i didn't go out - hot again ,fly repellent not that effective against the horse flies (gaynor reckons we have more of them this year as the grass has been allowed to get a lot longer than in past years, certainly in the past just been normal flies...) so in the arena...
and he was VERY good...
again, straight into trot, i know, should do walk warm up but frankly it's not as if his muscles will need much warming in this heat!
pretty good with the walk/trot transitions - i didn't ask for more than a couple of strides of walk at a time as i wanted to ensure we kept forward, which we did all bar one moment when he did stop, but didn't take me a lot to get him going again (one turn on the forehand.....)
did about 20 minutes and then called it good and went and hosed him off!
Flies are not too bad in my barn area, but outside in the fields? Ick. We've had tons of rain too, so that doesn't help. What we all need is a good drying out.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the riding is going well.
