Tuesday

Try

THE PLAN
groom, check FQ/HQ yields lightness in porcupine game, warmup for MH
MH: ask her to check for suppleness, discuss freedom and rhythm in the trot and using HQ in the canter.

Let Try know MH will ride.

"I am loving my morning with the glorious, wonderful Try--spending time together is golden."

WHAT WE DID

good stuff

• It was delightful being in Try's company: grooming, warming up, hanging out, the mounting block and showering. So sweet, relaxed and a pleasure to be with.
• I saw a really pretty trot--may have some video
• It took a while to get canter but it was nice also--balance of rhythm relaxation and framing up
• compliment from MH for Try and I for how soft and light she was on contact

Priority

Play with canter and counter canter

Conversation out back

Sephira

THE PLAN
the mounting block, see if Catherine/BA want to play/discuss
picture in my mind Sephira approaching the mounting block and getting into place.

"Sephira is walking to the mounting block and positioning herself for mounting--happy to help and fully confident that her ride will be lovely."

Catherine rode Sephira--nice at the mounting block--did not go internal. Enjoyed grooming and shower but issues with coughing especially at the canter.

Both affirmations/visualizations did happen just as pictured.
