I walked into the barn. i got out my tack and taked up Courage. I led him out to the ring and mounted him. I walked him around a bit before trotting. He was on the bit, but his hocks were trailing behind him. I collected him a bit and he moved better. My hands posted with me, opps. I did my best to correct this. We did some serpintines to loosen up and cantered. He had a beautiful rocking chair canter. It was light and airy, like I was riding on the clouds. I did a flying lead change across the diagonal. It went nicely. "Good boy!" I said as I hand-galloped him on one side of the ring. I asked him to trot. He came down nicely. I let him trot once around before asking him to halt. I backed him 4 steps and walked forward. He was being so good. I walked a bit, i was tired and he was getting tired. I trotted him over a crossrail a bit. He was good.
I trotted him over a crossrail to vertical line. The vertical was about 2ft. He cleared it easily. I gave him a patt and cooled him out. I untacked him and hosed him off. I let him dry some. I gave him a treat and put him in his stall. Next, it was TC's turn. I got out the big TB and groomed him. I then tacked him up and led him out to the ring. I mounted him and took him on a trailride. We rode for about and hour and then came back. I untacked him a brushed him off. All we did was walk so he wasn't that sweaty. I gave him a treat and put him away. I groomed Amy,
Sparkle,Sparkle's foal as well as halter train her,Peaches,
and I went up to the house.
