(these are for 2 weeks worth of rides,besides the work, all of the horses who I rode got hacked)

Calypso: I worked with him on dressage, he is getting very good at it.He had a little trouble doing the half-passes because at first, he couldn't figure out what I was trying to get him to do.He did good at collecting and extending except his collected canter is 2 fast.I aslo jumped him over courses with jumps from 4' to 5' high.He got a awesome times.I also worked on endurance with him and cantered him for 2 miles 4 days of the 2 weeks.

Miss Congeniality: I worked on halter with her and she had good movement,manners and form.I also jumped her over a 5 foot course.She had a litlle trouble getting over a very large triple with a very big spread.I worked with Miss C. on extending her canter and she did better over the triple when she extended her stride more before it.

The Winning Touch: I did 2nd level dressage and 4'9 jumping with Touch.He was a little spooked when he knocked a rail and got splashed by the liverpool.I worked with him on not spooking at that fence.He was very good at dressage and had wonderful movement and awesome donward transitions.

Sunset: I did halter with her and she had very flashy movement.I rode her saddleseat and she did all 5 gaits perfectly.Then I jumped her over a 2 foot hunter course.Sunset was a little slow over the course so I jumped her over the course with a crop and she perked up and jumped the course at a good speed.

Elite Challenge: I jumped him over 4'6 jumper courses and he wnt over the courses perfectly with great times.I did 1st level dressage with him and worked on turning on the hindquarters and forehand,flying lead changes and travers & renvers.I also jumped him over a cross country course.Elite really enjoyed that but he got pretty tired.I worked with him on endurance also.

Wynde Dancer: I jumped her over a course of crossrails.She was a little spooky about going over them at first.She was pretty unbalanced so I worked on cantering circles with her.

Milady:I jumped her over 4' jumper courses.She did very good.Then, I did the 2nd level dressage test with her and worked on doing schaltens and zig-zag appuyments with her.I also did some carriage driving with her and Nevermore on the driving trails and I did some cross country courses with her.

Nevermore:I did the 2nd level dressage test with him and jumped him over some 3'3 jumper courses and the 3'6 hunter course.He idi the dressage test perfectly and was very willing to jump.I also carriage drove him on the driving trails with Milady.

Wildfire: I walked and trotted on him.He bucked a few times and then settled down to work.

Silver Tshockwave: I lunged him at a walk and trot.Tshockwave was moving very well and was very obediant.

Priceless: I lunged him at a walk and then conditioned him by walking and trotting on the trails for a mile or 2 every other day.

Dipped In Chocolate:I worked on western trail,equitation and pleasure with him.He didn't spook at any of the objects in the trail courseI set up for him.Then, I did hunter equitation with him.I also went on some trail rides with him.

Satina:I jumped her over the 3 foot hunter course.Satina tucked up her knees very cutely over the jumps and was very alert.Then, I schooled Satina in training level dressage.

Summer Breeze:I jumped her over the 3'6 hunter course.Summer was a little suprised about the height difference because she usually jumped 3 feet.I think she is going to make a very good 3'6 hunter.I also did the 1st level dressage test with her.

Sterling Beauty: I did the 3'9 cross country course,the 2nd level dressage test and various jumper courses with her.She was very good about it all and got down to work.

Mr. Wonderful: I walked and trotted him over crossrails and did the intro level dressage test with him.Wonder was very crious bout the groundpoles but he went over them anyways.Once he figured out that the groundpoles wouldn't hurt him, he was prfectly willing to trot over them.

Midnight Flash:I just hacked him.Flash was very spirited and bucked a lot.Once he got the buckes out, he was very good.

Pride's Breeze: I lunged her at a walk and trot.

Corrado:I got him used to a halter and led him around a little bit.He tried to rub the halter off on Braveheart but it didn't work.Once Corrado figured out that the halter wasn't going anywhere, he left it alone.

Braveheart:I got her used to a halter also.She was more willing than Corrado to keep it on.

Fiery Miss:I lunged her at a walk,trot and canter.Missy mostly got the leads right on the canter.
