Saturday

Yesterday, Sat., Roode was better. We did lots of canter work which put him in a big sweat. The focus was increasing his impulsion and drive. He tends to skate out from underneath the rider by becoming hollow in the back and not using those muscles to his advantage. and then with that he does a lot of leg movement in an incorrect way. I didn't think it felt so great because I didn't feel at close enough contact with his body. but Beth said it got better and better. So, today, Sunday I'm going to ride him again. Usually he gets Sundays off. But I think he needs a motion feild day! So I'm going to work him all around the feild in hopes to rock his world with soem more fun stuff. Because I decided that maybe he's just bored with everything that we've been working on because he was really nervous about the work yesterday...I think he was taking me for granted and thought I wasn't serious...well, yest. he figured out that I was. :) too ta loo...
