Twirly twirly twirly.....
My child, you are very athletic! Although I may have helped you out with the cavesson today. Gracious! Today was a lovely day and after I took Dan for a ride and had lunch, I went to work both girls. They were all up at the hay barn in the shade so I decided to work them in the arena. I did Lyric first and Dan and Funny hung out at the gate. So then it was Funny's turn. She came right in and was ready to play! I put the cavesson on with the bit, but was still attached to her nose, not the bit. We did a bit of static pillar work and then moved on to lunging. She started out tracking right and was pretty good. I think that left is her good way now, so I may have to go back to starting left. We got some good work in, so then we did some straight lines at the walk in pillar 1, making sure she's not engaging her brachiocephalic. We also walked over the cavaletti's. Then we came back to the circle and went to lunge left. She was going nicely and then suddenly, she spun, went up, and twirled, and came down. I made her trot on and we basically were now trotting on the lunge to the right again. Ha ha. Okay... goober! I brought her back to a halt and we went back to the left and she was great. I have no idea what happened to make her go up, other than maybe she got a bit strung out with that shoulder and it was a good excuse. ha!
After we were done I walked her out and she reluctantly left the arena. She likes playing!
She also got to wear the brand new fly boots. Her legs are GLOWING :) ha ha.
