Well poo

 Today was a make up work day for the snow day. Sigh... so, I had to work. A;though at least God gave me a beautiful sunrise and an (apparently) rare morning rainbow!

 

I finished work and was home by 2 pm. I should have had time to ride too but I really wanted to inject Dan and Lyric, so I did. I thought I was going to have time to inject them both, ride Funny, drag the arena and spread manure. Ha! I barely had time to lunge her for 15 minutes before we ran out of daylight. after injecting the other two. And that was with me not picking up my injection stuff until after I lunged her. Oh well. We at least got a nice lunge in. Which was probably not a bad thing. She needs to carry herself better and slow her roll and it's sometimes easier to get her to do in the lunge pen vs under saddle. Plus, she is still young. 

 
We did some trotting, had one ground pole, and then did some trot to walk to trot transitions to help her rock back. She went around quite nice in her frame but was still a hair too quick. Although we had some moments with some nice lift and suspension. We also cantered a bit and she was pretty chill after the canter when we trotted, which is nice. I do think some of the tension under saddle with cantering is the anxiety about getting the left lead when I'm on board messing it up. 

She was a good girl though and only slightly feral. She had the peanut gallery watching her.
