April 1st 2009

Calypso: He was perfect. I learned that if I put a lot of leg on him, like my full leg not just heel, he totally lightens up in the bridle. He was so great :) I rode without stirrups. It hurts 

Jack: He was a little fresh, but not bad. Once I applied more leg on him, he lightened up too! He was strong going to the right. I rode him without stirrups too. 

Spyder: I rode my mare :) She was pretty sound. I love riding her. She was pretty happy. She went hyper when we cantered. I rode her with stirrups because I didn't know how she'd be. 

On another note, this weekend is regionals. I am competing individually. I also got  chosen to compete for the team for Open Flat which is the highest level in high school :)
