Sorry Ive been away for so long!! I just finished up the government year end yesterday. It was an absolute shit show. Our computers did not load correctly on April 1, then when they did load, they missed stuff so I ended up having 2 days with nothing to work with, and had to do everything within 2 days (although we ended up running into the 3rd/4th with alot of things not getting to me in time) On the up side, its done!!
Lucas has been very good. We rode in my english saddle just before the end of the month, and it went good, he moves much better in the english saddle. Ive been riding him atleast once a week and managed to get in 2 rides the 2 weeks before year end.
He is due for his trim/new shoes so hes not as correct when hes due, but his canter to the right is very good. We were cantering squares today (cantering to a half halt and an almost piviot/periout then cantering the next side of the square) This really gets him back on his haunches and opening up his sholders. Cantering to the left isnt as good/easy expecaly when hes due, but the consistancy is coming much better.
I had him out to lunge in our new out-door ring on thursday (yes we can finaly go outside to ride!!) and he was fantastic! He walked up to the ring (to an area of the farm he hasnt been to before) We had a walk around then we lunged, he was calm, cool and moving great! That makes me feel alot beter about how hes going to behave at the shows (Ive never taken him anywheres so although he knows how to show I need to know how hes going to handle it and how to best prep him) And today we rode with 2 of the kids to see how he handle the trafice and he was good as well! I cant wait for show season!!!
