middle of October.

Things are working ok.

I rode Stormy again today, this time on her own in the indoor, and she was good. A little more spooky and reactive than she was with two other horses being ridden in there, but still responsive to me. She has a habit of just stopping dead, for no apparent reason, but that's not the worst thing she can do, so we work through it.

Ella, the 'best' Rocky we have here is doing so well. Her back is quite weak - she's young and long backed - so she sometimes 'pops' her back legs in canter, so she becomes disunited and it's very uncomfortable, probably for her too. So, I don't canter her a lot when I ride her, I work on her tolt and circles, canter departures, but not actually cantering for more than a circle, a full go round the arena and maybe another circle. Until she can do this without breaking, I'm not going to push her, but still work her back in walk and tolt flexion circles and trails when they're passable.

Today I went exploring as it wasn't tooo wet and Ella did the creek crossing and walked past a big pop-up garage that was all white and crinkly. I then worked Chelsea, did some more, slower, spins and also went for a trail.

It's nice to be back in the rhythm.
