Moving on!

So my last 2 rides I have been working over poles. It is AMAZING! The difference in my horses movement is CRAZY! Grace is not a bad mover she is just EXTREMELY lazy. Instead of me trying and working extremely hard to get her to move well, I just throw my reins away and let her figure out how to go over the rails. After I worked on rails for 20ish minutes I stuck her on the rail and she just FLOATED around the rail at the lope! her shoulders were lifted and she really drove with her back end. I would normally have to work with her 40 minutes to get her to move like that. But here she really enjoyed going over the rails (It is good for her mind) and she really just did it on her own with out me having to really do all that much.

On this ride I worked on extending the lope and bring the mare back to normal speed. I got 3 good "transition" back to normal speed. I also worked on her pivots she is rough there. I can get good right pivot but I cannot get  consistently good left pivots. she does not keep her left back foot  planted. It is really annoying me but. I will continue to  work on it. I also really worked on getting her to use her hind end with out me using my hands.

The Point of This Blog!

So the point of this blog is going to be to really just for me! This is going to be my riding and show journal an since I will be more faithful with something on the internet then on a legit journal.... and the fact that I can easily look at stuff that is a year old then with a journal. for people who come across this blog I hope you are very very entertained:) excuse spelling errors and incorrect sentences please because as I said early this is really for me so I am not worried about correctness.
