I fed and took care of Joey and Finn (the flies are horrible on them), and did some ground work with Banks (he might have his wolf teeth so we’re waiting on the vet to start riding him again).

Then I did a lesson with B (and M!) and Koda was nearly flawless. We had, like a 30 minute lesson because the only problem we had (Koda coming off the back side of the barrel really oddly) was solved because he actually started pivoting on that inside hind!
