Poor Final

He's stiff, and reluctant, but we're trying to get back in the swing of things. I'm managing to ride 3 days a week, and Leila is riding 1 day a week. Leila does the ever important riding at the walk for about 30 mins. Just asking him to walk actively forward and lots of changes of direction to try and loosen him up. Then I get to do all the hard work! 4 days a week of riding isn't bad, but I find I'm just managing his fitness level and suppleness rather than actually improving on anything. But that's okay, I do what I can. At least the days are getting longer so I should be able to squeeze another riding day in there so hopefully we can start improving again, rather than just maintaining. :)

This weekend should be a great weekend for riding. This Spring-like weather has put me in a great mood! :)

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.
