Today we left to go to Creston for a clinic. For the clinic we took all four horses so we could work with all of them even if we weren't riding them in the clinic. The two main horses that we rode in the clinic were Faith and Paris. I rode Faith and My mom rode Paris. It was so much fun I got to see people I haven't seen in a while. Anyway during the clinic I worked on getting my slides with Faith. It went pretty good. After I rode Faith I then rode Moon. While riding Moon I worked on getting her speed control. We were in Creston for six days. I only rode in three of the six days but it was still a lot of fun. I can't wait till the next clinic!!

Today I only rode Two out of four horses. The two horses I rode were Faith and Moon. I first rode Moon because I never ever really ride Moon first so I thought it would be a good change. Actually I rode Moon bareback today and she did amazing!! I rode her at all gates and she did great I was even able to jump her over a jump and get her collected too!!! It was a great. After riding Moon I rode Faith. while riding Faith I actually Worked on sliding stops. Actually Jerry worked with both of us on our sliding stops. She did really good by the end. At first she was very tight in the front end and jammy but by the end she was amazing!! It was a great day!! Oh by the way tomorrow my mom and I head to Creston for a horse clinic. It's going to be so much fun!!! Today I rode all the horses at Fenners. The order I rode them in was;
Faith Paris Moon Storm While riding Faith I worked on getting her to bend to the inside at a trot and a canter and getting her to trot and canter nice and easy to get her anxiety down. She did great at both exercises!! After riding Faith I then rode Paris. While riding Paris I also worked on getting her to bend at a trot and a canter and I also worked on speed control. She did amazing at both. After riding Paris for a while I then rode Moon. While riding Moon I worked on getting her light and collected in a circle at all gates. She did amazing!!! After working with Moon I then rode Storm Bareback. While riding Storm bareback I worked on getting her to react more off my leg then my hands. This will help me when I ride her bareback and briddleless. She did really good. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. Today I rode at the arena of dreams. The arena of dreams is part of the south country horseman. Anyway today I rode all of the horses. The order I rode them in was;
Storm Faith Paris Moon While riding Storm I worked on her leads and lead changes and her spins. She did pretty good at her lead changes, and she did amazing at leads and spins. After I rode Storm I then Rode Faith. While I was riding Faith I worked on getting her hip to the inside at a trot and a canter. She did great at both. After working on that I then worked on her spins. which most definitely did not need work. Anyway after working with Faith for a bit I then worked with Paris. Now Paris was good except she had to much speed, so I mainly worked on speed control. She did pretty good. After riding her I worked with Moon. Now Moon has been doing Great!! She now has speed control and doesn't run out of control anymore. I can now ride her on a loose rein and she is very light so I can get her collected more. Anyway I rode her nice and easy today. She was extraordinary!!!!! I can't wait to ride them all tomorrow! July 5,2017
