i carried her tack into her stall and fed her a carrott as an appology for not being able to make it to the stabel 4 the last couple of days and for missing out on our workouts. i groomed her quite well, and removed all of her loose hair. i then saddled her and led her towards the dressage ring indoors. i walked her around to get her warmed up and to give her time for her muscles to loosen. i then gacve her a pretty intensive workout consisting of walking, both extended and condensed. i even got her to pirorette on the spot. i got her trotting quite smoothly, it is much easier to sit at now that she doesn't bump around to much. i managed to get her to take a few steps backward on command like last time, and then i cantered her in serpentines, 10m and 20 metre circles. i worked on flying chages and changing diagonals while riding on diagonals while trotting. She is becoming a lot more like a dressage horse now, alot smoother in all gaits, needs very little encouragement to perform whatever i tell her to do and she is beginnig to 'hold herself highly' while working giving her the dressage horse look. After an hour and a half i unsaddled her and walked her around the yard. i then turned her out into the field and headed back into the barn to put the tack away and to muck out both Crystal and Memento stalls.
