What we did: groom, no stirrups posting trot for my strength in Try's field, obstacle course for fun, shower--clean ears and teats. Lovely day--cloudy, not hot, enjoyable activities, etc.
Obstacles: Kathy Cheever made me think of it after talking about ACTHA obstacles--see photo below. Anyway to have a no stress day I set up
1. Barrel to side pass--Try offered to sidepass it away and then come back.
2. Cavaletti pole--vertical straddle--wait until she figures it out--she knows it
3. Ball to kick--nice pleasant energy
4. Small jump--walk/trot and offered canter.
These are all things Try knows, does well and that we haven't done lately. Carrot slice treat to accomplish each well.
If I do this again any time soon, do not repeat--mix it up, different obstacles or do different things with the obstacle or do them riding, etc.
