More Progress...

Well, Fin and I have been chugging along, working on various things. We're always working on the flying changes, we still have a long way to go with those silly things. But it's getting better. A friend helped me and she suggested trying to do changes down the quarterline, but before asking for a change, do a few steps of half pass, change the bend, then change the lead. That really helped me stay back in my seat because I was getting thrown forward. We're working on keeping rhythm and cadence in the trot during our lateral work and extended trots. I'm lucky to have a good friend be my eyes on the ground in between Ellen and Dennis visits.

We signed up for a show on March 23 in Danville. We're just doing one test, Third Level test 3. Kind of a warm up for the show season. We'll see how we do, and where we go from there.

Bronze Medal

I'm proud to say that Final has helped me earn my Bronze Medal from USDF. My beloved Yochi got the scores we needed at First Level, and Final helped me get the scores needed at Second and Third Levels. I'm pretty proud of my boys! They've taught me so much.

Up next, Silver Medal.
