trot then a lengthening trot then a working trot then a collected trot. She did it all beautifully. I did the same thing at the walk and the canter as I had at the trot. After she had done all that I took her back to the barn and cooled her off and turned her out. Then I headed to ride Halo.

Halo
I put just a bridle on Halo and walked her into the indoor riding ring. I vaulted onto her back and walked her around after a lap I asked her for a trot. I sat to her trot and I did 5 laps at the trot then I asked her for a canter. I sat to her canter and went around the ring for a few laps. Then I headed her towards a line of 3-ft jumps. Am I crazy? I asked myself. I thought yes I am crazy but I am going to try it anyway. Halo went down the line of jumps and jumped them all perfectly. And most of all I stayed on. Then I headed her to a 4-ft jump and we flew over it as one. Then I saw it. The 5-ft jump in the center of the ring. I thought sure I could do that. Then I headed her to the jump and she soared over it. I felt myself slipping off her back so I squeezed harder with my knees. I stayed on and we landed safely on the other side. Then I slipped off her back and almost collapsed because my knees had almost buckled on me. I took her back to the barn and cooled her out. Then I put her out in the paddock. Then I went to tack up some of the racehorses.

Dalmatian
I tacked up the mare and walked her into the arena. I mounted up and put her into a trot. I sat to her trot and after 2 laps of the arena I asked for the canter. I got her to canter a nice fast paced canter. When we got 2 around I turned to the line of poles set up in the arena. She ran up to the end of the arena and I turned her and started to weave thorough the poles. Then at the other end I turned her and asked her to weave thorough the poles to the other end. Then I galloped her home.

Silver Angel
Today I just lunged her. It was a pretty simple lesson. It just consisted of walk, trot and canter. After I cooled her out and put her in her stall with I flake of hay I went to get Lucky.

Extremely Lucky
I mounted up and walked her out to the arena and asked her for a trot. After I had warmed her up I put her into a canter and headed her to a line of 5-ft jumps. She jumped the whole course and I brought her down to a walk and dismounted. I handed her off to a groom and went to tack up Spice.

Spice
I took spice out for a trail ride and I galloped him in the field and so on. After a while I took him back to the back to the barn and cooled him out and then turned him out in the field. Then I went to get
