(yes it's 4am the next day but still I haven't slept so what's the difference)
Sorry (if anyone cares) that I haven't been on lately! I have in fact been riding but haven't done any training logs and I should feel bad. Besides today, I have been riding Dexter through barrels and finally encouraged him to get that "spark" back! I finally have fast runs again! And as for Cade, he is doing great. Going to that clinic really boosted both our confidences and we are finally able to walk/trot/canter without any major meltdowns from him!
As for today, I was home alone and therefor unable to ride. However, I made a makeshift "round pen" (which was actually square but whatever) and did some free longing.
Cade was first. We encountered and defeated the mighty and terrifying tarp, then made the tarp into a make-shift ditch which he couldn't have cared less about. Very good time :)
Dexter next. He was great as well! I wanted to work on small jumps, since he is my gaming horse and has problems with over-jumping in our Jumping Figure 8 pattern! He did great but I also realized how hilariously horrible his jumping form is!
I will be posting gifs/pictures soon :D
