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

Today we got packed up to go camping with some of our friends from Creston. We took all four horses. we were the second people to arrive at our camp spot, so the first thing we did was park and unload the horses. The order they went in the trailer was Moon in the front stall with the divider closed, Storm in the next stall, Paris next to Storm and then Faith in the last stall. they all traveled great! After we got settled in and everyone else got there we all saddled up and went for a ride. I rode Storm and ponied Moon and mom rode Paris and ponied Faith. That's what we did on the 20th. The next day I woke up early and took Stormy out for a ride bareback. She did great! when I got back I had breakfast than we all went for a group ride. I rode Little Moon and mom rode Paris and ponied Storm and Faith. It was a long but really, really nice and fun! When we got back I grained all the horses and then took them for a swim down in the lake. It was so much fun! The next day my mom and I loaded up the horses and packed up everything and headed home.

Today I walked Moon on the ground to my house. She did great! We walked along the highway on a trail, then we went over a bridge( she walked over it great) after that we walked on the Jaffray village loop rd. to my house. during all of that there was not one moment that she showed any sign of nervousness. Later on we walked back to the pasture and I groomed her and grained her then put her away. It was a great day!! |
