Winter... go away.


This winter is way too long. All summer I was riding Ella everyday, she was getting so great. Getting more and more contact. Then bam no riding. I just started back up riding last month... which has consisted of maybe in all... 2 weeks of good rides. The weather in Maine is totally against equestrians completely. Unless you have an indoor.
    Anyway.. rode yesterday and Ella was amazing. She never loses what she learned. We actually had some good trot>walk transitions for once. She even walked a 20meter circle a couple times, and changed direction without any balkiness or jigging.
     Finally have all the tack I need for eventing too... so just waiting for good weather and a dry ring to get back to work before show season jumps on us. I can tell she's going crazy too.
      Snitch my project for my mom, is doing good from when he got here in November. He hasn't dragged me for some time now, and we've been getting better at standing on the crossties, or at any tie up. His feet are getting better... I can pick them up easy now. And he's seemed to have broken his pacing habit after loads of lunging. Can't wait to really get him going, he has so much there... he's just so misunderstood.

God Bless.
