Todays ride was fabulous :) And I'm gonna tell you what I learned
1. If your days been really stressful just spend time with your horse don't work on the fine tuning, just groom or hangout
2.Take TIME. Warm up , stratch , itch , saddle up , warm up with saddle and then get on its well work the extra time
3.FOCUS. and remain patient. Don't expect a different result from the same type of asking take a deep breath sit back and think of a new way to ask and start over
4. Don't push you or your horse past your emotional/physical barriers if you're not ready.
So anyway it was pretty awesome! We worked on collected at a trot , half halts , shoulder in , halts , patterns , circles even some cantering we haven't started patterns or anything yet were just trying to get the right leads but im ok with that cause I know we'll get there.
Thanks for all the "pick me ups" yesterday :)
