30 Day Video of Claire!!

I have been on vacation for a few days, but I am back and ready to start riding again! I FINALLY figured out how to post this video and here is the link to Youtube:

Please tell me what you think of Claire's movement!!


I did ride today. Here is what I did:

1. Introduced the trot to walk transition.

2. Worked on speed and head carriage-- much better than what is in the video.

3. Made her take all the trot poles-- Much better!

4. A little on sidepassing-- she is still not getting it.

5. Backing-- But I need to work more on remembering to say "whoa."

She on the whole did much better after having a few days off. I think I might start riding her every other day and start working more with Annie. I can't ride Annie till January, but I do need to start ground driving her. And of course there is always Spencer. The vet said to lay off Poco for 6 months because she has a tendon injury. I will start riding Annie and Poco in January.
