Fabulous day today even though it rained for most of it. Got a ride in the arena in the morning, squeeze between barrels, L-shape and weave. Cathy told me a different way to do the weave by asking for sideways between the cones, got to work on that.
In the afternoon we played hacking games, leapfrog and there and back again. Bonny was fine at leapfrog but there and back again was challenging for her especially when Evie walked or trotted away, I had to disengage her a lot to stop her following. She got quite emotional when there was a lot of noise from the other group and the saddle was slipping, or should I say we both got emotional! I jumped off sorted the saddle out and calmed down before getting back on again. There and back again was great when it was our turn to ride away from the others, Bonny walked then trotted straight to the gate at the other side of the arena.
We then went into the wood to play on-line while the other group had their turn in the arena. Lots of squeezes and dogs barking. Great fun! I took some pictures today with Cathys camera so just got to wait for her to send them to me and I'll post them here. Really looking forward to the hack tomorrow :o)
