I walked down to the barn and got out my saddle and the other stuff. I brought in Mini and CC, who were out playing all night. I groomed CC well and tacked her up. I led her out to the ring and mounted her. I walked her around the edge of the ring. She walked quietly. I then asked her to trot. She jogged along nicely. I trotted her over a pole as I went. She calm hopped over it. I patted her and trotted on. We did circles and worked on going from a walk to a halt, trot to halt,walk to trot,ect. I let her walk and then cantered her briefly. I gave her a pat and cooled her out. i dismounted her and led her into the barn. I untacked her and let her graze for a few mins before puting her in her stall. Next, I brought in Flick and TC from their all night playing too. I then got out Courage and began to groom him. I tacked him up and mounted him. I walked him on the rail for a bit and then asked for the trot. He was surprisingly good, a nice calm trot. I reversed and walked. I then cantered him around the ring once and did a flying lead change acrosss the diagonal of the ring. we cantered around once the other direction and walked. we trotted over some poles and jumped a same crossrail. Next month Courage would turn 4, making him old enough for over fences training. I cooled him out and dismounted. I led him into the barn and untacked him. I grazed him a few mins before putting him away. I fed the horses,cleaned their stalls,and watered them. I then went up to the house for a bit.
