Wednesday - Day 5 Devon

Groom/dwell, w/t/c including 1 lap (each way) of no stirrups--feeling stronger and more in sync--warmup w/t on the buckle/casual rein, downward transitions from intention. Finished with shower, graze and more dwell.

Day 5

I am getting stronger and we are communicating better.

1.      I can do one lap each way of no stirrups with walk in between.

2.      I can do laps of 2 point and double and triple posting and keep us together.

3.      Devon and I are learning downward transition from trot to walk from intention.

4.      Warmup walk and trot on casual rein using other hand to correct if leg is not enough to keep the follow my focus.

5.      Our upward transitions are going well and being cued lighter each time.

Try: friend of Jen's rode Try and I was very uncomfortable. She has been a student at Gables Run and lacked strength and wanted to balance on the reins. Try was quite unhappy and went into herself.
