Feeling Better!

Funny got lunged today and she must be feeling better! She was much less cranky and much sassier than her last lunging session. Ha ha. She was a good girl though! I walked her up to the arena and none of the other horses came to hang out with us. So rude! But she was so brave and didn't care. 

I put the nylon cavesson on her because the leather one is just soooo heavy. And she's a good girl and doesn't mind the bit, so.. until my new one comes... (hopefully that one will work with the bit too) I'll alternate between them. We did a few minutes of our pillar work and pillar 3. I also did a little bit of chest lifts. I think I need to start doing more of these with all my horses. 

So then we went to lunging. Still a tiny bit of sass, but definitely not the way she was at her last lunging. There was no ugly faces and no real unhappiness. She still tracks with her haunches wide laterally no matter which direction, so we worked on that. It takes her a bit, but once she gets going... she starts to straighten up and track her tracks. And then we went left... and she got loose... and ran like a fool. Oh baby girl! She let me catch her fairly quickly and went right back to work. We even did a few walk to trot to walk to trot transitions. :) 











We didn't work too long and then did our psoas stretch. Good girl! Mostly. ;) 


And then I turned them out in the dog pen field and she drank and ISN'T SHE THE CUTEST!!! Her little ears work just like Dan's when he drinks. :)
