Tried clipping but ??blades old--ordered new.
Rode a little in new baretek saddle pad--even canter felt just like western saddle. Have ordered a girth for it--old one was way too big and pad kept slipping.
today: raining--hopefully clippers will be working with new blades and I can at least get that accoomplished today and maybe pack for Saturday.

Saturday
well filmed some and wasn't happy with what I saw micromanaging, no good drive, and Try snarky with falling leaf.
Riding: tried next dressage pattern--riding and reading at the same time--Try is so great at staying on pattern even when we don't know what it is yet ggg. Then cantered/loped in western saddle the requisite 10 laps--she was up/pounding just a little but overall nice and relaxed and it wasn't a bit deal physically for her.
New bareback pad arrives Mon ups--can't wait.

Beautiful day. Try and I enjoyed liberty stuff and riding with Kathy and her horse Shirley and then dressage pattern at posting trot (bareback pad).
BUT got home and watched video. Try is really calling the shots and the leader in the round corral. I need to take the leadership, be particular about what I want and not be governed by trying to keep her in a good mood.
ok: pedestal/extreme friendly, lead by hocks, ball, jump cavaletti turn and face
needs attention: figure 8, circle, spin, lead by tail,stick to me maybe at least as means to travel from one obstacle to another

Sun am
Got out early to beat the rain
Try was so sweet
1. touch it--magic, follow my focus and her suggestion
2. circle bend - used chalk--we had it
3. behind the back - yes but I could have been lighter and used my phases better
4. pilates warmup
5. new dressage pattern - bareback pad and rope haltamore: walked the pattern--used reins for new stuff (Try has learned the previous patterns so well) and then repeated most of it at posting trot.)

Friday Try and I
Well, I was still sick and Try a bit distant ...
Warmup: touch it, lovely pedestal, ball on the rail--best ever (and Try did not even recognize these at Mary's Wed--tho she did "level 4" stand on the barrel LOL
Circle on line for bend: I think we had it--taking chalk with me and will ask BA to help as it is hard for me to see from the side.
Figure 8 online--great. liberty not so much--alternated as Tuesday with Try leaving, circling in a relaxed manner then coming back to me. Better draw than Tuesday.
Forgot: to check Try's attitude coming in to me but it was likely ok, also forgot to play with the exercise diseng HQ to get two eyes, stick behind the back and driving FQ with 2 hands on the stick.
