Had a very quiet ride with Lucas tonight, after about 2 trips around he started anticipating the cue to trot (and he was getting worried about it and getting 'stuck'). Anyways so we just started working on walk/halt/turns side passing and horsemanship maneuvers.
So we walked for 1/2 hour, its kept him from anticipating anything and kept both of us happy. Its not accomplishing much but if its keeping us both happy and looking foreword to the next ride that's worth it. I don't need to be a drill Sargent every time I ride.
We finally got some snow yesterday so all of the ponies had a good run and roll today for the first time in a long time. The ground her has been frozen and other than walking around the horses weren't getting much exercise outside.
Lucas' old Mom is coming to visit on the weekend. Shes a really nice girl and shes looking foreword to getting to ride him again. So Lucas is getting a hair cut tomorrow so he looks good!
I have lots of ideas for posts floating around in my head, I'll try and type them out soon I promise!

I am envious of how much of a connection you have with Lucas where you can tell so quickly how he is anticipating your next cue. Will I ever get there??? I hope so! We have had a lot of snow here lately, but the temps have been decent, so I am not complaining! :-)
