I rode my pony today, there was no one at the barn so I had to text Mom to let her know. He was a bit snarky at first, took about 15 minutes to warm up and get working. Once I got him thinking he was better but we still have a ways to go. It is still taking too much work to get him going. I sometimes think that he is just a squeeze away from blowing up. I hope not cause it will not be pretty, I will come off.
Once I got him going, we were doing really well, working on moving forward. Lots of transitions, circles, changes of direction, it really helps to get his mind on working with me. I am so close to getting a canter, I think that he is going to give it to me occasionally, especially after a halt/trot transition, it feels like if I asked for it he would give it to me. I am just too scared to ask, hoping Marilyn will be up to getting on him tomorrow or the next day. I wish I could do it.
The 4H Horse Club fun day is coming right along, got a couple of confirmed presentations and supplies coming. Should be fun. Going to get the kids involved in setting this up and running it.
