Ahh, I am so happy I don’t have school tomorrow. I have plans of lounging around & then sleeping in tomorrow (: Though sleeping in means like, 8:30, but still. Compared to 5:30, that’s awesome.
I had a semi-group lesson. Usually it is me, Caity, and Savanna, but Savanna canceled so it was only Caity & I. We focused on dressage… ohh! Turns out the shows aren’t on the same weekend. Dressage one weekend & then H/J the next. That’s good – a lot less stress and more breathing room, for sure. ANYWAY. We warmed up in the main arena & then headed over to the dressage ring to run through our tests (Intro B & Training A)
Mmm, still having trouble picking up the left lead. For our test, I’m hoping that if he picks up the wrong lead, he’ll switch fast enough. Today, we picked up that right lead, but he didn’t change until three strides or so later, so ehhh. I’m definitely going to work on that. LEFT LEAD, LEFT LEAD ! Right lead is amazing. We can get these perfect transitions.
When I was getting Airborn out of the pasture, he was up against the rail. I hurried over to him, patted him, and then walked along the fence towards the gate to get his halter and bring him out. He walked right alongside me, so I decided to jog. He began trotting. Then, I basically ran – or atleast the best you can do in boots on an uneven surface. He trotted faster, right next to me. It was fun; I was laughing. I love my horse =]]
Exam week next week. UGH! I’m going to study my heart out this weekend. I have a 91. 51 in Geometry, lolz. I gotta ACE that exam if I want to keep my A. Same for English – I have a 92.00… good lord.
