No video or pictures! We finally got a break from the rain yesterday and even got a few periods of sun today. My best friend came up to ride her mare (S) that is up here for breeding, and the Lady and I all went out and rode in the outdoor. He was so happy to be outside again! (and I was too!) We had good transitions in all directions except for his last trot to canter (to the left, surprise!) So I'm trying to stretch out my back and hips tonight trying to keep myself from sitting twisted.
My friend was very happy with how he looked, she thought he looked better than when he was showing last year which is a big complement from her. She is my best friend and she tells you like it is! If she says its good, its good, and shes not afraid to tell you when it looks like crap.
I rode him in my English saddle (Yeah me!!) and our show bit which he hasn't had in all year. He went good in it but tends to get a little behind the bridle if I don't drive him forward enough. However in a tough situation he will listen to it better than just the twisted wire so it will do for the first show.
So were on the countdown now to the show, Lucas gets new shoes tomorrow, and we leave for the show on Friday morning. I just need to finish packing Lucas show bags and boxes and my own suitcase, I got all the tack cleaned last night. Gaaaa! Why is the first show always so stressful!
