Mon: flight home
Tue: round corral with Try: tried out Linda warmup with Remmer-liberty. Try got up really quickly but not obedient. Not a good bonding session. I need to rethink this as I am not Linda and Try is way more sensitive (and less athletic conformation) than Remmer. End--dwell, treats etc in round corral to change energy.
Wed: fun day--rainy and cold, basic riding lesson with Keystone, 16'2' TB--I get tired much quicker from his big stride w/suspension but feel really safe and comfortable. L3 impulsion scale. We did ??4 laps each 2 point, posting trot and canter and 2 laps no stirrups posting trot--the second lap at 2 point. Try--played friendly in the pasture.
Thur: Try - round corral lovely day, sideways 2 barrels away and toward, little circling w/diseng HQ game over, pushed the ball on the rail 2-3 pushes per treat. Then we had our first riding lesson with dressage pattern #1--we had worked on it and were able to do it with few corrections i.e. asking for canter to trot transition effectively. Try was lovely, knew her pattern and I think felt really smart today.
Fri am: wet, cold again. Try not anxious to come in from pasture. Slow warmup, great with one step and wait and sideways at the rail and wait but not licking and chewing but I was not intense in my energy. We played with squeeze over pole and towel and turn and face--first on line and then just fine at liberty. Little bit of stick to me fast and slow walks, back, little canter. One time our stop and back wasn't as good, she looked for treat, got none, we repeated and she had it just right. Also nice little bit of circling/change of direction online so I could check how I change hands w/the stick--I don't pass under--I change when rope goes behind my back.
