Yesterday we:
- Warmed up
- Free trot (rising and sitting)
- Jumping in the same formation as last week (except just trotting over poles)
- Free canter (everyone got in a corner except for 1 person, and they got to canter around for 2 or 3 loops of the arena change direction, and do it again.)
*I rode bliss again! But today he was really easy going, and his canter was smooth, and amazing, even calm!

Lesson # 12
Uuuuugghh, I was really sick on friday, but i still went to riding this week. It was totally worth it!
-Warm up (circles, leg yields etc.)
-Turn on the haunches
- Free trot
Then cross rails were set up at around the middle of the arena in an L shape, and we did an exercise where you go one at a time, and trot into the jumps (1st with the poles down), and then halt at the letters you were trotting at (Ex. H and K) to master straightness. Then with the poles up trot in the same formation. Trot into the jump, trot out, and continue without halting.
Here is a picture of the exercise: (sorry not perfectly equal/straight)
I rode Bliss again! <3 Love you bliss!
