Well most of the horses have either there winter blankets on on have grown a decent coat so it should be no surprise that today we are getting our first decent snowfall. Right now its just enough to cover the driveways in white, but we may get enough to even cover the grass tonight.
Went and rode Lucas this morning, he was decently good. Our biggest problem is me, I'm still very stiff and I find it hard to be coordinated so were taking it slow still. I got on him and walked and trotted for about 20 min. Mostly just thinking about keeping him going correctly in the direction I wanted to go and using his hind end to drive up underneath himself. The indoor is small so I need him to stay balanced in a shorter frame, where as he would really like to stretch out where he is most comfortable.
I'm working on my sitting trot as well as I tend to drive too much with my legs with I rise, mostly from habit I think but it wont hurt me to try and develop a stronger tighter quieter leg over the winter.
