Really good rides the past two days. Yesterday we ventured out into the field! I had heard some stories so I was a little skeptical, but in the end he was pretty awesome!! He listened perfectly and it really loosened him up. The ride before that was ok, I just don't feel like I know him. He was kind of gimpy, which makes his trot really uncomfortable and the rest of the ride just isn't as food as it could be. Today I started out in the field. We walked a bunch through tall grass and leg yielded and did circles. Anything to get him to put pressure on his hocks. After that we did some trot and leg yielding, and of course cantered! He got so excited. The whole way back he could barley contain himself walking. But he still listened very well. The field was an awesome warm up because he didn't limp around hardly at all in the ring and he didn't feel bad in the field either. I think our minds are both off of his legs in the field and it's more fun, so I don't feel so bad. When we got to the arena he was taking off my hands trying to go fast. One downside from warming up in the field. But I'll take it!
